22nd Sunday in
Ordinary Time
We are not called on
to judge our own
worthiness or value,
but to leave those
judgments to God.
Whether we are at a social event or striving in
our daily lives to attain the kingdom of God, it is
best not to place ourselves above others. In the
Kingdom of God, rank or prestige carries no
meaning; we are all brothers and sisters, chil-
dren of the same God.

HOLY YEAR OF MERCY
December 8, 2015—November 20, 2016
THE SPIRITUAL WORKS OF MERCY
Jesus said, “Blessed are the merciful, for mercy shall
be theirs” (Mt 5:7), which makes the practice of the
Spiritual Works of Mercy a win-win for everyone!
When we instruct the ignorant and counsel the
doubtful, we’re forced to brush up on our own faith
in order to properly inform others. How many mis-
understandings about Church teaching could be pre-
vented if we understood not just what She teaches,
but why!
Admonishing sinners isn’t about judging some-
one’s heart; it’s about those everyday moral deci-
sions about right and wrong that we make whenever
we decide not to steal, gossip, lie, etc. When we ad-
monish sinners with love, we reaffirm our own con-
victions and make this world more civil and loving.
To bear wrongs patiently not only impresses those
who offend us, it makes us stronger in body, mind
and spirit. Paybacks might feel good, but they also
introduce discord and division into our world. When
we bear wrongs patiently, we become channels of
peace.
Scripture and science agree that forgiving offenses
willingly, letting go of grudges and bitterness,
makes people happier, healthier and better able to
meet the challenges of everyday life.
Comforting the afflicted brings the merciful touch
of God to those most in need. Our own faith is rein-
forced when we see how God’s presence can
strengthen a soul in the midst of suffering.
Praying for the living and the dead unites us to the
full Body of Christ — both in heaven and on earth
— and invites the power of God into the lives of our
living and deceased loved ones. When we give
God’s Mercy to others, it becomes a blessing to us
all!
