Today, on this Fourteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, we read an extremely important passage from St. Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians. Paul writes:
“Therefore, that I might not become too elated, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, an angel of Satan, to beat me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I begged the Lord about this, that it might leave me, but he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.’ I will rather boast most gladly of my weaknesses, in order that the power of Christ may dwell with me. Therefore, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and constraints, for the sake of Christ; for when I am weak, then I am strong” (2 Cor 12: 7-10).
Like Paul, all of us have “thorns” of one kind or another with which to deal. The good news is that God’s help, known as “grace,” is always with us. For that, we should always be thankful.
