27th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“Let the children come to me; do not prevent them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

Amen, I say to you, whoever does not accept the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.”

We pray that every baptized person may be engaged in evangelization, available to the mission, by being witnesses of a life that has the flavour of the Gospel.

Dr. Timothy O'Malley - A Difficult Obedience: Today’s Gospel consists of a surprising contrast. Jesus first provides teaching about divorce, then he tells the same crowd that they must accept the kingdom of God as little children. What is the relationship between these two moments? As we see in Genesis, Christ’s teaching about the impossibility of divorce is grounded in the original sacramentality of marriage. read more...

Dr. Scott Hahn - What God Has Joined: In today’s Gospel, the Pharisees try to trap Jesus with a trick question. The “lawfulness” of divorce in Israel was never an issue. Moses had long ago allowed it. But Jesus points His enemies back before Moses, to “the beginning,” interpreting the text we hear in today’s First Reading. read more...
