Twenty-Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time "Because of the hardness of your hearts he wrote you this commandment. But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female ..." In today's Gospel, Jesus sheds light on the nature of Christian marriage. The Pharisees were trying to trick him, but Jesus transformed their plot into a teachable moment. Speaking of the Mosaic law that allowed a man to divorce his wife, Jesus indicated that this man-made law was not the standard by which marriage should be understood. Instead, he referred back to "the beginning of creation." In the story of Adam and Eve, we see the first human couple living in a state of perfect harmony and bliss with each other and with God. As today's Old Testament reading reveals, Adam was thrilled with Eve. "This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh," he declares with joy and relief. God's original plan for marriage was part of the joyful paradise in Eden. But sin entered the world, and with it came a rupture in the pristine unity of the man and the woman. The tensions between husbands and wives have been problematic ever since. Thus Jesus explains divorce as the result of sin (i. e., "the hardness of your hearts"). But as always, Jesus calls us to transcend the slavery of sin. And more than that, he promises us his own divine help, his grace, and his Spirit to enable us to accomplish what we could not do on our own power. So when he replaces the Mosaic law with his commandment about marriage--"what God has joined together, no human being must separate"--he is calling us to a more beautiful understanding of marriage: one that is blessed by the true marital unity that can transcend the sadness of sin.

Dear God, we see life cheapened every day through abortion and other forms of abuse, through terrorism, and other acts of violence, and through neglect of children, the poor, and the elderly. In a world of plenty, we can forget that there is nothing more precious than human life. Give us the grace to see how we can make a difference, and encourage change in our culture. When we are discouraged, remind us of the Catholic monk Telemachus who stopped the gladiator games with an act of charity. Inspire us with the stories of Mary and other mothers of unexpected pregnancies, who knew that every child is a gift of God's grace and is wanted by you in this world. Encourage conviction in the hearts of those who do not yet know or understand that a desire for choice is no reason to end any life and that you desire that all life come only to a natural end in you. Amen.

Watch for more information in the coming months that will give everyone an opportunity to delve into this fantastic resource. In the meantime, log on and check it out for yourself!!

! As suggested by our Ministry Leaders, each weekend’s bulletin will feature a different ministry of Corpus Christi. This is a wonderful opportunity to learn about what each ministry does and how to get involved. There is certainly something for everyone! See more info about all our ministries, including a Virtual Ministry Fair, at www.corpuschristichurch.net/ministries THIS WEEK: ALTAR LINENS Volunteers for the Altar Linen ministry are responsible for washing the linens, towels, and cloths that are used during Mass. This is not a very time consuming ministry, but one that is important to the liturgies each weekend. If you have a couple hours to give every other month or so, please consider volunteering. Contact Phyllis Raymond: [email protected]
