Today we celebrate the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. This Sunday focuses on problems of divorce and marriage. We meet these problems very often in our lives or in the lives of our friends. We see the difficulty of people’s lives, when they don’t love themselves and their children.
We call the Family the first Church, because it is the first place where we start to praise the Lord our Father and we put the first steps on the way to our salvation. When this first Church is collapsing by divorce or some other problems our spiritual life starts to fall and we feel as the ship without a port. The Eucharist is the background of our personal relations to God and to our neighbors. Here and now we find help for our daily problems in existence of our family, here and now we regenerate ourselves to the real love – the sacrificial one, which we call agape

- “Free will is not given to us merely as a firework to be shot off into the air. There are some men who seem to think their acts are freer in proportion as they are without purpose, as if a rational purpose imposed some kind of limitation upon us. That is like saying that one is richer if he throws money out the window than if he spends it.†(Thomas Merton – No Man is an Island)

One Main Point
God, who is Love, defines for us–created in His image–what love is. It is the giving up of one’s self, as in a marriage, “so they are no longer two but one body.” It is the trust and hope present in every child’s heart.
Reflections
1. What teachings of Christ am I struggling with right now? Can I trust Him enough to follow His way, even if , currently, I lack understanding?
2. Reflecting on my childhood, how happily dependent I was on my parents, and how I eagerly awaited their gifts, I ask God to restore that attitude to me. So that with open heart, I trust His teachings; I trust that they will lead me to my true and everlasting happiness.
