Our Old Testament reading for today is well known to us – likely one we have heard since childhood. Moses, who is tending his father-in-law’s flock at the base of Mount Horeb, may be looking for distractions to while away the time when he sees a bush in flames just off the path. What is remarkable is not the burning bush itself but its staying power. The bush is not consumed. As many of us would, Moses decides to check it out. Moses’ openness becomes God’s cue to call out to him, indeed, to summon him far beyond what he believes himself capable of. Notice that when God calls him by name, Moses responds simply, “Here I am.” In Hebrew, this is just one word, hinneni. It is how Abraham responded to God at the ultimate test of his faith (Gn 22) and how many prophets after him also will respond to their call. Once God alerts Moses to the holy ground and identifies himself in the covenantal tradition of Moses’ ancestors, Moses lowers his face in fear but remains. Much staying power will be required of him as well in the coming years. God then reveals his intentions to bring the Israelites out of oppression in Egypt into this very wilderness where they will worship God in freedom. Moses is God’s chosen prophet and leader. This scene culminates when, at Moses’ request, God further reveals the divine name, YHWH, a form of the verb “to be.” God is the essence of being, the “I AM,” a name so sacred that it should not be uttered. Our reverence is indicated in the address, “Lord.”

This week’s readings include Luke’s narration of the transfiguration of Jesus into his full glory. As breathtaking as this episode is, the verse that I find most striking in today’s readings contains Paul’s description of those he calls “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Phil 3:18). In the Letter to the Philippians, he claims, “Their God is their stomach” (3:19). Is there a more poignant way of illustrating the insatiability of greed in many parts of the Western twenty-first-century world? Paul urges the Philippians and us to seek our identity and destination in Christ. The apostle calls us to live like Jesus, a model of simplicity and generosity (the opposite of greed) for which he himself strives. Luke’s Gospel blesses us with Peter, James, and John’s glimpse of the true nature of Jesus, the Christ and Son of God. He clarifies, however, that this is not where we remain. Truth may be revealed to us on the mountain, but we cannot stay there. Our vocation is with our people – humankind – who need us as we need each other. Our call is to “listen to him” (9:36) and bring this revelatory truth into the grass roots. We need the glory of God in Christ, and the Triune God asks that we listen to the One who appeared in glory. The faithful beauty of this summons is grounded in God’s call of Abraham, our father and model of faith, to covenant relationship. We must be open to God’s plan for us at every moment of our lives. Abraham was called to leave all he knew to follow God. The generational benefits of that new relationship are only beginning to be manifested.

Today’s readings remind us of who we are and from where we came. We are the people of God, and we are called always to live as such, even when the evidence from our current social, political, and economic situations would suggest otherwise. God, we are reminded, knows his people, remembers his people, and has a plan for our salvation. Most important, all of this may well be beyond our ken. And that should rather comfort us, not dissuade or create anxiety in us. Luke’s Gospel narrates his understanding of Jesus’ temptations prior to his public ministry. Jesus refuses the easy route; rather, he lets go and trusts in God. Notice that he falls back on his traditional grounding in response. This doesn’t mean he is unthinking. He reflects, he discerns, and he asks what would God have him do.
· Power is a theme today – a power that liberates, a power that provides, a power that hears the cry of the oppressed, a power that rejects opportunities for abuse. How do each of us wield our individual power within our families, neighborhoods, country and world? What do we look for when choosing leaders?

Season of Lent – Lent is the yearly celebration by the church of its corporate conversion in Jesus Christ. During Lent, the liturgy prepares catechumens to celebrate the Paschal Mystery by the various stages of Christian Initiation. It also prepares the faithful for Easter as they recall their Baptism and do penance in preparation for the greatest Feast of the year. Lent has two major purposes: It recalls or prepares for Baptism, and emphasizes a spirit of penance. Through forty days of closer attention to God’s Word and of more fervent prayer, believers are prepared to celebrate the Paschal Mystery. Lenten instructions stress these baptismal and penitential themes. During Lent, it is important to teach the social consequences of sin as well as the fact that the heart of the virtue of penance is hatred of sin as an offence against God. The church encourages penitential practices that are external and social, reflecting the circumstances of individuals and communities, as we pray and so penance for sinners. Taken from Ordo page 81 World Day of Prayer – March 7 – The World Day of Prayer is observed annually on the first Friday in March. It is an invitation for Christians to pause and pray together ecumenically. This recalls our Christian responsibility to be sensitive to the signs of the times so that we might bring a more authentically Christian dimension to the concerns of our world, our country, our community. Sponsored by the Women’s Inter-church Council of Canada and its national counterparts around the world, it is celebrated in approximately 165 countries.

