SAINT ANNE - SAINT PATRICK PARISH
OCTOBER 21, 2018
TWENTY-NINTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Through his suffering, my servant shall justify many.
— Isaiah 53:11
STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE 2018-19
TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
There is a common expression: “Too much infor-
mation!” We usually use it when people tell us details about
their lives that we don’t want or need to know. Today, when
James and John ask Jesus a simple question, making their
request for places of honor in the kingdom, a simple answer
might have been in order. Instead, as he often does, Jesus
answers a question with a question; today it’s about drinking
the cup of suffering. Then, once the others are indignant over
James and John’s outrageous request, he proceeds to give
them what may have been “too much information” for fol-
lowers who were simply interested in the pursuit of glory.
But this information, though it can sometimes seem “too
much” for us, is essential for our lives as disciples. In Isaiah,
in Hebrews, and in Mark today, we learn this information. It
is in suffering, in weakness, in self-giving service to others,
that we come to understand the kingdom. It is the infor-
mation we need to find our place and come to be honored in
the reign of God.
