Tilka Planning to Marry? The Diocese requires that couples begin preparing for their marriage in the church at least six months prior to their wedding date. Couples must contact Father Ed to get started Gospel Reflection September 30, th Sunday in Ordinary Time Nm 11:25 29; Ps 19:8, 10, 12 13, 14 Jas 5:1 6; Mk 9:38 43, 45, The Book of Numbers, narrating Israel's time in the wilderness after receiving the Commandments, tells us that God took some of the "spirit that was on Moses" and "bestowed it on the seventy elders". Two of those selected to receive the spirit are not at the Tent of Meeting, yet they too receive the spirit and also prophesy. Joshua becomes upset at this, but Moses corrects him. The fact that they too are prophesying (singing God's praises) is something Moses wishes would happen to all the people. The elders are selected to support Moses in his work, and the spirit will enable them to do it effectively. This story shows us that God is not constrained by human limitations. In an echo of one of Luke's "woes" (6:24 26, paired with his Beatitudes), James calls the rich to "weep and wail over your impending miseries". The things of this world are transitory. These rich persons, who have made their wealth on the backs of others, will face God's judgment. Like Jesus, our author does not condemn all the rich, only those who are greedy and exploit others. Like the rich fool (Lk 12:16 21), they depend on their own wealth, rather than on the gracious mercy of God, to save them. Withholding wages from their workers, they have grown rich in the things of the world, but their wealth "will devour [their] flesh like a fire" on the day of judgment. Like Joshua in the story from Numbers, the apostle John in the Gospel story is upset because someone who is not among their number is "driving out demons in [Jesus's] name". Jesus chastises John for not realizing that "whoever is not against us is for us". His saying about cutting off one's hand reminds us that admittance to the reign of God is worth whatever sacrifice we are called to make. For Reflection: We all have different gifts; am I grateful for my own or jealous of the gifts of others? Do I depend more on God's riches or on the things of this world?
