FIRST READING: Jeremiah 20:10–13 TWELFTH SUNDAY IN RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Psalm 69:8–10, 14, 17, 33–35 ORDINARY TIME SECOND READING: Romans 5:12–15 GOSPEL: Matthew 10:26–33
SOS
Three dots, three dashes, three dots: SOS, the international code signaling distress. By common understanding, we translate SOS into an abbreviation for the words, “save our souls.” Ironically, the distress signal is for saving bod- ies, but there you have it. Today, Jesus talks about saving one’s soul, one’s very self. This is God’s great concern.
╬ Comment
Jeremiah was not easily intimidated. His prophetic vocation was as difficult as it was unambiguous: “To root up and to tear down, to destroy and to demolish, to build and to plant” (Jeremiah 1:10). Jeremiah prophesied before the sixth- century exile. He warned Judah that its apostasy and infidelity would bring it down, as indeed it did. His warnings, though they came to pass, were no way to win friends and influence people—from the faithless king on down to the lowliest resident of Judah.
The book of Jeremiah contains five confessional pieces that have the look and feel of diary entries. We read one of these entries today. We sympathize with Jeremiah’s inner struggles as he seeks to be faithful to his hard, hard prophetic voca- tion. He vents his grief over his feckless friends who now set out to entrap him. Then he considers God who champions his cause, even though God seems far off at the moment. Finally, Jeremiah stops turning the issue over in his mind and directs his attention to God. Jeremiah is none too kindly disposed toward his enemies, even in his prayer. He wishes the worst for them, and trusts God will care for the poor, among which Jeremiah most certainly places himself. His diary closes, his soul intact, his life in God’s hands.
Keeping Jeremiah in mind, we turn to the Gospel for the day. For Jesus, talk is not cheap. He does not speak from a safe place. He does not smugly remind us of the supreme value of the human spirit. He knows whereof he speaks. The Gos- pels are good news. They were written after Jesus suffered the loss of life through his crucifixion. But he possessed his soul. He commended his spirit to God’s keeping. His death defeated death itself, but it was still a painful death—a thing to be shrunk from.
╬ Reflection
After Jesus’ resurrection, the apostles remembered well these words of Jesus. They and the small, beleaguered flock that constituted the early Church recalled the words of the crucified and risen Jesus. Doubtless, these followers had been hu- miliated, shunned, ridiculed, excluded. They knew only too well the cost and price of martyrdom.
Like all people who must stand alone and choose their faith, they knew hard-edged, debilitating fear. But they overcame that fear. They proclaimed the message, witnessed to their faith, chose. In some cases, their choices cost them their lives. But they died as they had lived. They were people of integrity and faith. They preserved their soul. They could do this because they leaned mightily on Jesus and on his Father, who knows who we are and where we are—who knows, in fact, the number of hairs on our young and aging heads.
