- Joint Parish Mission Statement
TWENTY-SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SEPTEMBER 26, 2021
Spreading the Goodness
It is a principle of Catholic philosophy that “the good is diffusive of itself.” Oak trees give acorns, flowers give their fragrance. Goodness spreads. It is meant to. God, who is good, does not want to hide from view and turn in on himself like a selfish recluse. He wants to give
himself, to spread his goodness around, to get involved in our lives. When the spirit of God gets out of the normal frame of reference—in Joshua’s case, the tent of meeting—then all of the sudden, God becomes unpredictable. He upends Joshua’s expectations by showing up in the camp, so we shouldn’t be surprised if he does unpredictable things in our lives. We might find him in places we don’t think he belongs.
Keeping God in a Box
This is where this passage can hit home. On the one hand, we can “keep God in a box” by limiting him to a certain time and a certain place—usually an hour on Sunday. That can be our God-box where we meet with him, but if he intervenes in some other area of our life, at an unexpected time, we can be shocked, put off, even angry. Yet God wants to be present in our whole life, not just in a given time or place. He wants to “diffuse” his goodness in every area. We can also keep God in a box by trying to restrict who has access to him or whom he has access to.
When we discover him, we can want to hog him for ourselves, but God cannot be confined by our petty-minded selfishness. He is free to reach anyone whom he wants to reach. If we are open to being a conduit of his grace rather than a log-jam, some great things can happen.
Letting God out of the boxes we put him in might just let us experience some of the grace that those ancient Israelite elders did and start to fulfill Moses’ sighing wish, “Would that all the Lord’s people were prophets!”
