Weekly Message from Deacon Rob on the Readings for Ordinary Time

With politics on the rise, it is not unusual

to hear about fundraising dinners where it

costs thousands of dollars for a place at

the table with a famous person. This is not

unusual. The concept that a person is

known by the company they keep has

been ingrained within the human spirit for

ions. In ancient times, a singular method of

rising in class status was to dine with the

rich and famous. The alliances that were

formed around the table would determine

any chance for class change. Thus, to hold

a banquet and get seated next to a famous

or rich personage was the ideal situation.

In today’s Liturgy of Word, Jesus informs us that in the

Kingdom of God just the opposite is true. The Christ

reveals that in God’s eyes the lowly and humble shall be

exalted and the rich humbled. In fact, the only way to

guarantee a heavenly reward was to humbly associate

oneself with those in need.

In the first reading from the Book of Sirach, the teacher,

Jesus Ben Sira, advises people to become virtuous

through humility and service to others. This precursor to

Christ establishes the foundation for pleasing God –

humility. Instead of following the worldly custom of class

advancement through using your resources for self-

aggrandizement, Ben Sira advises all to place God first

and give alms to the poor. Through this method, the God

of All will be pleased and sins atoned. It is this teacher’s

belief that by humbly putting God and others before

yourself is the one true way that true wisdom is

discovered and human growth takes place.

For the early Christians, the epitome of true Wisdom is

Jesus. Christ, being fully human and Divine, exemplifies

the path for His followers. He associated Himself with the

lowly and ministered to the poor. He endured His

sufferings out of love of the Father and His neighbor. In

the Letters to the Hebrews, the past and present are

merged with examples of how God is revealed to His

People. In pre-messianic times, the Holy was approached

with trepidation and awe. Now, through Christ, Christians

could approach the Divine with confidence due to their

incorporation and adoption as sons

and daughters of God through Jesus,

the perfect mediator. Now, the new

“Chosen People” could access Mount

Zion and the New Jerusalem because

Jesus, Himself, brought all to the

Father.

The means to access the Heavenly

Banquet is the theme of today’s Gospel

according to Luke. Jesus has been

invited to a banquet sponsored by a

Pharisee. He has noticed that people

are playing the social game by

attempting to get seated in the places

of honor. Frustrated with witnessing this human fault,

Christ has two messages – one for the guests and one for

the host. Jesus tells the guest that it would be better for

them to seek the lowest place because the host would

come and move you publicly to a higher station. Thus,

you would be exalted before all. Then, more poignantly,

Christ advises the Pharisee that, in the eyes of God, it

would be more beneficial for him not to invite the rich

and famous to a banquet; rather, an invitation to the

poor and needy would garner him far greater rewards at

the Resurrection of the righteous.

Holy Mother the Church reminds us, today, of that same

lesson. In our world where the rich and famous continue

this ancient practice where social advancement is still

accomplished through self-aggrandizement and social

contacts, Christ’s message echoes through the centuries.

In the eyes of God, it is poor, needy and marginalized

that are our way to the Resurrection of the righteous.

The mammon of this world is here solely for our benefit

to use as tools in showering God’s love on our fellow

man. God made us in His image and showed us, through

Christ, what true sacrifice looked like. Just as Jesus came

“to serve. Not to be served” so, too, our reason for

existence is the same. As we await the Final Judgement

and the end of the Church year, this passage of Luke

should echo in our minds and cause us to put our

priorities in order so that we can enter the Kingdom of

God and partake in the Eternal Banquet.
