Homily reflec on
Some mes we judge other people based on appearance
or because of personal stories we know. Perhaps we spurn the capacity of others to direct or the talents they have that can be put at
the service of the Church.
Other mes, some groups perceive that they have the
privilege and all the right within a community to direct and lead.
Although they are not outright denied into the group, they may
make it dicult or almost impossible for newcomers to the
community or younger people to have access. Today, Jesus warns
against all this. No one, except God, has the right to decide who
has moral authority and who does not.
Perhaps we behave in the same manner in our homes.
Whether it is because we know people too well, and with such familiarity their true talents escape us, or because we are stuck doing
the things we do that we do not recognize the good and talent of
those around us. If someone takes the ini a ve and does something well, a cri c o en emerges, like Joshua or John in the gospel
reading. It is sad, but what these reac ons o en
indicate is a feeling of envy and a sense of being threatened. In the
insecurity of our iden ty and certain resentments, we think others
can do things well or even be er than us.
Today we are called toward a more joyous and peaceful
a tude, which can also provide greater peace and trust: a call to
recognize the good in others; to celebrate it; to thank God for so
many blessings and talents; to serve others without
compensa on; and to support all eorts in our surroundings that
produce good, kindness, and beauty.
For reflec on
Have I ever felt threatened because someone close to me knows
how to do something beer than I do? Have I ever witnessed
conflict and tension in my parish or community? What is the
reason behind it? In my home, am I able to recognize talent, kindness, service, and generosity among my family members? Do I
appreciate and support them?
Blessing of Animals
In honor of St. Francis' love of all God's Crea on,
Franciscans worldwide bless animals for the Feast of
St. Francis. The Friars will ask God's blessing on any
domes c pets you would bring on Saturday, October
3rd. We will meet from noon un l 12:30 pm in the grassy area of
the parking lot across from the Church.
