24th Sunday of
Ordinary Time
"The Pharisees and scribes began to complain,
saying, 'This man welcomes sinners and eats with
them.'" Jesus knew these self-righteous religious
leaders were complaining. And he knew they needed to
learn a lesson. So, in addition to giving a lived example
of welcoming the company of "tax collectors and
sinners," Jesus also directly taught the skeptics about
the importance of welcoming those who have been lost.
Today's Gospel gives a powerhouse lineup of three
parables that all teach a similar message: rejoice over
the lost sheep, rejoice over the lost coin, and rejoice
over the return of the lost son.
The theme can be summarized in the simple
directive: rejoice don't reject. When someone who isn't
part of the "fold" appears in church, this is cause for
rejoicing! It should not be cause for gossip, sideways
glances, or nervous whispers about what to do or say.
Rather a genuine smile and word of welcome would be
in order at the very least, and a heartfelt invitation to
join the community would be totally appropriate.
Too often we become complacent about our
Christian company. We get used to seeing the same
people every Sunday and forget about the "lost" men
and women who are outside the bounds of our comfort
zone. Jesus gives us the image of an active shepherd
who goes "after the lost one until he finds it," and a
diligent widow who will "sweep the house, searching
carefully" until she finds her coin. He tells us of a father
who "ran to his son, embraced and kissed him," in spite
of the separation they had faced. We too are called to
take initiative in seeking out those who are lost, and to
rejoice heartily when they finally do come back home.
Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions
September, 2016
General Intention: That each may contribute to the
common good and to the building of a society that
places the human person at the center.
