21st Sunday of Ordinary Time

 

It’s a Mystery Rom. 11:33-36



“Colonel Mustard did it in the Conservatory with a revolver!”

Do you remember the board game Clue?
They even made a movie about it because everyone loves a good mystery.

And with every mystery, things are not always evident
And so you have to be like Sherlock Holmes.
And go in search of the answers.

At every Mass we begin by preparing ourselves to enter into “These Sacred Mysteries.”

The early Christians called their Faith, Sacred Mysteries
because it was a mystery !
A Mystery How God became human?
A Mystery Why Jesus had to die on a cross?
A Mystery How Jesus rose from the dead?
And when He will come again?

So Christians have always been searching for answers and meaning to these Sacred Mysteries.

For As God asked Job,
“Were you there when I created the Heavens?
Were you my advisers on where to put the stars and the planets?
Where were you when I carved out the oceans
And built up the mountains?”

The ways of God are unsearchable at times!
His choices and decisions impossible to understand.

There are mysteries Science still cannot explain and our minds cannot understand.
At those times all we have is our Faith!

So We come here every week with Faith.
To delve into the Mysteries of God.
The mysteries of Life and death.
The mysteries of why we do the things we do.

And Jesus offers us the “Clues”
In the Scriptures and the Breaking of the Bread.
For it was in these that He revealed the Mysteries to His disciples.

But we have to search for these Mysteries.
Like a Merchant in search of fine pearls.
Like a woman who searches for lost a coin;
Or a Shepherd who searches for his lost sheep.

For those who ask will be given;
Those who seek will find;
And Those who knock;
The Sacred Mysteries will be revealed.