The passage from Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians contains the heart of today’s readings. Across the fifteenth chapter of this letter, Paul teaches the Gospel he has received (I Cor 15:3), which leads him to take on the challenge that death poses to this good news. The one living by faith is invulnerable to the power of death. He asks, “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” (15:55). He answers that it is found only in sin, for which Christ has atoned. Paul is, therefore, uncompromising that, through God’s plan, Jesus Christ has taken on death and beaten it. Christ’s work is not the end of the plan. Paul instructs that we are continuously to take part in the relationship with God, “always fully devoted to the work of the Lord” (15:58). Today’s Gospel reading is from Luke’s narration of Jesus’ sermon on the plain and reads a lot like Jewish wisdom literature. Jesus presents a series of pithy remarks on practical ways to participate in the work of the Lord. From these teachings, we question whether the blind (read: uninformed) can lead others, and we are challenged to self-reflection and discernment before we call out others’ weaknesses. Jesus also assures us that fullness of heart must be the locus of our treatment of others. Jesus calls on his Jewish scriptural tradition for such teachings, and the verses from Sirach punctuate this wisdom. In the biblical tradition, there is no more powerful challenge to think before speaking. Our speech, says Sirach, is the primary testament to our integrity and concern for justice.

Today’s readings are, on the one hand, about the faithfulness and mercy of God and, on the other, about sin, atonement, and human interactivity. Throughout history, God has consistently shown compassionate understanding as a model Father to his children. The key here is the familial relationship that endures highs and lows, rights and wrongs. The biblical writings consistently characterize this relationship as one of covenant, a dynamic commitment of promises and obligations that, if allowed to do so, can grow and develop over time into an eternal union. David shows his trust in God to thwart his opponents and to invoke justice. This trust brings about God’s plan for David and all God’s people. Jesus illustrates such trust in God as he summons us to “do to others as you would have them do to you” (Lk 6:31) despite what they may actually do. Jesus is not calling us to be doormats trodden upon by all who might take advantage. By contrast, if we find our center and fundamental value in God and our creation in God’s image and likeness, such pain can be properly situated. Our true selves will not be altered or hurt by it. We can make decisions, holding ourselves and others accountable and doing the right thing, all while remaining in right relationship with God through Christ and refusing vengeance or petty grievance. Paul reflects theologically on this call to covenant relationship and just action. He articulates God’s plan as it has been from the beginning. Humankind is composed of both nature and spirit. Paul challenges us to live the natural into the spiritual, to rise above the fray and be who God truly calls us to be.

Scripture Insights – Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 90. This Sunday’s Old Testament readings present a strong – even harsh – contrast between putting our trust in God and in other people. Neither the prophet nor the psalmist, however, intends that we not seek relationship with those around us. At stake here are how we ground ourselves, understand our value, and find our truth. If we look to God, in whose image and likeness we are made, for our authority and authenticity, we will be able to turn outward in solidarity with others. Luke’s Gospel presents Jesus’ teaching on the kingdom of God. What we find across these “blessings” and “woes” are reversals that challenge what society often dictates to be status or success. By contrast, Jesus teaches that those who live in humility and find their authentic selves in this life apart from social conventions – namely, in right relationship with God and others – will know true union with God, both in this life and in the next. The opposite, of course, is also true. If we seek affirmation and authenticity only in fleeting desires and satisfactions, we will have little foundation on which to stand in relationship to God. Paul takes the next step by teaching that, on our behalf, Christ took on death and beat it. Further, this victory is only the firstfruits. Just as Christ died and was resurrected to eternal union with God, so shall all those who “belong” to Christ. Our hope must lie here. We are to live as if God is our king, and this process of believing and acting will bring about that kingdom. This, in turn, prepares the way for the eternal kingdom and living eternally in union with our Creator.

Today’s readings are crucial for understanding the good news of the Christ event. We begin with Isaiah’s vision of God’s throne room that results in his call to be God’s spokesperson. We move to the psalmist’s unwavering faith in God who protects him even when he speaks uncomfortable truth to power. This leads to Luke’s narration of the call of the first disciples and Paul’s primal creed of the good news. Unlike our disinclined Jeremiah from last week, Isaiah calls out, “Here I am … send me!” (Is 6:8). He becomes the model for future prophets and disciples. Jesus, in Luke’s Gospel, is teaching by the sea and revealing the Word of God. In the midst of manifesting God’s prophetic activity, he encounters those who will be his disciples. Simon Peter, James, and John all enter into relationship with Jesus based on his word and deed. They eventually become prophets and apostles in their own rights, but now they are just beginning.

