Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading I — Genesis 2:18-24
Reading II — Hebrews 2:9-11
Gospel: Mark 10:2-16
He Embraced Them and Blessed Them - Today Jesus stresses how children embody the reign of God. They are trusting and loving and have hearts that are open to love. They are joyful when they are made aware of God's love for them, and are eager to return that love. This is the model Jesus holds out to us if we want to welcome the reign of God. We need to have open, loving hearts. We must drop our defenses, however, we came by them, and welcome Christ's love for us with joy. This is impossible for us on our own. Only the grace of God will enable us to do this, but that grace is freely and generously given. We have only to accept it. Copyright, J.S. Palush Co.
