SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 THE 25TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
SERVANT OF ALL: SCOTT HAHN REFLECTS ON
THE TWENTY-FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
In today's First Reading, it's like we have our ears pressed to the wall and can hear the murderous grumblings of
the elders, chief priests and scribes - who last week Jesus predicted would torture and kill Him (see Mark 8:31;
10:33-34).
The liturgy invites us to see this passage from the Book of Wisdom as a prophecy of the Lord's Passion. We hear
His enemies complain that "the Just One" has challenged their authority, reproached them for breaking the law of
Moses, for betraying their training as leaders and teachers.
And we hear chilling words that foreshadow how they will mock Him as He hangs on the cross: "For if the Just
One be the Son of God, He will...deliver Him..." (compare Matthew 27:41-43).
Today's Gospel and Psalm give us the flip side of the First Reading. In both, we hear of Jesus' sufferings from His
point of view. Though His enemies surround Him, He offers himself freely in sacrifice, trusting that God will
sustain Him.
But the apostles today don't understand this second announcement of Christ's passion. They begin arguing over
issues of succession -- over who among them is greatest, who will be chosen to lead after Christ is killed.
Again they are thinking not as God, but as human beings (see Mark 8:33). And again Jesus teaches the Twelve --
the chosen leaders of His Church -- that they must lead by imitating His example of love and self-sacrifice. They
must be "servants of all," especially the weak and the helpless - symbolized by the child He embraces and places
in their midst.
This is a lesson for us, too. We must have the mind of Christ, who humbled himself to come among us (see
Philippians 2: 5-11). We must freely offer ourselves, making everything we do a sacrifice in praise of His name.
As James says in today's Epistle, we must seek wisdom from above, desiring humility not glory, and in all things
be gentle and full of mercy.
