MESSAGE FROM FR TOM
2/23 - 7TH Sunday in Ordinary Times
Dear Parish Family,
The Gospel passage of this week-end contains some of the ‘tough-call-Christian-attitudes’ that Christ teaches in the background of his ever famous ‘Sermon on the mount’. “Turn the other cheek” command was particularly derided by people who wanted to punch holes into the teachings of Christ as wanting in realism. We need a cultural context to catch the meaning of Jesus' example. In a mainly right-handed world, a slap across the right cheek is back-handed, and in first-century Mediterranean culture, a back-handed slap was meant not so much to inflict physical injury as to dishonor the person slapped. If someone dishonored you with the demeaning back-handed slap, you were expected to reclaim your honor by responding in kind. Thus Jesus' suggestion would, in that context, be a surprising move, indicating that you simply refuse to be dishonored so easily, and refuse to be violent too. -
