Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time<\/h2>\n

The readings this week concern themselves with the tricky subject of relationships and, in particular, relationships between Christians. The passages address the question of how sin and disputes are to be handled in the Church.<\/p>\n

Reading I: Ezekiel 33:7-9<\/h3>\n

Last week we heard from the Prophet Jeremiah. This week we have switched to the Prophet Ezekiel, but continue with the theme of God’s word.<\/p>\n

Thus says the LORD:<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

“You, son of man, I have appointed watchman for the house of Israel;\u00a0when you hear me say anything, you shall warn them for me.\u00a0If I tell the wicked, ‘O wicked one, you shall surely die’ \u00a0and you do not speak out to dissuade the wicked from his way,\u00a0the wicked shall die for his guilt,\u00a0but I will hold you responsible for his death.\u00a0But if you warn the wicked,\u00a0trying to turn him from his way,\u00a0and he refuses to turn from his way,<\/span>\u00a0he shall die for his guilt,\u00a0but you shall save yourself”
