25th Sunday Year B Homily

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


The church has been described as a hospital for sinners, where we come to seek healing for the wounds of life and medicine for our health, and wellbeing.

We are bruised by our experience of life. the second reading at Mass today highlights the bruises and the causes of strife, but also points us towards the chief surgeon Christ who heals our wounds and gives us the abilities to heal in return by our forgiveness, our patience, our understanding and our love.

One of the bruises in life is that of pride and thinking ourselves better than others. In the gospel the disciples argue about which of them is the greatest, would that be the strongest, the wisest, the most caring, or patient, or loving even?

Jesus brings out a little child to demonstrate to the disciples that faith is not a competition to see who is better, but faith is an act of trusting in the goodness of Christ to heal, to lead, to bring us to the fullness of life.

We come to the church, the hospital for sinners, to seek out the chief healer who is Christ. We come to receive grace, and we come to give of ourselves in service of Christ, asking what can we do to help alleviate suffering, to contribute to goodness, to enable healing to take hold in our lives and the lives of others?

May our pride not be in ourselves but rather be in Christ, who heals our wounds, and who nurses us back to a full healthy faith.
