33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
Originally delivered on November 15, 1987
Readings: Ezekial 34:11-12, 15-17; Corinthians 15:20-26, 28; Matthew 25: 31-46
We are reminded that the Scriptures are written in a cultural context and that we must look through this context and look for the deeper meaning. In the first reading from Ezekial, we are challenged to reach out to the poor and give what we can. In the Gospel, we are told that we should use our unique gifts to help serve God to advance the spirit and the purpose of the Gospel. We are urged to make those actions now, not to wait.
