Br. Andrew Martin del Valle, O.P., offers a reflection on the 2nd Reading for the 24th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
How do we respond when we do not measure up to the life of a disciple? How do we respond when others fail to meet that same measure? We are walking contradictions. We are sinners and yet we have experienced the radical mercy of God. And in this place of tension between sin and mercy is the space for Grace.
