29th Sunday in Ordinary Time—Year B

18th October 2015

Experiencing our Church in the World of Family:

Reading “THE SIGNS OF OUR TIMES”

Anthony Kain. PP

Pope Francis, when talking with the people at the Synod for boldness in

speech and humility in ears that listen.

He asked them to see the larger context of the method the Synod

was using. This larger context links with that used by the Second Vatican

Council which produced 16 documents. Groups of theologians prepared a

draft of each of them and then these were reflected upon by interventions

of the Bishops towards the final text which was then voted upon. And

within this process the then Pope, Paul V1, said there was a need to read

“the sign of the times.”

Such a process is really asking the Synod to name those experiences

that engage us. Our faith is constant and the unchanging Gospel is at the

heart of the process. Yet how the Gospel is lived out in different cultures

and contexts can vary. Hence we need to listen to others seeking to live

out the message of the Gospel in their context and culture in answer to the

question: Where is God leading us today in family life?

The Synod seeks to hold up the beauty of God’s plan for marriage

and family, the essential grace that comes through Jesus Christ for the life of

each family member. It explores what ongoing accompaniment of families

by the Church is needed. There are issues that the media will emphasize,

and I suggest we need to be slow in accepting media stories that only want

to highlight controversy and their own view of “progressive” versus

“conservative.”

The mandate of the family to be the building block of society has a

supernatural meaning as well. Pope Francis is calling all Catholic families to

be signs, in the sense that a sign points beyond itself. It signifies something

else, something greater than itself. Marriage is an effective and lasting sign.

Our spirituality says that the unity of the spouses is as enduring as God’s

communion with the Church. It is brought about not merely by their

human wills but by an act of God, to which they give their full and free

consent. Every married couple is called to be a living sermon and so,

therefore, is every Catholic family.

So we join in praying for the work of the Synod that together we can

strengthen the vocation and mission of marriage and families. May Catholic

family life will be a sermon to the world of God’s faithful and fruitful love.

Please remember in your prayers ...

terms of the three “P’s” - power, possessions

and pleasure. Jesus teaches a new way to

glory, the way of humble service. Really great

people are those who put themselves at the

service of others.

1st Reading: Isaiah 53:10-11

If he offers his life in atonement, he shall see his

heirs and have long life.

Psalm: 32:4-5, 18-20, 22

Lord, let your mercy be on us, as we place our

trust in you.

2nd Reading: Hebrews 4:14-16

Let us be confident in approaching the throne

of grace.

serve and to give his life as a ransom for all.
