Page Four — February 19, 2012Scripture Reflections for theSeventh Sunday in Ordinary TimeLIVINGtheWORDSunday,February 19, 2012TODAY'S FOCUS:THE REAL AGENDA —THE FORGIVENESS OF SINSGod is so endlessly inventive that not even so greatan event as Israel's exodus from Egypt was going tobe God's final word — or deed — in Israel's life.Freedom from physical slavery was only the preludeto the freedom God wanted all creation to have fromsin and death.• FIRST READINGIt is I who wipe out, for my own sake, your offenses(Isaiah 43:18-19, 21-22, 24b-25).The people of Israel were living in exile and wonderedwhether God's punishment would endure forever. Isaiahresponded that God did not want them to dwell upon thethings of the past (their sins). God was establishingsomething radically new, an era of pardon and mercy.He was transforming the desert of their broken heartsinto a fertile place where His love would bloom. God wasnot doing this because the people of Israel deserved it,but rather for the sake of His own name. It was GodHimself who would wipe out their sins, for He alonecould renew His people's hearts and minds.• SECOND READINGJesus was not yes and no, but yes has been in Him(2 Corinthians 1:18-22).St. Paul had been accused of vacillation. He had told theCorinthians that he would visit them, and then did not.He did this for their sake. He wanted to wait a bit beforevisiting them so that they might have a chance to changetheir ways (for there were serious problems amongthem). Paul speaks of our Lord being constant in HisSaint Anthony Catholic Churchways. Paul was an envoy of Christ, so there could be nodoubt or weakness in his position. He calls the HolySpirit the first installment on God's promises. The HolySpirit, God's love personified, allows us to begin toexperience the love of heaven already here on earth.• GOSPELThe Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins(Mark 2:1-12).This is a very unusual miracle story. There are usuallyfour elements: a description of the situation, an appealfor help, an intervention on the part of Jesus, and areaction from the people who witnessed the miracle. Wehear these four elements when we hear the descriptionof the paralytic being brought into the room where Jesuswas. Being lowered through the roof was a type ofappeal. Then Jesus forgave his sins. Finally, the scribesand Pharisees reject what Jesus had done. As far as Jesuswas concerned, He was finished when He forgave theman his sins. He had healed him in the most importantway, for He had let him experience God's love and mercyin a profound manner. This is what He had come to do.• REFLECTIONWhen Jesus came preaching, teaching, healing, andexorcising, the response was amazement and wonder.He was a "crowd magnet," as we see in this week'sGospel. When Jesus showed up, it was standing roomonly. What would be the next miracle? So when theparalytic came down, there might even have been a little"ho‐hum" in the air. "Didn't He do something along theselines that night outside Simon's mother‐in‐law's house?"But healing the body and casting out demons were onlythe first steps in the new creation God had in mind. Thenext step went to the heart of the matter — salvation."Child, your sins are forgiven." Alarms went off, at leastin the heads of some of the legal experts present. "DidHe just say?... No, not possible.... Only God can...." ButJesus, who really could hear people thinking, had notrouble saying it again: "That you may know the Son ofMan has the authority to forgive sins on earth..." then Heturned to the paralytic: "Get up and go." And the man gotup and went. All the other things Jesus had been doingwere acceptable, except when He did them on a Sabbath,for this was crossing a clearly defined line in the law ofMoses. Forgiving sin? Only God could do that. Yes, thatwas the point. And still is. So don't let past actions —even God's, much less yours — lock you in or keep Godout. God remains at work in Jesus offering forgiveness,reconciliation, atonement (at‐one‐ment) to all whorealize they need it. How do you feel when you hearJesus say, "Your sins are forgiven"?Mon., Feb. 20thJas 3:13-18;Mk 9:14-29Tues., Feb. 21stJas 4:1-10;Mk 9:30-37READINGS FOR THE WEEKWed., Feb. 22ndJl 2:12-18; 2 Cor 5:20—6:2; Mt 6:1-6, 16-18Thurs., Feb. 23rdDt. 30:15-20;Lk 9:22-25Fri., Feb. 24thIs 58:1-9a;Mt 9:14-15

Page Six — February 19, 2012Saint Anthony Catholic ChurchASH WEDNESDAY COLLECTION FOR THE CHURCH IN CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEBlessed John Paul II said, “Christ is the light which illumines the way.” For many in the Church in Central andEastern Europe, the aftermath of 70 years of Soviet rule and atheism are still evident every day in the forms of povertyand lack of access to medical and pastoral care. Your donations help strengthen the Church of this region throughgrants to Catholic organizations that help those in need receive food, shelter, medicine, pastoral care, and compassionthrough the light of Christ. Please be generous.ASHWEDNESDAYLenten Regulations Everyone 14 years old or over is bound to abstainfrom meat on Ash Wednesday and all the Fridays of Lent. Everyone 18 years of age and under 59 years of ageis bound to fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On days of fast and abstinence only one full meatlessmeal is allowed. Two other meatless meals, sufficient tomaintain strength, may be taken according to eachone’s needs, but together they should not equal anotherfull meal. Eating between meals is not permitted onthese two days, but liquids, including milk and fruitASH WEDNESDAY,FEBRUARY 22NDMasses: 8 AM and 7 PMThere will be distribution of ashesin Church throughout the day aftermorning Mass (approx. 8:45 AM)until 6:30 p.m. (before 7 PM Mass)STATIONS OF THE CROSSFridays of Lentat 7 PMFebruary 24, andMarch 2, 9,16, 23, 30juices are allowed. When health or ability to work wouldbe seriously affected, the law does not oblige. To disregard completely the law of fast andabstinence is seriously sinful. Lent is the principal season of penance in theChristian year. All of the faithful are strongly urged todevelop and follow a program of voluntary self-denial(in addition to following the Lenten regulations),serious prayer, and a performance of works of charityand mercy.Ash WednesdayMinisterSchedule:8:45-10am: Lindy Luster Bartz10-11am: Janice McCarthy11-12 Noon: Vicky Stasulas12 Noon-1pm: Rose Govert1-2pm: Lisa Glancy2-3pm: Liz Krech3-4pm: Diane Kocsis4-5pm: Angie Thomas5-6pm: Randy ZychTed and Colleen Mora6-6:30pm:Terry McMahonLENTEN JOURNEYWhat does God have Planned for me?What does God Want of me?Is that Him Calling me?As Catholics we have all pondered the above three questions in our lives; someare still searching for answers. So please join St. Anthony’s Catholic Church as wespend reflective time this Lenten season searching for answers to the above questions.All baptized Catholics are called to a specific vocation (or calling from God). This Lentwe will be hosting a series of talks exploring the vocations that any Catholic mayassume in service to the Lord and His Church. We will be having guest speakerstalking about the vocation they have been called to, hopefully we can find answers towhat the vocation does and hear their individual stories of answering their call.We hope you will join us on Wednesday evenings during Lent for Mass and stay forthe talks that follow. Hopefully we can use this time as a self examination, a time to answerthe above questions for ourselves, as a way to use this Lent to prepare ourselves for theservice of the Lord, so that we may truly answer God’s Call for each and every one of us.Wednesdays of Lent • February 29, March 7, 14, 21, 28, 2012Mass at 6:30 PM • Lenten Sharings in St. Anthony Hall after Mass
