14th Sunday of the Year

First Reading Ezekiel 2: 2-5
Ezekiel’s mission is to people who have turned against God. They do not want to listen to what he says, but he reminds them that his words are the words of the Lord.

Second Reading 2
Corinthians 12: 7-10

I shall be very happy to make my weaknesses my special boast so that the power of Christ may stay over me.

Gospel Mark 6: 1-6
Jesus is amazed at the lack of faith in those who would not accept him.

14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Jesus said to them: “A prophet is only despised in his own country among his own relations and in his own house”. One of the mistakes we easily and often make is to think that what we see is all there is to see; what we know is all that there is to know. We do this about ourselves as well as about those close to us. There is always so much more to know about ourselves and certainly about each other. In marriage and family life, for example, we need to constantly look for and acknowledge the goodness that is there and set it free. Our homes should be places of praise instead of criticism as is so often the case. The same is true in a parish community. There is so much richness in every parish that never gets a chance to come to the surface. This is a week for letting that happen.

Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R
