Twenty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

​Jesus Christ, the Borrower
The people of the world have known, and still know, their need of a Saviour. When he comes, he comes as one in need.
He is born in a borrowed stable, and learns the trade of a borrowed father. He eats and sleeps in borrowed homes, preaches from borrowed boats, enters a capital city on a borrowed donkey.
He shares his last supper in a borrowed room. Betrayed for borrowed money he is aided with his Cross by a borrowed shoulder. He borrows a home for his mother, and is buried in a borrowed tomb. Risen and alive in power, he is still a borrower: He wishes to borrow you and me.
