Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Last week we heard John’s version of the calling of the

first apostles. This week we have Mark’s version. Both of

these versions are countered by Old Testament reading of

others being called by God. Last week that person was

Samuel. Jesus had to call him repeatedly to get his atten-

tion. Samuel would eventually get it and go about doing

God’s will. Today, in our Old Testament reading, God

calls Jonah. Unlike Samuel, Jonah understands exactly

what God wants him do. Jonah’s problem is that he

doesn’t want to do it! Where are we between Samuel and

Jonah? Do we, like Samuel, have trouble hearing God

over the noise of the world? Or are we more like Jonah,

saying I understand, I just have other things I’d rather do?

REFLECT AND RESPOND TO SCRIPTURE

First Reading:

Although initially reluctant to be one of God’s prophets,

Jonah was ultimately successful in getting the Nine-

vites to repent of their sins. When do you find yourself resisting God’s

will?

Second Reading:

In trying to awaken a sense of spiritual urgency, Paul taught the Corin-

thians that Christ’s return was imminent and that, “time is running out.”

How can a sense of urgency aid one’s spiritual life?

Gospel:

In Mark’s account of the call of the first disciples, Simon (Peter), An-

drew, James, and John immediately answer Jesus’ call to follow him.

How would you describe your response to Jesus’ call in your life?

POPE FRANCIS PRAYER

Saints Anthony Joseph Church

Please call Sts. Anthony and Joseph Church or St.

John the Baptist Church Parish Offices if you have any

questions or concerns.

HOLY COMMUNION at HOME

The COVID pandemic has caused many of our pa-

rishioners to remain home and miss out on the op-

portunity to receive Eucharist. To celebrate the

birth of Jesus Christ, Deacon Jim will bring Eucha-

rist to the homes of those who cannot make it to

Christmas Mass. This will be offered on Christmas

week and may be extended to the week following

Christmas, depending on the number wishing to

receive Eucharist at home. Please call the parish

office to schedule a visit.

St. THOMAS AQUINAS

Thomas Aquinas was a 13

th

century Dominican and is con-

sidered one of the great teachers of the Christian faith. His

most famous writing is the multi-volume Summa Theoliae,

his last and unfinished work, still used in seminaries for the

instruction of men entering the priesthood. When asked

why he did not finish this monumental work, he replied: “All

that I have written seems to me like so much straw com-

pared to what I have seen and what has been revealed to

me.” Thomas Aquinas realized that words cannot express

the wonder and awe of all that God has given us.

BLESSING of THROATS

Wednesday, February 3

rd

, is

the feast day of St. Blaise, pa-

tron saint for diseases of the

throat. We typically bless

throats on the weekend near-

est to the feast day. This year

we will bless throats next

weekend, January 30-31, fol-

lowing all Masses. Because of

COVID, we will not place the traditional crossed candles on

the throat. Fr Healy and Deacon Jim will be stationed on

either side of the front pews. Those wishing to have their

throats blessed will come up the side aisles, beginning from

the front of the church, keeping a safe distance from the

person in front of them for the blessing. Father and Dea-

con will wear masks, as will all who come forward for the

blessing. After the blessing is received, exit will be down

the center aisle and out the front door of the church.

CONVERSION of St. PAUL

Monday, January 25, is the feast of

the Conversion of St. Paul. Paul was

a devout Pharisee and persecutor of

Christians until he was knocked off his

horse by the blinding light of Christ,

and became the Apostle to the Gen-

tiles, establishing churches throughout

the Roman Empire. True conversion

is something that affects our deepest

being, and it can only happen when we open ourselves and

allow the light of Christ to become part of who we are.
