14th Sunday in Ordinary Time

RESISTANCE

Resistance – all three readings this Sunday have resistance to the prophet as an underlying theme. Ezekiel is sent to the rebellious house of Israel, people who have rebelled against God. Paul talks about the hardships, persecutions, insults and constraints that he is enduring for spreading the word of Christ. Jesus finds himself without honor among his own kin and is amazed by their lack of faith.

All are resisting the newness, the something different brought to them by the prophet. Yet, while people reject the prophet, the prophet does not reject them. Ezekiel, Paul and Jesus all continue on to do what they are called to do. Each remained faithful despite the difficulties they encountered.

Interesting readings for our cluster parishes as we experience the start of our own “something new.” We are, in a sense, living in a prophetic time – a time that calls for change, for more collaboration, for a strong unity of purpose based on the gospel message.

So the question for each of us is this: am I resisting change, fighting it, complaining about it, causing damage and hardship by constraining or insulting? Or am I giving myself over to the possibility of new life; am I being faithful to the gospel message of love and mercy despite the difficulties I may encounter?

When Jesus met resistance he was constrained, couldn’t perform mighty deeds. But where he met faithful, welcoming people nothing was impossible. May God help us to be a faithful and welcoming people who are open to the something new that God is creating.
