SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

 a reflection on
today’s readings
Grow as a Disciple
Today is the last Sunday in Ordinary Time before Lent
begins. I realize in saying it that way, however, it sounds
like a warning (“the bookstore will be closing in five
minutes, please bring your purchases to the register!”)
rather than an acknowledgement of the celebration that
it is. We are in some of the earliest days of the Church’s
“ordered”, ordinary and numbered, approach to helping
us mature and grow in faith. We do this by living with and
in the life of Christ over the course of a year. At each step
we celebrate the life, passion, death, and resurrection of
Christ, but we also set aside different seasons to focus
on those specific elements. And so it makes sense that
as we approach Lent, we hear more about what exactly
God asks of us. Today’s readings remind us of what sets
us back: hatred for others, desire for revenge, grudges,
worldly wisdom, all things which are destructive of God’s
temple, our souls. As Saint Paul says, "Having a heart full
of these things means there is no room for love, which
means there is no room for Christ." Let us pray for God’s
help in ridding ourselves of all that is destructive, and for
the strength to grow a heart only for him.

Go Evangelize
I’d argue that in some ways, Lent actually starts
before Ash Wednesday since it requires forethought
and planning. We have to prepare for a season of
preparation! We have to figure out what to fast from or
add to our spiritual lives, and how we might specifically
direct our almsgiving. Today’s Gospel offers practical
actions, things which all Christians should strive for daily,
but especially observe during Lent if a spiritual reset
is needed. Jesus tells us to turn the other cheek. Hand
over your cloak. Go the extra mile, "Give to the one
who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who
wants to borrow.” Love your enemies and pray for your
persecutors. Lent is a call to act out of love, especially
in tough situations. Take these next couple of days to
prepare for Ash Wednesday and the weeks that follow.

Study
Spend some time taking stock of your spiritual life. Are
you holding contempt for someone or seeking revenge
for something? Where might you be falling short in
striving to imitate Christ? Bring these thoughts to God in
prayer.
