Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

REFLECTING ON THE GOSPEL Matt 13: 44-52

Today’s reading gives us the third Sunday in a row where we hear from Matthew’s chapter on parables. Seven parables of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew appear in chapter 13. The setting is in the house, where Jesus continues to teach his disciples using this rhetorical device, often explaining the allegorical meaning to them. Though in today’s reading Jesus asks them a simple question, “Do you understand all these things?” to which the disciples reply, “yes,” of course, those at the liturgy today will only hear those words if the longer gospel reading is proclaimed. This particular gospel reading preserves parables not found anywhere else in the New Testament. These parables either come from Matthew’s special source or they are his own composition. The reading begins with two parables: the treasure buried in the field, and the pearl of great price. Each is a side of the coin so to speak, with Jesus instructing his disciples that the kingdom of heaven is worth such a price. In other words, once one encounters the kingdom of heaven, a proper response is to reprioritize all else in favor of this. It is worthy selling everything to possess this one thing. The longer gospel reading gives one more parable, but it has another point. Rather than rein-force the lesson of the first two parables, the third-the net cast into the sea which brings in a ter-rific catch-has another message. The net is returned with good fish, but also with things that are not so good. The latter is

thrown away. This then becomes the image for the eschatological judgment, a topic that Matthew addressed quite often. At the judgment, some will be not merely cast aside or “thrown away,” but the angels will throw the wicked into the “fiery furnace.” As we saw last week, this is a favorite Matthean theme, and it causes some scholars to posit that the parable is a Matthean creation, though certainly canonical Scripture that is both authoritative and inspired. Matthew is sure to tell us there will be a final, definitive judgment and an unfortunate end is possible based on the decisions we have made. Living Liturgy year A

LIVING THE PASCHAL

MYSTERY The Christian life ought to be a source of joy

for us. Some of this joy is reflected in the first

two parables. In each, people see whatever

they can to take possession of a prized object.

This is what it ought to be like for us with

respect to the kingdom of heaven. Once we

realize what it is, what a prize we have, we

joyfully reorient all of our priorities in light of

it. We want that one prize above all else. And

what’s more, we have it! Thus, the source of

joy. When animated by Christian joy, we may

be shocked at the inevitable suffering and

death that Christ experiences. There is evil in

the world and this evil impinges on our own

reality. It certainly did for Jesus. But that

terrible experience is not the end. Joy and love

triumph as new life spring forth from

humiliation and death. This new life itself is a

cause of joy. And so as Christians our joy is

foundation. It should be a hallmark of our

witness in the world. It is an essential element

of our living the paschal mystery. Living Liturgy A

LIVING THE WORD THIS WEEK Look into parish and diocesan offerings for
