PASTOR’S MESSAGE:
READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 9, 2020
5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
What does it mean to be salt and light? If we listen carefully to Jesus’
words, we gain some direction. To be salt means to bring taste, zest, and
joy to life. We are asked to liven things up a bit by allowing the joy of our
faith to spill over into the lives of others. Only a sincere and deep
relationship with God can freshen up humanity and set it on proper course.
To be light means that our faith must translate into action so that we can be
Christ for others and extend the same arm of mercy and compassion that
Christ did. Our acts of piety, then, cannot be directed solely at ourselves.
Prayer is never about self-benefit but must always be directed toward
union with God, deepening our relationships with one another and learning
how to be effective stewards of the beautiful universe God has entrusted to
our care.
The Master gives us wise direction in terms of how we can best become
the salt and light he desires. Listen carefully to the Beatitudes. Think about
the oppression and alienation that exists in our world, the violence and
prejudice, the anger and the hatred, the fear and the shame. All of these
things require action. The poor need food, housing, and clothes. Hatred
must be replaced by love. Retaliation and violence by forgiveness. Our
thoughts and speech can become more like Christ. We can change and
continue to change. Blessed John Henry Cardinal Newman said, “To live
is to change and to be perfect is to have changed often.”
But it doesn’t end with just offering the bandages needed to heal wounds.
It must go deeper. We must ask ourselves what has happened that we have
found ourselves in this place with these wounds and divisions. What are
their causes? Together we must address these systemic problems,
politically and spiritually, and face the truth. Only then will we truly be
salt and light. But then again, we may not like what the light shows us.

MASS INTENTION UPDATE: We are kindly asking for you help in
regards to sharing our limited number of weekend Mass intentions with
the whole community. We need to gently remind everyone that there is a
limit of three weekend Mass intentions per person each year. While it is
natural for family and friends to wish to offer multiple intentions for a
soul, particularly after a recent passing, we also want to be as inclusive as
we can be to the rest of our community. Your cooperation will help us to
make that happen. If your loved one has already had three weekend
Masses offered in a calendar year, you may ask if there are upcoming
daily Masses that can accommodate your intention. Thank you very much
for your help with this matter. ~ Fr. Matt
