Reflection on the 22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time: The readings today remind us that we can be more attentive to the lonely people we know. We know the importance of seeing all people as equal in the kingdom of God and in God’s eyes. The readings raise the issue of how do we welcome people into our lives. How do we make people feel important to us and let them know how much we value and cherish them? All of us are somebody in Gods‟ eyes. Each of us is very dependent on God. We are told to learn from Jesus because He is meek and humble of heart. Notice who Jesus invites to His Eucharistic table. Who do we invite to our tables? Notice also that to invite means to offer an opportunity of beginning a friendship, of calling another person to be part of our lives, of sharing one‟s time, interests, talents and treasures with another. Jesus does this for us and invites us to do the same for others.
Please enjoy the remaining days of summer.
