THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME NOVEMBER 8, 2020 Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time November 8, 2020
AN ACT OF THE WILL Reflection on Matthew 25:1-13 WEEKLY SCRIPTURE The Christian vocation, our discipleship in Christ, by its very nature makes us deeply Sunday, November 8 connected to and lovingly responsible for each other. Loving my neighbor compels Thirty-second Sunday in me to share my oil with her if her lamp is growing dim. Ordinary Time There is, however, a gift that even my most ardent loving cannot give to another Wis 6:12-16 person: the fundamental willingness, the free choice, to accept, embrace, and incline Ps 63:2, 3-4, 5-6, 7-8 one’s heart and life toward Jesus as Lord and Savior. We are created with a free will, 1 Thes 4:13-18 or 4:13-14 and must exercise that freedom to receive the gift of faith, or to reject it. We certainly Mt 25:1-13 assist each other in this task through the power of prayer (think of St. Monica and St. Monday, November 9 Augustine), but there is for certain an act of the will that must be made in a singular Feast of the Dedication of the way by each of us. Lateran Basilica in Rome This seems to be a truth that this parable is addressing, especially given the Ez 47:1-2, 8-9, 12 apocalyptic reference at the end: “Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the Ps 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9 day nor the hour.” There will be a conclusion to this journey, this earthly pilgrimage, 1 Cor 3:9c-11, 16-17 for each of us, and we know not when it may be. What choice have we made? Is our Jn 2:13-22 life of faith preparing us for this conclusion? Will our Lord know us, and open the Tuesday, November 10 Memorial of Saint Leo the Great, weeks of this liturgical year. Pope and Doctor of the Church door for us?
