Twenty-Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Hebrews 4:12–13
A Sharpened Sword
A good, sharp knife makes work a lot easier.
It cuts meats and vegeta- bles without cutting your hand. It whittles wood, slits envelopes, repairs arteries, trims reeds, and hacks a clear path. A dull
knife won’t do the same thing. A good knife is sharp.
“Sharper than any two-edged sword” is the Word of God. The Letter to the Hebrews uses this image to describe Jesus, the Word of God, as well as his teaching. Hebrews says this Word “is living and effective.” And it has the properties of a sharpened sword: “penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart.” The Word of God does intricate work.
God’s Word knows us through and through. “No creature is concealed.” Like a close friend, the Word of God knows our sins and loves us still.
Like a good doctor, the Word knows what can heal and save us and offers the medicine we need.
If you spend time with God’s Word, you know it is true. By meditating on a passage from the Bible, you find the Word speaking to you in the quiet of your heart. You bring to the Scriptures your de- sires and troubles, and the Scriptures bring in- sight back to you. The Word of God penetrates between your soul and spirit and discerns with you the thoughts of your heart.

The 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal (ACA) provides the funds for the pastoral, educa- tional and charitable ministries of the Dio- cese of Kansas City– St Joseph. This year’s 2022 ACA theme, “To equip the holy ones for the
work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ”Ephesians 4:12, calls us to come together as
people of God to live and share the faith we profess as we carry forth the mission of Jesus Christ. When you receive your Annual Catholic Appeal invitation mailing from Bishop Johnston, please take time to read the information thoroughly, how you can help and give prayerful consideration when contemplating your sacrificial gift to the 2022 Annual Catholic Appeal, “To equip the
holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:12The Knights of Columbus will be handing the 2021 Developmental Disabilities Tootsie Roll Drive this weekend after the 2:30pm, 9:00am, and 11:00am Masses.
