Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today's Gospel is one of tension and contradiction. We enter the
scene at the local synagogue. It is near the beginning of Jesus'
earthly ministry, and he has returned home to Nazareth for a short
while. There, in the midst of the men who watched him grow up
and who played with him as a boy in the dusty streets, Jesus
proclaims that he is the fulfillment of the Messianic prophecies of
Isaiah. The response is understandably mixed. "All spoke highly of
him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his
mouth. They also asked, 'Isn't this the son of Joseph?'"
Jesus reminds them - none too gently - of the Israelites' rejection
of the prophets throughout history. Not only did the people ignore
Elijah and Elisha, but they worked miracles among the pagans
instead. Then comes the rage. "They rose up, drove him out of the
town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had
been built, to hurl him down headlong."
No one likes to be reminded of their own faults. In the deeply
religious Jewish society, nobody wanted to be the unfaithful one.
Jesus exposes the sins of the community, and it drives them not to
conversion, but to rage. We can consider our own time. How
often, when someone is contracted, do they quickly resort to
anger, name-calling, and undermining the reputation of the other?
How quickly we want to destroy! This Sunday, we ought to
consider our own lives. Do we listen to the prophetic voices
around us, even when they threaten to upturn our expectations? If
we hear something difficult, something that reminds us of our own
sin, do we accept the opportunity to prayerfully ponder? If we
allow ourselves to be open to the prophetic voices in our own
lives, we'll notice that God speaks through the unexpected, if we
have ears to hear it.

STEWARDSHIP—DOING THE RIGHT THING
What is Stewardship? A steward is defined as a disciple of
Jesus who “receives God’s gifts gratefully, cultivates them
responsibly, shares them lovingly in justice with others and
returns them with increase to the Lord.” In essence, we have
been given many gifts from God, and are asked to care for
them for the next generation.
By giving to the church, we become a part of the purpose for
which it was created: to spread the Good News about
salvation. When we give of our time and talent, we are actively
involved in the Church’s mission. When we give of our wealth,
we empower that mission with our own life.