Bishop’s Annual Appeal – Thank you to everyone who generously supported the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. The Annual Appeal goal for Our Lady of Peace is $16,392.00 and for St. Jude’s Parish is $1823.00. As of Jan. 22 our parish has 50 pledges for $17370.00 and Green Lake has 1 pledge for $600.00. The diocese has received 1245 pledges for $488850.48. Today’s Feast – Obedient to the Law of Moses, Mary and Joseph take Jesus to the temple forty days after his birth. While at the temple, the Holy Family meet Simeon and Anna, two faithful Jews awaiting the revelation of the Messiah. In words heard in the Gospel of the day and prayed each night as part of the Liturgy of the Hours, the prophet Simeon declares that Jesus is a “light of revelation to the nations and the glory of God’s people, Israel” (Lk 2:32). For this reason, on this day the Church traditionally blesses the candles used both in the liturgy and in Christian homes, reminding us that Christ is the light of the world. World Day for Consecrated Life – February 2 – The purpose of the day is “to help the entire Church to esteem ever more greatly the witness of those persons who have chosen to follow Christ by means of the practice of the evangelical counsels” as well as “to be a suitable occasion for consecrated persons to renew their commitment and rekindle the fervour which should inspire their offering of themselves to the Lord” (Saint John Paul II, 1997). Taken from Ordo page 61 Scripture Insights – Feast of the Presentation of the Lord Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 78. There was very little in the prophets or in John’s preaching to prepare Israel for the tiny child who made his first public appearance when his mother took him to the temple for the purification rite prescribed by the law. Jewish custom considered a woman who bore a son to be unclean for seven days. After the boy’s circumcision, she spent an additional thirty-three days becoming purified of her blood, following which she presented an offering in the temple. What is remarkable in this story is the reaction of two old wise people. When they look at the child, they see the salvation of Israel, the Messiah who has come to redeem the world. Simeon confidently describes the child’s destiny and the joy and sorrow that Mary will feel. Anna’s worship bursts forth into proclamation about the child to anyone who will listen. The good news seemed unbelievable, for most of the Jews believed that the Messiah would be a great warrior, bringing God’s justice and righteousness to a sinful nation. Even the preaching of John the Baptist pointed to someone greater than he. Could this infant really be the promised one?

The diocese has received 1187 pledges for $473000.48. About Today’s Feast – The Lord Jesus humbled himself to be baptized by John in the Jordan River. Through his compassionate identification with our human state, he “willed to wash away the sins of the world” (prayer over the offerings). At our own baptism we are joined to Christ, cleansed from sin, receive the Spirit, and are proclaimed God’s adopted sons and daughters. Taken from 2025 Source Book page 54 Scripture Insights – Feast of the Baptism of the Lord Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 54. Today we find that John’s ministry has brought many to him and spread an eager hopefulness that he is the long-awaited Messiah. John, however, is clear about his role and baptizing ministry as leading people to repentance to prepare the way for the one to come. He presents himself as the Isaian voice crying out in the wilderness proclaiming forgiveness, mercy, and the coming revelation of the glory of God. In Isaiah’s original context, the prophet proclaims the Word of God as the hope for return from exile and restoration of God’s people to their land and union with God. The evangelists re-envision this hope in the person of John the Baptist, who prepares the people for restoration and reunion with God through the coming Messiah. John’s baptism of Jesus inaugurates the revelation of the glory of God as the Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus, who is affirmed as Son.

About Today’s Solemnity – The celebration of the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord reveals to us the beautiful truth that the salvation offered by Christ is for all peoples. The journey and presence of the Magi show us that anyone who seeks Jesus with a sincere heart is acceptable to God. As his disciples, we are called to confess our faith in Christ and to make his message of salvation resound throughout the earth. Taken from 2025 Source Book page 48 Scripture Insights – Epiphany of the Lord Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 48. The prophet Isaiah proclaims the light shining in the darkness of the world. Regardless of the dark challenges presented by life in this world, the radiance of God permeates all corners. The psalmist grounds this symbolic vision in the reality of the just and peaceful rule of God’s Anointed One in history. Matthew’s Gospel tells of the Christ child, born in Bethlehem in the time of King Herod, who had a death wish for all potential claimants to his status and throne. After the Gentile wise men are profoundly affected by their encounter with the Christ child and his family, they make their own way in the world, defying the powers that be. The Magi exemplify how God might call us to live his plan in this world despite our best-laid plans. Further, we all have leading roles in our own stories, but we never know when we might be significant supporting actors in the lives of others.
· We know gifts do not represent the essence of Christmas, and we may be feeling overwhelmed at the close of the consumerist season. Yet the Magi also affirm gifts as a meaningful way to show honor and love. How can our reflections from this Christmas season inspire the way we give gifts in this new year? |
