at the Border Town Parishes November 24, 2024

Celebrated at St. Patrick's Church

119 N. Market Street

Momence, IL  60954

To end this Season of Ordinary Time and the last Sunday of the Liturgical Year, we return to the gospel of John and the story of Jesus' Presentation before Pilate (Jn 18: 33b-37). In this text, Jesus laments that he is not of this world and that the people of this world did not support him (Jn 18: 36), This passage highlights one of the major themes of the Gospel of Mark - the "insiders" who knew Jesus did not support him. In a sense, we are the "outsiders" who know the end of the story but, in many ways, we have become "insiders" who often do not embrace the gospel message, which we already know. Fr. Pete's homily today challenges all of us (including Fr. Pete!) to acknowledge our weakness without Christ, to embrace the message and then bravely go forward to preach this message to a world that most likely will reject it.
