SOCIAL JUSTICE CORNER

Last Sunday, we celebrated the close of the Christmas season, re-turning this week to Ordinary Time. Most of our church’s liturgical year is just that – “Ordinary Time” – where you and I, as ‘ordinary’ people, are called like Samuel and the disciples in today’s readings, to recognize the inner voice of God and Jesus calling us by name to “Come”. And so…When the song of the angels is stilled, When the star in the sky is gone, When the kings and princes are home, When the shepherds are back with the flocks. The work of Christmas begins: To find the lost, To heal the broken, To feed the hungry, To release the prisoners, To rebuild the nations, To bring peace among brothers and sisters, To make music in the heart!* Let us pray that we, like Samuel, will be alert to the inner voice of God and his Son, Jesus, so that, when called, we may read-ily respond, ‘Here I am. You called me. Speak, Lord, for your ser-vant is listening. Help us to reach out, in your name, to those who come into my daily path.’ *written by Howard Thurman, author and civil rights advo-cate
