THIRTEENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
The message of hospitality, begun in the first reading in which Elisha acknowledges his gratitude for the gracious hospitality shown to him by the Shunemite woman, continues through to Jesus’ time and beyond, with the generosity and hospitality shown by women of all ages who supported Jesus and his ministry. Today’s Gospel completes Jesus’ instructions to the twelve before sending them out. It is addressed not just to them but all who would follow as his representative. In Biblical days an agent, or someone who acts on behalf of another, was seen to be the people themselves. Jesus recognizes this concept when he affords great significance to the treatment of those who follow him, explaining that it derives from God himself through Jesus. Prophets, despite not always being comfortable people to be around, must have a very clear understanding of what God wants and have the courage to pass that message on to the people. Scripture is full of incidents where the people reject the messages brought the prophets. Those who welcome the truth of God’s message are disciples, and though the cost of discipleship is often high, the rewards are great – and these rewards shift from the missionaries themselves to those who support and facilitate their mission.
