CATHOLIC HOME MISSIONS APPEAL<br />

Collection Next Weekend<br />

Dear Brothers and Si<strong>st</strong>ers in Chri<strong>st</strong>,<br />

Four out of every ten dioceses in the United States<br />

cannot offer their people basic pa<strong>st</strong>oral care or<br />

provide prie<strong>st</strong>ly formation and lay mini<strong>st</strong>ry training<br />

without outside help. The m<strong>il</strong>lions of Catholics who<br />

live in these places, called home mission dioceses,<br />

rely on your generous support of the Catholic Home<br />

Missions Appeal.<br />

For example, Prince of Peace Catholic Church in<br />

the Diocese of Lexington is the only Catholic<br />

presence in two Kentucky counties. The pa<strong>st</strong>or splits<br />

his time between Prince of Peace and St. Julie’s, a<br />

parish 25 m<strong>il</strong>es away. The difficult travel in<br />

Appalachia combined with the economic hardships<br />

faced by the population <strong>st</strong>rains the resources of the<br />

diocese. Support from the Appeal provides welltrained<br />

lay mini<strong>st</strong>ers and deacons to attend to the<br />

spiritual needs of those in the region and also allows<br />

Prince of Peace Parish to provide a food and clothing<br />

bank for those in need.<br />

With your support, the Catholic Home Missions<br />

Appeal can continue to provide essential pa<strong>st</strong>oral<br />

outreach in home mission dioceses. La<strong>st</strong> year, our<br />

diocese donated $251,732.24. Please be generous to<br />

this year’s Appeal and help <strong>st</strong>rengthen the Church<br />

at home. Your support w<strong>il</strong>l truly make a difference.<br />

Thank you.<br />

God bless you,<br />

Mo<strong>st</strong> Reverend R. Daniel Conlon<br />

Bishop of Joliet<br />

For information on the Catholic Home Missions and<br />

ST. ANTHONY CONFERENCE<br />

In the Gospel, Jesus shows us that we are<br />

called to place gospel values before any other values and<br />

to be w<strong>il</strong>ling to put our lives on the line for them. Taking<br />

care of God’s poor is indeed living gospel values. Have<br />

you considered answering the call to “bring glad tidings<br />

to the poor” by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul?<br />

YEAR OF FAITH<br />

DIOCESE OF JOLIET<br />

CATECHISM CORNER<br />

Nobody’s perfect. This is precisely why we profess<br />

our belief “in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins”<br />

so that, like the Prodigal Son (in Luke 15:11‐32) and<br />

the Tax Collector (in Luke 18:9‐14), we can examine<br />

our consciences regularly, seek forgiveness and<br />

mercy from our loving God, and receive the graces of<br />

absolution offered in the Sacrament of Reconc<strong>il</strong>iation.<br />

Furthermore, as the Second Vatican Counc<strong>il</strong><br />

proclaimed in “Gravissimum Educationis,” the more<br />

we learn about our faith and <strong>st</strong>udy the Scriptures,<br />

the more we w<strong>il</strong>l better under<strong>st</strong>and what it means to<br />

live and act as a virtuous and faithful follower of<br />

Chri<strong>st</strong> every day of our lives. And with every new<br />

discovery of faith, our hearts may once again be converted<br />

to the Gospel.<br />

February 3:<br />

“Incorporated into Chri<strong>st</strong> by Baptism, the person baptized<br />

is configured to Chri<strong>st</strong>. Baptism seals the Chri<strong>st</strong>ian with<br />

the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to<br />

Chri<strong>st</strong>. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents<br />

Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation.” CCC, n. 1272<br />

Scripture Reflections for the<br />

FOURTH SUNDAY IN<br />

ORDINARY TIME<br />

LIVING<br />

the<br />

WORD<br />

Sunday,<br />

February 3, 2013<br />

TODAY'S FOCUS:<br />

GOD’S WORD EXPANDS HEARTS<br />

God’s word not only enlivens but is also a two-edged<br />

sword provoking opposition. Spoken by the prophets,<br />

pa<strong>st</strong> and present, it challenges treasured ways of<br />

thinking, relating, and acting. God’s word often prunes<br />

what works again<strong>st</strong> life so greater fruitfulness can<br />

result. It w<strong>il</strong>l achieve the end for which it was sent.<br />

• FIRST READING<br />

A prophet to the nations I appoint you<br />

(Jeremiah 1:4-5,17-19).<br />

God has given us each a mission to proclaim the Good<br />

News. Yet, there w<strong>il</strong>l also be a price to pay. If we try to live<br />

a good life and do what is right, we w<strong>il</strong>l face opposition.<br />

