Reflection

26TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR A

Theme: Responsibility

1st Reading: Ezekiel, chapter 18: 25 - 28: This scripture underscores the fact that we are fully responsible for whatever happens to us. We cannot blame God or others for the fate that may await us as a result of our own choices.

2nd Reading: Philippians, chapter 2: 1 - 11: St Paul appeals to us to be united in all things, and to show solidarity with each other all the time. We must imitate Christ whose exemplary life earned him God’s ultimate approval.

Gospel Reading: Matthew, chapter 21: 28 - 32: Jesus wants us, especially the self-righteous, to evaluate these two characters in our reading; the hypocrites who would not do as they promise, and the others who change their minds and do the right thing. It is up to us to take a stand.
