SIXTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
THE MERCY, POWER, AND LOVE OF GOD
The first reading today, from the book of Wisdom, makes its point over and over, at least five times in five verses! God is mighty, but lenient to all. God's power is shown in kindness and clemency, not in harshness and condemnation, and those who govern God's people must govern in the same way, with kindness. This loving kindness and gentleness is not contrary to God's might, but is a direct result of God's primacy over all. Who are we,
then, to judge what is in the hearts of our fellow Christians and all people, when God commands justice with love and clemency?
Likewise, the Holy Spirit makes up for our ignorance of what we need, speaking in a language we do not yet understand. But God knows our needs before we do, understands the intercessions of the Spirit, and helps us in our weakness. This is our hope: God's mercy, power, and love.

“THAT WOULD BE YOUR VOCATION…”
“Reflecting on Jesus’ mandate to proclaim the kingdom, I made a personal pledge to you. I said: ‘I promise to do everything I can not to become a mercenary priest who thinks of priesthood more as a career, a way to make a living. Rather, I will stay focused on my mission to be a prophetic priest, who has a pastor's heart, who tries to lead every parishioner to a real encounter with the living God, who loves his parishioners in truth. Just as I want to avoid becoming a mercenary priest, I'd like you to avoid having a consumer mentality with regard to church. Don't look at the church as a service provider, where you pay money to get service. Rather, just as I want to become a prophetic priest, I'd like you to want to become a disciple of Christ, one who resolves to further the Church's mission - i.e. to help others hear the call to repentance and welcome Christ into their lives. That would be your vocation.’”
