Let’s take a look at some of the themes in the Mass Readings for the 26th Sunday of the Year.
1st Reading – Ezekiel 18:25-28
When a person turns away from virtue to commit iniquity, it leads to death.
When a person turns away from wickedness and does what is right and just, it leads to life.
Psalm – 25:4-9
“Remember your mercies, O Lord.”
God makes known to us the path of life, showing sinners the way and leading the humble to justice.
2nd Reading – Philippians 2:1-11
We are urged to have the same attitude as Christ, who emptied himself and offered his life.
Because of his sacrifice, every knee shall bow in heaven, on earth, and under the earth that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Gospel – Matthew 21:28-32
Jesus offers a parable about a man who has two sons who say and do different things when asked.
The Lord then points out that it is our actions (especially repentance) that reveal our relationship to God and one another.

Jesus chooses to stay with Zacchaeus, a despised tax collector and sinner. May this Scripture give us all hope, for the Lord chooses to stay with us – knowing full well all our sins – that he might seek and save what was lost.

Most of the time we avoid looking at our weaknesses, failures and sins. Not today. Today we take a long hard look, examine our conscience, and honestly admit that we are sinners. Why? So that freed from the slavery of temptation and sin we can receive the grace of God through Jesus Christ.

Fr. Andrew’s Daily Mass Homily Podcast (Thursday of the 31st Week of the Year)
Sometimes we need to be reminded that the Lord welcomes us every time we turn from our sins and seek God’s grace. If there is anything holding us back (you know…fear, doubt, worry, shame, sin, or some other spiritual junk) then perhaps today is our chance to return to the one who loves us completely.
