THE TENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST July
20, 2008
The
Christian life is lived as wheat among the weeds (Gospel). Both the world and
the Church are populated with sinners. The only difference is that Christians
realize they are forgiven sinners and have the hope of better things to come.
It is in this hope that not only we but also the whole creation waits, longs,
and "groans" for deliverance, "the freedom of the glory of the children of God"
(Epistle). This hope comes from faith in Christ whose suffering, death, and
resurrection make our present suffering "not worth comparing with the glory that
is to be revealed to us." The Holy Spirit keeps this hope alive even in the
midst of our groaning. "Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the
morning" (Psalm 30:5).
