July 17, 2022: 16th Sunday in Ordinary Time

There's something mystical about how God appears to Abraham as three people.  While the hosts in the two stories strive to wait on their divine guests, God ultimately desires to bless them.  Furthermore, we take time to listen and discern how He is directing our lives.

When God makes an appearance, we strive to welcome Him, knowing that He does marvelous work in our lives, just Abraham, Sarah, Martha, and Mary did in the readings for this Sunday.

He invites us into relationship with Him, to truly meditate on the Truths that lead us deeper into the abundant life.

When we are consumed with that Life, we are drawn more deeply into the mystery.  And we live it out through deeds of justice and service inspired by the transformation we experience when we deeply listen to God.  Ultimately, our service is a prayer that reflects Who God is, as we make Him real in the world.