There is a saying that no good deed goes unpunished. This<br />

is why it is important to remember that we are not doing<br />

this on our own. God reminds Jeremiah to do what he was<br />

doing. God knew that Jeremiah could not do it on his own.<br />

He did not expect him to do that. God would accompany<br />

him and give him the courage to proclaim the truth to his<br />

community.<br />

• SECOND READING<br />

So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greate<strong>st</strong><br />

of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:4-13).<br />

Paul quotes a hymn on love to give the mo<strong>st</strong> important<br />

criterion by which the gifts of the Spirit should be used.<br />

Love should be the measure of all that we do. This hymn is<br />

especially important for us today, for the word “love” has<br />

been misused by our society. Paul is not speaking about<br />

affection, or sexual attraction, or neediness, or any of the<br />

other ideas that are called “love” today. He speaks about<br />

the w<strong>il</strong>lingness to serve and even die for the other. This<br />

hymn could serve as an examination of conscience to help<br />

us determine whether our actions and attitudes are really<br />

based upon love. Paul also speaks of his former attitude<br />

(that of a ch<strong>il</strong>d). By this he means that he once thought<br />

only of himself (he is speaking of selfishness that ch<strong>il</strong>dren<br />

can sometimes display). Now he has learned to be<br />

generous and think more of others than of himself. This is<br />

what heaven means: not being concerned with ourselves,<br />

but being a totally giving person for all eternity.<br />

• GOSPEL<br />

Like Elijah and Elisha, Jesus was not sent only to the Jews<br />

(Luke 4:21-30).<br />

Jesus is rejected by his home v<strong>il</strong>lage of Nazareth because<br />

He had proclaimed to be the fulf<strong>il</strong>lment of the prophecy<br />

from the book of the Prophet Isaiah—He was the Anointed<br />

One of the Lord who comes to give consolation to the poor<br />

and rejected. One would think that the reaction would be<br />

of great joy. Yet, they chose to reject Him. Why? A reason<br />

may be that we do not like to depend on others; we want<br />

to solve our own problems and be autonomous. When<br />

Jesus teaches that they need Him, they are enraged and try<br />

to k<strong>il</strong>l Him. Ironically, this means that the Good News is<br />

not something people w<strong>il</strong>l read<strong>il</strong>y accept; it calls us to<br />

conversion and vulnerab<strong>il</strong>ity and to recognize that we are<br />

no better than the widow of Zarephath and Naaman, the<br />

Syrian. It is only when we are w<strong>il</strong>ling to admit this that we<br />

can open our hearts to the healing Jesus is offering.<br />

• REFLECTION<br />

When Jesus went to His hometown synagogue on the<br />

Sabbath, after His time in the desert, He reads from Isaiah<br />

61, His three‐fold mini<strong>st</strong>ry of preaching the good news to<br />

the poor, bringing liberation to the oppressed and<br />

captives, and giving “recovery of sight to the blind” — a<br />

phrase from (Isaiah 42:1‐9), that presents a servant for all<br />

nations. Jesus extends the boundaries of God’s love to the<br />

Gent<strong>il</strong>es, and this enrages His li<strong>st</strong>eners, a group very<br />

sim<strong>il</strong>ar to the present‐day setters in Israel. Then, Jesus<br />

pours o<strong>il</strong> on the flames by noting that two revered<br />

prophets of Israel, Elijah and Elisha, helped, even cured<br />

Gent<strong>il</strong>es rather than their own people. During Israel’s<br />

hi<strong>st</strong>ory, God worked through the prophets — from Elijah<br />

to Isaiah to Jeremiah to Jesus — to expand the boundaries<br />

of the hearts of God’s people to include the poor, the weak,<br />

and the Gent<strong>il</strong>es. We hear God’s word attempting to<br />

penetrate our own hearts in St. Paul’s call to cultivate love:<br />

a call to patience and kindness, not being rude or selfseeking,<br />

but enduring all things. God’s word often calls for<br />

dying so that more life can flood into and out from us.<br />

PRO-LIFE REFLECTION<br />

"Be fruitful and increase in number."<br />

God Himself is fruitful. Love always<br />

overflows into life. By commanding us as<br />

a human fam<strong>il</strong>y to be fruitful, God is<br />

commanding us to be like Him. He wants us<br />

to share the joy He has of giving new life.<br />

God's Word counts fert<strong>il</strong>ity as a great<br />

blessing and sign of His favor.<br />

Lord, thank You for the gift of fert<strong>il</strong>ity.<br />

Help those who are trying to conceive.<br />

Give the blessing and joy of new life.
