THE SIN OF OMISSION AGAINST CHARITY: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTION: 26TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, CYCLE C, 2022
The main theme of this Sunday´s readings is the warning of the sin of omission against charity. It is a warning that the selfish blindness to the needy and extravagant use of God’s blessings. A reminder that our wealth, time, energy, talents and personal qualities like words, smiles, and sense of humour are to help the poor, the depressed, the troubled, and the needy. The act of omission is a serious sin that deserves eternal punishment. Today’s readings stress the truth that wealth without active mercy for the poor is great wickedness.
