14th Sunday After Pentecost 2021
God and His worship is the most important thing on this earth and everything that surrounds Him and the Liturgy are treated with the utmost respect and care. This explains all that we do and why we encourage all to do the same. Today is also the feast of the beheading of St. John the Baptist who perfectly parallels Our Lord in having a miraculous birth, a private and public life and a passion and death. St. Paul’s epistle describes the fruits of the Holy Ghost which are the benefits of those advanced in the spiritual life who achieve virtuous acts with ease. The Gospel is the warning by Christ that we must not compromise with the mammon of the world. This is a particular monitum for parents who instill material instead of supernatural values in their children.
