Episode 39: Year A – 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time
In this episode of the Sunday Catholic Word, we going to focus on five details found in all the Mass readings for this upcoming 20th Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year A. One detail comes from the first reading, taken from Isaiah 56:1, 6-7. Three come from the second reading, which is taken from Romans 11:13-15, 29-32. The fifth detail comes from the Gospel reading, which is Matthew’s record of Jesus’ exchange with the Canaanite woman who requests that He exorcize her demonically possessed daughter, found in Matthew 15:21-28. There is a host of apologetical topics that relate to these details: penitential deeds, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, God’s goodness, the problem of evil, secondary causality in saving others, and Jesus’ good character.
