22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C (2022)

Filed Under: Feasts Holy Days and Seasons

The readings for Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C help us think about the order of things in the Kingdom of God. In the first reading (Sirach 3:17-18, 20, 28-29) we are encouraged to act with humility. The psalm (Psalm 68:4-5, 6-7, 10-11) praises God’s care for those on the margins. In the second reading (Hebrews 12:18-19, 22-24A) Paul speaks of the heavenly Jerusalem, a wondrous place. In the gospel (Luke 14:1, 7-14) Jesus advises that we should not exalt ourselves, but should associate with the poor and under-served.

Do I put myself higher than other or am I willing to raise my brothers and sisters up so that all can experience the Kingdom of God on earth? Here are some ideas:

Christ Has No Body – St. Teresa of Avila
Christ has no body but yours. No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes with which he looks with compassion on this world
Everyone Who Exalts Himself Will Be Humbled
Go and take the lowest place so that when the host comes to you he may say, 'My friend, move up to a higher position.' Then you will enjoy the esteem of your companions at the table. For every one who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
