August 7, 2016 Page Five TODAY'S READINGS First Reading -- Your ancestors waited in faith and courage for God's promised summons (Wisdom 18:6-9). Psalm -- Blessed the people the Lord has chosen to be his own (Psalm 33). Second Reading -- Because of his faithful obedience to God's call, Abraham's descendants number as the stars (Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-19). Gospel -- Keep watch and be prepared, for you do not know the day or the hour when the Son of Man will appear (Luke 12:32-48). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Ez 1:2-5, 24-28c; Ps 148:1-2, 11-14; Mt 17:22-27 Tuesday: Ez 2:8 -- 3:4; Ps 119:14, 24, 72, 103, 111, 131; Mt 18:1-5, 10, 12-14 Wednesday: 2 Cor 9:6-10; Ps 112:1-2, 5-9; Jn 12:24-26 Thursday: Ez 12:1-12; Ps 78:56-59, 61-62: Mt 18:21 -- 19:1 Friday: Ez 16:1-15, 60, 63 or 16:59-63; Is 12:2-3, 4bcd-6; Mt 19:3-12 Saturday: Ez 18:1-10, 13b, 30-32; Ps 51:12-15, 18-19; Mt 19:13-15 Sunday: Jer 38:4-6, 8-10; Ps 40:2-4, 18; Heb 12:1-4; Lk 12:49-53 Faith and hope are closely united in today's readings. The Israelites knew when the Passover was coming, and so were not in fear, but had faith and courage, "putting into effect with one accord the divine institution." In this we can see a foretelling of the Eucharist that we celebrate according to Christ's command, "Do this in memory of me." We see that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, and Jacob died in faith, although they did not see fulfillment of the promise. We live in hope that our faith will be fulfilled every time we celebrate this sacrament. We too are not to be afraid, but to have hope that our faith will be fulfilled in the coming of Christ. FAITH AND HOPE Our faith consists in hoping for what we do not see. For if we knew what was coming, we would not be hoping, but living in knowledge. We hope in Christ for the coming of the reign of God, the restoration of all things good and wonderful, and our promised salvation. All anxiety can be dispelled in the simple words of Jesus, "Do not be afraid any longer, little flock, for your Father is pleased to give you the kingdom." What words could be more encouraging at those times when we wonder if we are being the diligent stewards or the bad stewards of what has been entrusted to us? BAD MANAGEMENT Anyone who has reached the age of work has probably experienced what it is like to work under a bad manager. Perhaps that person just does not know how to encourage productivity in a way that is kind and understanding and not abusive. Perhaps that person is just a bully, causing discouragement and poor morale among workers, so that many quit because they just can't stand it. Perhaps that manager does not know how to manage unproductive and disruptive people in the office, or others who are the office bullies. That steward "begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, to eat and drink and get drunk." But every manager also has a boss. And here Christ is the Master who will come at an unexpected time, and if he finds the manager not working well and unworthy of trust, he will apply appropriate sanctions. Christ will come at a time when we do not know; we place our faith and our hope in his mercy. But when we doubt ourselves we have those words of Jesus, assuring us that the Father has already given us the kingdom. We need not be afraid. We need only be mindful of Christ's mercy, and conduct ourselves in a way that is kind, gentle, and generous to others. We can indeed have hope. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
