09.01.2022 You know that feeling you have when a teacher asks you a question and you just have literally no clue what the answer is? Yeah?! I know I definitely have. It’s super confusing and distressing because you know that there’s that allusive ‘correct’ answer, but you just don’t know what it is from your own experience. It’s pretty embarrassing and I know in those moments often I despise the teacher for asking me such questions, but I think this experience pretty much sums up why Je...sus is speaking to us through the first reading today. Rather than being a teacher looking to embarrass or humiliate us, Jesus is the teacher who reassures us saying it’s okay that we’re confused and haven’t got it all figured out. The book of Isaiah states for my thoughts are not your thoughts, my ways not your waysas far as the Heavens are high above earth so my ways are above your ways, and my thoughts are above your thoughts. And thank goodness for that!! I don’t know about you but SO often I’m that person with a plan and if anything slightly deviates from that I feel as if my world would crumble. But Jesus is affirming us today that He sees the WHOLE picture, not just our limited view here on earth. While we might see brokenness, mess and a world full of disorder, Jesus sees everything through the lens of eternity. We just need to sometimes change our perspective. That’s why I love in the Gospel today it states that the last shall be first and the first shall be last. This sounds super convoluted to a world which is constantly chasing after the satisfaction of obtaining that first place. Yet Jesus invites us to stop. To stop looking at ourselves and to look outward. To shift our perspective onto the person before us and try to love. It really doesn’t matter whether we’ve known Jesus 10 seconds or 10 years. Like the landowner in today’s Gospel, we’re invited to receive each other wholeheartedly with selfless love imitating Jesus who is so merciful to us even when we screw it up. So let’s take some time today to pray a sincere prayer to Jesus, even if it’s as simple as Jesus, I’m always putting me first, today I choose to see others as you do and put them first. -Mariah See more
