At Home with the Lectionary

This week has us sending along a re-post from the archives. The readings for this week are the same, but any time-sensitive things will be circa 2023. Thanks for joining us friends! 

In this episode, we consider the readings for Proper 5, Year A in the Lectionary cycle:

Genesis 12:1-9; Psalm 33:1-12; Hosea 5:15-6:6; Psalm 50:7-15; Romans 4:13-25; Matthew 9:9-13, 18-26.

We discuss the story of the blessing of Abram, Hosea's prophetic indictment of destructive religious exploitation, the challenges of preaching doctrinal passages in Romans, and the profound way Jesus confronts the religious hypocrisy as he teaches people to learn what it means that God desires mercy and not sacrifice.

The quote Aaron mentioned: "Polytheism, therefore, was really a sort of pool; in the sense of the pagans having consented to the pooling of their pagan religions. And this point is very important in many controversies ancient and modern. It is regarded as a liberal and enlightened thing to say that the god of the stranger may be as good as our own; and doubtless the pagans thought themselves very liberal and enlightened when they agreed to add to the gods of the city or the hearth some wild and fantastic Dionysus coming down from the mountains or some shaggy and rustic Pan creeping out of the woods. But exactly what it lost by these larger ideas is the largest idea of all. It is the idea of the fatherhood that makes the whole world one."

- G.K. Chesterton, The Everlasting Man
