Dvadeset i šesta nedjelja kroz godinu (27.9.2026.)

The Diocese of Požega has released reflections for the twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, scheduled for September 27, 2026. The commentary focuses on the first reading from Ezekiel 18, 25–28, which addresses the themes of personal and collective responsibility.

The text notes that the passage describes how a righteous person may die due to unrighteousness if they turn away from their goodness, while a wicked person may live if they turn away from their sins to practice justice. The Diocese highlights how ancient traditions often required individuals to submit to the laws of a clan or patriarch, leaving little room for personal choice or individual conscience. The reflection suggests that while ancient laws were often applied through external observation and objective judgment, the development of personal conscience gradually changed how individuals relate to their communities and traditions.
