16th Sunday After Pentecost 2021
Today also commemorates the feast of the Holy Name of Mary which was moved to September 12th because of the miraculous victory of the Christians in saving Europe from the Turks in 1683. Invoking Our Lady’s name is a powerful aid to our spiritual combat as well. Today’s Mass begins with a reminder of the importance of prayer in obtaining God’s assistance. Without God we cannot be saved. The Epistle is a call to holiness, prayer and charity. Does not the countless number of children saints show we all can be saints too? The Gospel teaches a wise lesson that has eternal implications as well. Love will lead us to humility and together assure us of being exalted with a higher place in heaven.
