TWENTY EIGHTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - OCTOBER 13, 2024

Whenever we’re asked to help out with some kind of project, we’re tempted to ask, “What’s in it for me (us)?” Peter asked this very question of Jesus when the disciples were reminded that it was necessary for them to make some kind of sacrifice as part of their work of ministry. 

 

The young man who asks Jesus what he must do in order to inherit eternal life is disappointed with the answer that Jesus gives him. The young man is thinking in worldly terms rather than in spiritual terms. The sacrifices that we make when we minister to others are the giving of our time, talent, and treasure. 

 

The making of these sacrifices demonstrates our care and concern for others along with our willingness to serve others. For when we serve others, we also serve God. The reward that we receive will, most likely, be given to us when God calls us home to be with Him. The depth of that reward is far beyond our human comprehension. Jesus himself once said, “your reward will be great in heaven.” 

~ Fr. Karl
