CHOICE “If you choose you can keep the commandments,” Sirach tells us. God “has set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand” (Sirach 15:15, 16). This is a great mystery: God does not control us so completely that we cannot choose our own path. We have certain boundaries, of course, but no one but we can choose our way within those boundaries. In today’s reading from Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus reminds us of our freedom and our responsi-bility for our lives. He calls us to look beyond the words of the commandments, all the way to their meaning. Look beyond the adultery to the selfishness that poisons our love. Look beyond the murder to the anger that eats away at our compassion. Look beyond the perjured testimony to the lies and deception that drive our behavior. Our vocation is to choose life for ourselves, and to choose a path through our part of the world that helps make life possible and more abundant for others as well. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS

Please!! Do not tape, staple, or glue your offertory/donation envelopes.

“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20 The scribes and Pharisees lived according to the letter of the law and they used this to elevate them-selves above the other people. Jesus is clear – it is the love that you have in your heart that will get you to heaven. Simply following church rules out of ob-ligation, not love, does not put you on the path to heaven. Attending Mass on Sunday and then gos-siping about a fellow parishioner on the parking lot is an example of a modern-day Pharisee.

The Holy Father’s Intentions for 2020: FEBRUARY: Universal Prayer Intention: Listen to the Migrants’ Cries We pray that the cries of our migrant brothers and sisters, victims of criminal trafficking, may be heard and considered.
