27th Sunday in Ordinary

/ From the Pastor, Parish Life / By

Today we celebrate the 27th Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Ordinary Time is for us sometimes the extraordinary, because we can realize our real sense of faith.

Today’s Gospel gives us the example of the smallest seed on the world which is the mustard seed, to compare to our faith and it says that is enough for our faith to make the things which are known as a miracle. From the other side we need for ourselves the deeds which are the double check for our faith. And the good service for our neighbors as a servant will be the best realization of our faith in practice.

The Eucharist is the one big proof which we are making in our private lives to double check that we believe in God and His Kingdom. We come at the Mass and from the human looking we come for nothing. We hear some words, and we see the action which priest is making and what for? But this is the miracle of our faith that after this service we are becoming better Christians, better fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters and friends etc. By this we worship God, and we give Him our heartfelt praise.

„If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you would say to this mulberry tree, ‘Be uprooted’….”

Welcome Our Visitors

We welcome all our visitors who are present with us for worship this Sunday! Please introduce yourself to the Pastor after Mass. Please write your names in the guest book located in the vestibule of the church. Please remember that you are always welcome to join us in worship at Holy Cross Church.

One Main Point

Faith in God can transform and empower us to serve God in incredible ways, but we should credit God and not ourselves for our total effort or for the spectacular results. What we can look forward to is a free gift from God to include us in God’s household.

Reflections

  1. Have you ever been glad to play a minor role in a group you admired? Does that experience throw some light on this parable?
  2. In what way do you experience the Church as God’s household?
  3. How could you help others to know the church as “home?”
