Reflection – Eight Sunday in Ordinary Time
Any one of you who has ever had anything to do with AA or ALANON will
recognize the saying “one day at a time”. Well Jesus’ take on this is “…do not
worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will bring troubles of its own. Today’s
trouble is enough for today.” Similar advice – given 2000 years ago.
Yet our tendency is to worry and fret and project into the future, usually with
a worse-case scenario. Jesus spends a good deal of time today trying to
convince us that all we need is an attitude of “striving for the kingdom of
God”, and striving to be righteous. These are the things in the last three
Sundays Jesus has been describing to us in his teaching. So today’s readings
are a fitting conclusion to all the things we have talked about in the last few
weeks. Today is the last day of Ordinary Time until after Easter season, and
what we get is a look back at the issues and directives and suggestions that
Jesus has been giving to us. A kind of Cliff notes review.
