For the Ride Home
22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time (C)
August 29, 2010
Scripture
•Humble yourself the more, the greater you are and you will find favor with God. (Sirach 3:18)
•God gives a home to the forsaken; he leads forth prisoners to prosperity. (Psalm 68:7) •…and Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, (Hebrew 12:24a) •…go and take the lowest place. (Luke 14:10) Reflection
•What is the wisdom in this week’s scripture?
•What is God asking? •How is Jesus the mediator of God and humans? In your unfathomable mercy you first gave the humble certain pointers to the true Mediator, and then sent him, that by his example they might learn even a humility like his. This Mediator between God and humankind, the man Christ Jesus appeared to stand between mortal sinners and the God who is immortal and just: like us he was mortal, but like God he was just. (St. Augustine, The Confessions, translated by Maria Boulding, (Hyde Park, New York City Press) 1997, p. 282,3) For the Ride Home is available for publication in your parish bulletin. Please contact Ted Bergh for details, or to communicate any
questions or feedback. Ted Bergh is a free-lance writer serves on the advisory board of St. Anthony Messenger Press.
