Today’s Readings—The blessings and woes we hear in today’s Gospel mark the perfection of all the wisdom of the Old Testament. That wisdom is summed up with marvelous symmetry in today’s First Reading and Psalm: Each declares that the righteous—those who hope in the Lord and delight in His Law—will prosper like a tree planted near living waters. The wicked, who put their “trust in human beings,” are cursed to wither and die. Jesus is saying the same thing in the Gospel. The rich and poor are, for Him, more than mem-bers of literal economic classes. Their material state symbolizes their spiritual state. The rich are “the insolent” of today’s Psalm, boasting of their self-sufficiency, the strength of their flesh, as Jeremiah says in the First Reading. The poor are the humble, who put all their hope and trust in the Lord. We’ve already seen today’s dramatic imagery of reversal in Mary’s “Magnificat.” There, too, the rich are cast down while the hungry are filled and the lowly exalted (see Luke 1:45–55 also 16:19–31). That’s the upside-down world of the Gospel: in poverty we gain spiritual treasure unimaginable; in suffering and even dying “on account of the Son of Man,” we find everlasting life. The promises of the Old Testament were prom-ises of power and prosperity—in the here and now. The promise of the New Covenant is joy and true freedom even amid the misery and toil of this life. But not only that. As Paul says in today’s Epistle, we’re to be pitied if our hope is “for this life only.” The blessings of God mean that we’ll laugh with the thanksgiving of captives released from exile (see Psalm 126:1–2), feast at the heavenly table of the Lord (see Psalm 107:3–9), “leap for joy” as John the Baptist leapt in his mother’s womb (see Luke 6:23; 1:41, 44), and rise with Christ, “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” Source: www.stpaulcenter.com
Family Preparation for Sundays Sunday, February 17—Jesus takes His followers beyond the Ten Commandments by preaching the Beatitudes. The blessings and woes don’t match up with our world’s views on blessings and trou-bles. We as Catholic Christians are called to a higher standard. Repent; amend your life; follow Christ. Your eternal soul is at stake! Sunday, February 24—Jesus continues to chal-lenge us by saying to love our enemies. It’s easy to love those who love us, but difficult to love those who don’t love or even like us. Do it anyway. It can be painful but Jesus promises our reward will be great, not in this world but in heaven. Aim for heav-enly treasure and love everyone.

Dear Parishioners: Last fall, Mrs. Felicia Torres, Principal of St. Pat-rick Catholic School, shared with me that she was discerning her future at St. Patrick. She confirmed with me this past week that she would be resigning as Principal effective June 30, 2019. I am extreme-ly grateful to her for her leadership of St. Patrick School, her love for the students and families, her Christian professionalism, and her commitment to the mission of Catholic education and forming our children as disciples of Jesus Christ. Please join me in thanking her for her selfless service to our parish. Also, please pray that we may soon wel-come a new principal while making a smooth and successful transition. In Christ, Fr. John Riley
