22ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUGUST 30 2026 - UNDERSTANDING THE BIGGER PICTURE
Some Christians think that being religious should improve their spirits, bodily health and even good fortune. Some of us have had moments of spiritual clarity and growth. And I am sure that we too felt pretty good about ourselves during those moments. But we also know that life doesn't leave us feeling that way for long. Soon those wonderful spiritual insights will be tested by the day to day experiences that we all share in living out our lives. Even the most devout and active Christians know that being a Christian is never easy for very long.
