Fifteenth Week of Ordinary Time
On the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time we read Mark's version of the call of the Twelve - sending them
out in teams of two with his healing power and his authority over unclean spirits. He told them “to take nothing
for the journey.” God would take care of them.
We begin three weeks of readings from the Book of Exodus continuing the story of God’s faithful deliverance
of the people from slavery in Egypt. This week we read of their plight in Egypt, Moses’ birth and how he became
a part of Pharaoh’s inner circle, Moses’ encounter with God in the burning bush, God’s summons to Moses and
the people, and the story of the Passover up to the time they left Egypt.
The Psalm responses this week are particularly wonderful entries to prayer:
Our help is in the name of the Lord.
Turn to the Lord in your need, and you will live.
The Lord is kind and merciful.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
I will take the cup of salvation, and call on the name of the Lord.
His mercy endures forever.
We follow a powerful part of Matthew’s Gospel all week, with some wonderful messages of Jesus, preparing
us for parables about the Kingdom of God. Jesus does not come to bring simple peace, but to call us to find our
lives by surrendering them to him and his mission. Then Jesus goes to teach and to preach, beginning with
strong words for the towns in which he worked great cures and where the people have not repented. Rather than
being discouraged, Jesus prays to his Father and we have the privilege of overhearing him say that, although t
these things are hidden from those who seemed educated and clever, “you have revealed them to the childlike.”
Jesus invites us to come to him – when we are burdened – and he will give us rest. When the Pharisees go after
his disciples because in their hunger they picked grain on the Sabbath, Jesus challenges them to learn what God
meant by these words from the prophet Hosea, “I desire mercy, not sacrifice.” From that point on, those who
rejected him conspired to kill him.
On the Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time we read from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah that God
himself will shepherd his people and that a descendant of David will rule with wisdom and justice. Mark's
Gospel paints a picture of Jesus trying to gather together his disciples for a rest but the people kept coming to
them: “his heart was moved with pity for them, for they were like sheep without a shepherd; and he began to
teach them many things.”
