Scripture Insights – 15th Sunday in Ordinary Time Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2024: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2023, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 266. The prophet Amos had been a caretaker of sheep and sycamore trees. God plucked him out of Judah and sent him north to Israel. When Amos prophesies judgment against the king and people of Israel for their rebellion against God, the priest Amaziah wants Amos sent back to his homeland, Judah. The psalmist eagerly waits for the proclamation of a different message – one of peace and salvation, where kindness meets truth, where justice and peace embrace. As a whole, Psalm 85 is a prayer for forgiveness and restoration (“Restore us once more, God our savior,” verse 5). The psalmist is confident in God’s steadfast love for Israel (“Near indeed is his salvation for those who fear him,” verse 10). In the Letter to the Ephesians today, the word glory is prominent. Paul repeats the phrase “for the praise of his [God’s] glory” three times with slight variation (“for the praise of the glory of his grace” and “to the praise of his glory”). The apostle Paul proclaims the mystery of God’s will, decided before the foundation of the world, to sum up all things in Christ. The forgiveness promised to Israel in the responsorial psalm is offered to all who believed the Gospel and were thereby adopted into God’s household. The Gospel shows us the Twelve proclaiming the Gospel first to God’s people Israel, that all might repent and participate in God’s salvation through Christ. The disciples are given authority to drive out demons and power to heal bodily sicknesses, showing the wide reach of God’s saving power against evil and death, sin and sickness, all to the praise of the glory of God’s grace.
