TWENTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time PAGE 2 September 10, 2017
PAGE 3 Vigésimo Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario GOD’S WATCHERS
In the ancient world watchmen were extremely im-portant people. They kept communities safe, and were there to alert them to any impending danger or attack. Before locks, alarms, and security systems, watchmen were the protectors, the safety measure. So when the Lord charges Ezekiel as a watchman today, it is a weighty charge. So weighty, we learn, that if Ezekiel fails to sound the alarm for those around him and they perish in a state of wickedness, Ezekiel will be held responsible! This profound connection between God’s will on earth and in heaven is repeated in today’s Gospel, where Jesus instructs us that we are to be the security force, the watchers placed on alert that nowhere in the Body of Christ, the church, will there be any two members of the one Body who are not reconciled. Scripture tells us that Jesus reconciled all things in heaven and on earth through the blood of his cross. But we are given the mission to continue that reconciliation on earth as in heaven through our ceaseless efforts to be, as Paul would write, ambassa-dors of reconciliation. Let us not get too comfortable thinking that we are responsible only for keeping our own lives from the path of wickedness and disagreement. We are also held accountable for the lives of the members of Christ’s body around us.
Question of the Week
First Reading — Warn the wicked, trying to turn them from their ways (Ezekiel 33:7-9). Psalm — If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts (Psalm 95). Second Reading — Owe nothing to anyone, except mu-tual love (Romans 13:8-10). Gospel — If two agree about anything for which they pray, it shall be granted to them (Matthew 18:15-20).
Question for Children: What is one thing you would do for someone whom you loved? Question for Adults: How do you make sure you follow the way of love as described by Paul in today’s reading? What steps do you take to eliminate the unlov-ing — grudges, hatred, prejudice, or others.
Primera lectura — Somos responsables unos de otros y debemos guiarnos mutuamente (Ezequiel 33:7-9). Salmo — Si hoy escuchas su voz, no endurezcas tu co-razón (Salmo 95 [94]). Segunda lectura — La ley del amor nos obliga (Romanos 13:8-10). Evangelio — Jesús está presente siempre que haya dos o tres reunidos en su nombre (Mateo 18:15-20).
Pregunta para los niños: ¿Qué harías por alguien que tú amas? Pregunta para los adultos: ¿Cómo se asegura de seguir la forma en la que Pablo describe el amor en la lectura de hoy? ¿Qué pasos toma para eliminar los obstáculos de falta de amor, odio, prejuicio u otros?
