TWENTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME | Sunday Mass Readings - August 28, 2022  (Year C)

"Take my yoke upon you, says the Lord, and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart." - Mt 11:29ab

Jesus is the model of true humility and by His life, He has shown us how things work in the Kingdom of God. His practical advice not to sit uninvited in places of honor or to exalt ourselves before others save us from a lot of embarrassment. Indeed, Jesus has taught us that the Kingdom of God is a polar reversal of our familiar world in that the last, the least and the lost will be exalted.

 “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter but will not be strong enough." - Luke 13:24

The Christian life demands that we strive not only to know Jesus, but also to live like He did. This is not easy especially when we are confronted by our human weaknesses and tendencies. But God assures us that His grace is enough for us in our journey towards Him. Let us ask God to grant us the grace to persevere in faith, hope and love that we may keep walking despite the obstacles and challenges we meet along the way.

"My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord; I know them, and they follow me." - John 10:27

God wants no human being lost eternally. He detests sin but he still loves the sinner. He is always ready to grant a full pardon for each and every sin a man commits, if only the sinner has the humility to say "mea culpa." (CatholicCulture.org)

"Jesus said to his disciples: 'Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your belongings and give alms. Provide money bags for yourselves that do not wear out, an inexhaustible treasure in heaven that no thief can reach nor moth destroy. For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.'" - Luke 12:32-34

Our heavenly Father desires for us to share in His most glorious Kingdom. When we understand God's immense love for us, we will be compelled to love Him back with the same depth of intimacy. Through Christ's Incarnation, He has put us on the road to heaven and He is ever helping and guiding us on the way.

"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." - Mt 5:3

What riches occupy your heart today? Where are you storing up your treasures?

Eternity has no room for worldly possessions. It is not even the quantity of this world's goods which you possess that will be your undoing, but the quality of the hold which have on you. May the promise of eternal life with God teach us the true value of the world's goods and inspire us to be more generous in using our gifts and resources for God's glory and the Church's good.
