Today we celebrate the 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time and “Spójnia Sunday”. In our lives is the time when we come to the Church for the worship of God and our own growth up in holiness. The Holy Mass is not only our duty, but it is our privilege as of the mature Christian. It is our small step on the way to salvation – to heaven. This step is simply the consequence of our daily deeds.
The sin of omission – we simply did not do the good that we could have done – is every time the obstacle on our way to salvation. We sin through our own fault, in our thoughts and in our words, in what we have done and in what we have failed to do.
The Eucharist is our time to break the obstacles in our lives, to see our future as a result of our past and present existence already saved by God. Therefore, we praise God for that future, and we can get the holiness by His grace here and now.
„From the netherworld he…saw Abraham far of and Lazarus at his side.”

- MY MISSION: When I am the disciple of Christ and the active member of his Church I realize this and participate in all matters which concern Him. The Ordinary Time Liturgy of the Holy Mass is not my challenge it is my privilege and way to salvation also the proof of my real membership.
- God is not separate from the Church as He is everywhere and in everything and we are all His children – Hindu, Muslim, or Christian. When we gather in His name this gives us strength. The Church gives us our priests, the Mass, and the sacraments, which we need in our daily lives to do our work. We need the Eucharist because unless we are given Jesus we cannot give to Him.(Mother Teresa – A Simple Path)

Reflections
- How do you feel when you see a street person?
- How is the Gospel situation true of the present time? In what ways do you identify with the rich person? In what ways do you identify with the poor person in the Gospel?
