3 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 10, 2019 Reflecting on God s Word We are all familiar with the story of The Wizard of Oz. There s Dorothy, who wants to get back to Kansas. There s the Cowardly Lion, who s looking for courage. There s the Scarecrow, who s looking for a brain because some crow told him he was stupid and he believed it. And there s the Tin Woodsman, who s trying to find a heart in order to demonstrate some sensitivity. They all go to see the Wizard, who proves to be a fraud. But as the story unfolds, you discover who s the most courageous one in the group. It s the Lion called cowardly. Who thinks up the best ideas? It s the Scarecrow who supposedly has no brain. Who is it that shows the most compassion? It s the heartless Tin Woodsman. And Dorothy? She s never left Kansas at all; it s only a dream. They come to realize that only after the Wizard of Oz calls it to their attention. Many people do not realize how gifted and talented they really are. Many ordinary individuals do not know that there s a giant hidden within them. What s needed are Wizards to call it to their attention. Rev. Richard Zajac Copyright 2012, World Library Publications.
