TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME YEAR B – 24th / 25th August, 2024

The choices we make determine the character of our union with God who  called us out of the slavery of sin and protected us throughout the journey of our lives. Jesus walked with us through the challenges of life and performed wonders for us. Why should we look elsewhere? The new challenges we face and the new demands placed on us may be so great, or the commitment required of us may be so demanding that we feel that we can no longer walk with him. The church may be changing in ways we do not appreciate, or it may not be changing in the ways we believe it should, and so we may feel that we can walk with him no longer. If we decide to commit ourselves, we will enter into a union with God that is deeper than anything we have previously known. However, this union will be based on  our faith in Jesus which does not come easily or naturally, as it is a grace given by God. We may understand no more than we did in the past, things may be no more to our liking. Jesus is God’s holy one; he has the words of eternal life.
