Saint AUGUSTINE, Bishop, Doctor, Memorial
Introduction
Some need half of a lifetime to discover that they were wrong – or perhaps to have the courage to be honest enough with themselves and to face God and themselves. Like Augustine. His was a restless heart, he was a seeker. Once he had found this courage and his rest in God, he reflected deeply on his faith.

Aug 26-31: Weekday Reflections
Aug 26 Monday: Mt 23:13-22: 13 “But
woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you shut the kingdom of
heaven against men; for you neither enter yourselves, nor allow those who would
enter to go in. 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you
traverse sea and land to make a single proselyte, and when he becomes a
proselyte, you make him twice as much a child of hell as yourselves. 16
“Woe to you, blind guides, who say,
21 Sunday C: Universality of Salvation
The universality of salvation is the message from all the readings on this day. Salvation does not belong to any special race or culture but to those who accept Christ. It is the desire of God that all should be saved. Some who are regarded as last will be saved while the first called may be last.
Aug 19-24: 20th Week - Weekday Homilies
Aug 19 Monday (Saint John Eudes, Priest): Mt
19:16-22: 16 And behold, one came up to him, saying, “Teacher,
what good deed must I do, to have eternal life?” 17 And he said to him, “Why do
you ask me about what is good? One there is who is good. If you would enter
life, keep the commandments.” 18 He said to him, “Which?” And Jesus said, “You
shall not kill, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall
not bear false witness, 19 Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.” 20 The young man said to him, “All these I have
observed; what do I still lack?” 21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be
perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have
treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he
went away sorrowful; for he had great possessions.

General Textual comments
The gospel passage for this Sunday is in three sections
– verse 49;
– verse 50;
– and verses 51 to 53.
– verse 49;
– verse 50;
– and verses 51 to 53.
As I have often recommended, you should meditate on one section at a time. But you will find that in this passage the three sections complement one another; if taken together, they correct any false interpretations which could arise if they were read separately. Think of them, therefore, as parts of a beautifully constructed building in which each part is appreciated in relation to the whole.
