HUMILITY Humility is a virtue we don’t see much in our times. It seems that bragging, swaggering, and arrogance dominate our fashion for everything and our Internet conversations.

Who hasn’t been irritated by the “trolls” who try (usually with bad grammar and poor spelling) to start an online fight with those whose opin-ions do not align with theirs? Our stores, catalogs, and online shopping sites are full of useless items geared in use and price to the very

rich, as ordinary, useful things seem to fade off the sales scene. As the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class is fading away. What is the antidote to this? Humility is a good place to start. Devotion to God is worth more than riches. “The father of orphans and the defender of widows is God in his holy dwelling. God gives a home to the forsaken; [God] leads forth prisoners to prosperity.” Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time September 1, 2019

You have approached Mount Zion and the city of the living God.

— Hebrews 12:22a

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS

The readings today center on mindfulness, awareness of where we stand in God’s plan. The mountain of Sinai carries a mes-sage of the majesty and distance of God, while Jesus’ presence as host of the banquet speaks of intimacy and mystery. Septem-

ber’s shadow calls us all to mindfulness as we prepare to return to life outside of sum-mer. In the accounts of the Passion we see the table of the upper room in balance with the Mount of Olives. Altar means “high place,” yet it is also a table. The for-mer liturgy of the Latin Rite began with the priest bowing at the foot of the altar’s three

steps, chanting Introibo ad altare Dei, or “I will go to the altar of God,” followed by the altar servers’ response, “The God who gives joy to my youth.” As with so many things in liturgy, there are layers of meaning in our worship. The altar table evokes memories of the high places once reserved for encoun-ter with the holy, and the intimacy of the table where hospital-ity draws us to share food and drink.-James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRIDE The proud hate pride—in others.
