Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time—Year B
“He taught with authority …”
John Herd PP
The people who heard Jesus were impressed with his teaching because, unlike the scribes,
he taught them with authority. We might recall those teachers who made a deep
impression on us. Maybe we had one teacher who enabled me to find new energy and a
new potential which I didn’t know I possessed. I wonder if that teacher unlocked
something in me because I realised that I was loved.
As we begin the school year we can be conscious of our children who have returned to
school. May they grow in self-confidence and learn to trust in the world around them. We
are blessed with two Catholic schools in our parish, St Mary’s Memorial School and Our
Lady of Grace School, which have the mission of educating in all that is good and human
in the context of our Catholic faith. We can be conscious of our teachers and support staff
and their important mission.
Parents have a direct teaching role which guides the lives of their children. How good it is
for parents to spend time with their children, to find out about them and their interests.
Sometimes the pace of our life is very fast, and we struggle to spend time with family.
But it is important for parents to spend time with a child in order to know his or her
interests and concerns. Correction and guidance is best given in the context of a loving
relationship. The family is the first setting for learning to relate to others. Hopefully in
the family we learn to listen to each other, to be patient, to show respect and to help one
another. That would be a wonderful gift for a child as it prepares her or him to build
friendships beyond their family.
Grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins all have input into the education of children.
Sometimes extended family members are of immense help to children. The school
provides much help, but parents retain a primary role in educating their own children.
Education does not mean instructing someone else to follow my ways. Rather it means to
help others “grow in freedom, maturity, overall discipline and real autonomy” (Amoris
Laetitia, 261). As adults, our task in education is to help children choose to use their
freedom with intelligence and growing responsibility.
Jesus made a deep impression because he taught with authority and Jesus’ authority came
from love. He looked on others with tenderness and compassion and recognised the
longings in their hearts. Maybe that’s the best way we can teach. And by our acceptance
of weakness and failure, and forgiveness and trying again we are also teaching the
important value of mercy. Mercy gives us a new courage to persevere in love. And no
doubt, our teaching is most effective when motivated by love.
