Do your parish ministries complement each other or

do they compete against each other? Is your parish

“one Body of Christ” or a bunch of little, separate

ministries controlled by human ego? The goal of all

parish ministries is to bring people to Christ. All of our

Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time June 3, 2018

GOSPEL MEDITATION ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE

10th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Have you ever felt judged by your family? St. John

Paul II noted that the family "is the cradle of life and

love" (On the Lay Members of Christ's Faithful, 40). Yet

unmet expectations and divergent priorities can cause

tension in even the most loving family situations. This is

true for us, and it was true for Jesus!

In today's Gospel, Jesus has returned home to

Nazareth. A large crowd gathered, and Jesus finds

himself facing stiff opposition from his family. This was

likely Jesus' large, extended family. The Semitic language

has no specific words for extended relatives, so everyone

is "brother" or "sister." The entire clan has gotten wind

of Jesus' preaching, and they are not amused. "They set

out to seize him, for they said, 'He is out of his mind.'"

To make matters worse, the religious authorities even

accuse Jesus of being possessed by a demon. It's a

mess by any standards.

The family's perspective is perhaps understandable.

In Jewish culture, teachers and scribes underwent

intensive schooling and apprenticeships, none of which

Jesus had done. The family knew Jesus the carpenter,

not Jesus the rabbi. For them, Jesus' bold preaching

threatened the reputation of their family!

Jesus' words to his family can seem controversial.

"Who are my mother and my brothers?" Yet Jesus

knows what he is about. He has always known he would

be about the business of his Heavenly Father. And what

is that business? It is the business of the new covenant

and the Kingdom of God. In this Kingdom, we are all

adopted sons and daughters of the King. Jesus begins,

even now, to expand the perspective of his listeners.

Being welcomed into this family does not depend on our

families of birth or ethnic origin, but a wholehearted

commitment to "do the will of God."

LIVE THE LITURGY INSPIRATION FOR THE WEEK

A kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Is the

kingdom of your soul divided? We are often confronted

with choices that appear to be good but in essence are

not. We struggle with choosing good over evil and right

from wrong. Conflicts often exist within, and we walk

through life with a divided heart. We realize what is

needed to live with God but find ourselves doing the

exact opposite. As we gather with our brothers and

sisters and seek God's gift of Christ in the Eucharist,

may we not only be united with one another in faith but

united with God within. All conflicts and divisions can

cease, and we can act with a focused, strong, and

determined heart.

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

I have coached all three of my children in soccer at

some time in their lives. I loved teaching them and their

teammates the importance of functioning as one unit. If

we were not all moving together toward victory, we

would all find ourselves together in defeat. We used to

go through one drill I called the "human foosball." We

would scrimmage with players in lines like on a foosball

table. If you ever got too far behind or too far ahead of

those in your line, play would stop and the ball would go

to the other team. The goal was to help build an

awareness of where your teammates were on the pitch

and to teach the lesson that no one player is a team

onto themselves.

As disciples and stewards, we sometimes find ourselves

far behind or maybe even too far ahead. As a

consequence, our actions either hinder the ability of the

Body of Christ to evangelize and pass on the faith to a

new generation or present the Church as an entity that

sees itself as judgmental or too holy to be in the world.

We are called to community, and in that community, we

must be aware of our brothers and sisters in the faith.

At times, we need to help them grow in their faith.

Other times, we need to slow down and realize that we

cannot change the world on our own. We all have

unique gifts we are called to share, and we can only

bear true witness to the power of the Body of Christ

when we are all moving together and making each other

strong.

- Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

CYCLES OF FAITH CYCLE B

QUESTION OF THE WEEK

In his second letter to the Christians in Corinth, Paul

writes with confidence that as a believer in Christ, he

will be raised with Christ. Are there people in your life

with a similar conviction of faith?
