Readings for 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Is 66:10-14. The new Jerusalem is the Church. Her function is to introduce Christ to the
world. She calls out: ‘Come and see the works of God, tremendous his deeds among
men.’ She is like a mother to the nations of the world.
Gal 6:14-18. The new Israel of God are those who follow Christ, not those who make a pretence
of following the old law with its emphasis upon external practices. ‘The world (i.e.
the sinful world) is ‘crucified’ to Paul. It is no longer Paul’s master’; ‘Paul
is crucified to the world’ means that he offers himself with Christ for the world.
Lk 10:1-12, 17-20. The target of Jesus’ missionaries is no less than all the nations
of the world, symbolised by the number 72. He was ‘sending them out like lambs among
wolves.’ Jesus gave them power over ‘the whole strength of the enemy’. They returned
elated with success. But Jesus advised that their joy should be based on their eternal
destiny with God.
Last week’s Sunday collection was €5,005.
