February 12, 2017 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

CHOICE “If you choose you can keep the command-ments,” 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 com-pletely 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 respon-sibility 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.

TÚ DECIDES “Si tú lo quieres, puedes guardar los manda-mientos”, nos dice Eclesiástico (Sirácide). Dios “ha puesto delante de ti fuego y agua; extiende la mano a lo que quieras” (Eclo 15:15, 16). Este es un gran misterio: Dios no nos controla tan com-pletamente que no podemos elegir nuestro propio camino. Es cierto que tenemos límites, pero na-die sino nosotros mismos podemos elegir el ca-mino dentro de esos límites. En la lectura de hoy del Evangelio según san Mateo, Jesús nos recuerda que somos libres y responsables de nuestra vida. Nos llama a ir más allá de las palabras de los mandamientos para considerar su significado. Si vas más allá del adulterio verás el egoísmo que envenena nuestro amor. Si vas más allá del asesinato verás la ira que corroe nuestra compasión. Si vas más allá del falso testimonio (perjurio) verás las mentiras y engaños que producen este comportamiento. Nuestra vocación es elegir la vida para noso-tros mismos, y tomar un camino a través de nues-tro mundo que haga la vida posible y más abun-dante para otros también. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Please prayerfully consider a pledge to the Appeal using the response card mailed to you or by completing a Commitment Enve-lope at Mass the weekend of February 25–26. Our annual theme, “One Faith, One Family” continues to remind us that we are members of something greater than ourselves.

The Annual Appeal invites each of us to place trust in the Lord by offering our prayers and our gifts. These contributions to your parish and our Diocese serve as a sign of gratitude for each blessing bestowed upon us, and a reminder that everything we are and everything we have comes from God, and God alone. Please prayerfully re-spond to the Appeal and consider making a sacrificial gift in the form of a pledge. Your support to the Appeal makes a tan-gible difference in our local Church.

Use Your Envelopes ! We encourage everyone to use their envelopes. Think of your envelopes as a gift to God. You

take the time to thoughtfully, prayerfully choose your gift, wrap it and present it eagerly to our Lord. Many times families will ask for a letter stating that they are registered, partici-pating members of San Sebastian in order to become a Godparent, Confirmation Sponsor or simply to enroll in Catholic Schools. Using your envelope makes our job easier and allows us to say “Yes! this family is registered and partici-

pating here at San Sebastian Catholic Church.”
