29^th Sunday in Ordinary Time A20

Well, it’s that time of year again – leaves are falling and political signs are springing up like weeds.

Today’s ending sentence in the Gospel^[1] could be used by those who favor a strict separation of Church and State. But the separation is just that; it’s not a divorce. We are citizens of 2 countries, the United States and the Kingdom of God. Do we have a different way of acting and making decisions in each? I hope not. Our faith, if it’s real, genuine and true, must inform how we think and act.

28^th Sunday in Ordinary Time A20

Today’s readings all center on food provided in abundance by God on whom we are totally dependent. This concentration on having more than enough to eat seems out of touch with our society in which, ironically, dieting is a growth industry! How many ads are there which promise a loss of 10 pounds in the 1^st week or an amount of 25, 50, 100 or more if you eat the prescribed foods or undergo surgery? There was a TV show called “The Biggest Loser” that allowed those a “little” overweight to feel comparably good about the paunch or tire around our waist. That is far different from scriptural times when big meals were far and few between, restaurants pretty much non-existent, and no one dreamed of saying “Do you want fries with that”.
