Well, I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and navigated the conversations about our recent presidential election without hitting too many shoals … or running aground altogether. And I hope those of you that partook of Black Friday sales were able to purchase everything you wanted at the price you had anticipated.

Today is the 26th Sunday of our Pentecost season. In the Roman Catholic Church this is called “ordinary time.” Twenty-six weeks … that is half a year in “ordinary time.” However, considering recent events, this “time” is anything but “ordinary.” I find it interesting that our lessons this morning reflect that.
I believe that if our faith … our Church … stands for anything at all, it is to transform the world. The Gospel of Jesus is full of talk of the Kingdom of God … that realm where everything is turned upside down and the values of the world finally coincide with God’s values. But, WE are the Church … you and I. WE are the people of faith that are called to be the agents of this transformation … to turn the world upside down … to bring God’s values to bear on the world here and now.
