Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus said: "Why all this
commotion and crying? The child is not dead, but asleep."
But they laughed at him. A lovely feature of
our Catholic tradition is that we can have a good sense
of humour even about the most sacred things. However
what we see in the Gospel today is not humour but ridicule.
And there is a lot of that today about what we hold
sacred. There are a lot of good jokes about the marriage
relationship, for example. But there is also a lot of
ridicule about it today which we should not tolerate.
Young people find it difficult today to admit to going
to Mass because their peers make fun of them for it.
We need to find the ways of encouraging them to keep
going. Our society will tolerate anything but people
who treasure their faith. We need to stand by one another
and let Christ be present as saviour for the world.
