13th Week of Ordinary Time C – Monday
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in today’s Holy Mass we are invited to contemplate two towering figures in salvation history: Abraham, our father in faith, and Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God. Both stand before us in today’s readings—one pleading for mercy, the other commanding absolute discipleship. Abraham is the friend of God; Jesus is God Himself. Their contrast reveals not only the greatness of Abraham’s faith, but even more, the infinite dignity and divine authority of Christ, before whom even Abraham must bow.
