Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time irst Reading: Genesis 2:18-24 The Hebrew tradition perceived the inherent equality between female and male in the sight of God, although this understanding was not fully realized in Israelite society. In this reading from the book of Genesis, God forms a partner out of the man’s very being. Since both man and woman are animated by the breath of God and both are fashioned by God, they are drawn together in unity. econd Reading: Hebrews 2:9-11 For the next seven weeks, our second reading will be taken from the Letter to the Hebrews. It was written by an unknown Christian writer in the last third of the first century and stresses the newness and perfection of the covenant established in Christ. This excerpt teaches that believers are the brothers and sisters of Jesus. ospel: Mark 10:2-16 In this passage from Mark’s Gospel, Jesus cites the book of Genesis in order to highlight the sacredness of marriage. In Jesus’ society, only men could divorce their spouses, and women were often victimized by arbitrary dismissals by their husbands. Jesus insists that those who are married are united in a binding covenant.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two but one flesh." "Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it." Mark 10: 2-16 Here is a reflection I hope you will enjoy. It's without fail: Place a baby in the midst of any group of adults - young or old, scholars or carpenters, artists or accountants, wine connoisseurs or beer drinkers - and every adult in the room will try to make the baby smile. They'll gently shake the baby's hand, they'll make silly faces, they'll smile until their cheeks ache all to make the baby return the smile or maybe even chuckle. And if and when the baby smiles (after a while, even a whispered coo will do), everyone will break into applause and cheers. A child alternates between quiet fascination and chuckles whenever he or she is paying attention to something. What makes sense, what's accepted, produces a smile; anything else is immediately rejected. Something inside of us tells us that if we can make a baby smile, then we're OK. A baby's smiling at us confirms that we are unconditionally loved. A baby's smile is the universe's seal of approval. In a baby's smile, we're connected, across the ages, to that which is good and beautiful - and hopeful. [Adapted from "Laughter and Learning" by Joe Houben, Ode Magazine, August 2009.] A baby's smile - and our determination to elicit such a smile - reflects the point Jesus is making in today's Gospel about "accepting the kingdom of God like a child." Children possess an uncomplicated but genuine, straight-to-the-heart understanding of the things of God that for some reason we adults sadly outgrow. "Child-like faith" is never discouraged, never becomes cynical or jaded, never ceases to be amazed and grateful for the many ways God reveals his presence in our lives. The faith of a child is anything but "childish." It is this "childlike" quality of faith Jesus asks his followers to embrace: faith that does not separate words and actions, faith that is centered in loving God and others without condition or expectation. The power of such simple "child-like" faith is its ability to overcome every rationalization, fear, complication and agenda in order to mirror the selfless generosity of Christ Jesus. Only in embracing child-like kindness, compassion and forgiveness can we attain true greatness in the kingdom of God. (Connections) In Christ’s Peace, Father John Assumption Parish MARRIAGE: A WORK OF GOD Attitudes toward marriage are heavily shaped by the society and the culture in which we live. These attitudes are communicated in the media. People of faith need to step back and take another look at their understanding of the marriage of a man and a woman. Adults: How has my faith shaped my understanding of marriage? Has the portrayal of marriage in the popular culture distorted my faith understanding? How can I correct that? Children: How has God blessed me in my family life? A Family Perspective: Jesus' teaching about divorce and remarriage can be a challenging one for many people. The Church continues to uphold the strong and positive teaching of Jesus that God intends for a man and woman to make a lifelong commitment to one another in the Sacrament of Marriage. Many of us, however, know people whose marriage has not been a lifelong commitment. The example of Jesus teaches us that we are called to act with compassion and love in our relationships with all, and especially when people are hurting because of difficulties in their relationships. Most importantly, we remember that when marriages thrive, it is a sign of God's grace at work. As you gather as a family, talk about what it means to make a promise or a commitment to someone. Offer examples of promises that are fairly easy to keep. Read today's Gospel, Mark 10:2-16. Talk about examples of promises and commitments that might be more difficult to honor, like the marriage commitment that Jesus is asked about in this Gospel. Talk about how we need God to help us honor our commitment to love and care for each other. Jesus teaches that we should be like children before God, trusting God's promise to care for us and asking for his help to keep our commitments to love and care for others.
