4 REFLECTION LITURGY THIS WEEK
TODAY’S READINGS: DAY AND TIME AND
SUNDAY, February 17 READINGS INTENTIONS Jeremiah 17:5-8 1 Corinthians 15:12,16-20 MONDAY, 9 am NO Liturgy of the Word Luke 6:17, 20-26 February 18 with Communion or Genesis 4:1-15, 25 Eucharistic Liturgy REFLECTION Mark 8:11-13
What an audience Jesus has in today's Gospel! "A great crowd of his disciples and a large number of TUESDAY, 9 am Eucharistic Liturgy people from all over Judea and Jerusalem and the February 19 Frank & Florence Gaudett † coastal region of Tyre and Sidon." Disciples, Genesis 6:5-8; 7:1-5, pagans, and devout Jews gathered together to hear 10 Jesus speak in the Sermon on the Mount. All of Mark 8:14-21 these people had something in common. God was WEDNESDAY, 9 am Liturgy of the Word someone to be bargained with, and if God liked you, February 20 with Communion you were rewarded with good fortune. This Sunday, Genesis 8:6-13, 20-22 Jesus tells us a different story. "Woe to you who are Mark 8:22-26 rich, who are filled now, who laugh when all speak well of you. Blessed are you who are poor, you who THURSDAY, 9 am Liturgy of the Word are now hungry, when people hate you and when February 21 with Communion Genesis 9:1-13 they exclude you and insult you." Jesus completely Mark 8:27-33 flips the script on what it means to be blessed by
God. What he proclaims as "woe" are states of life FRIDAY, Chair of St. Peter the Apostle we often strive for, and "blessed" are the states we February 22 9 am Eucharistic Liturgy work hard to avoid! Jesus is concerned with the 1 Peter 5:1-4 Peg & Don Magin kingdom of God and the world to come, not the Matthew 16:13-19 typical structures of power and privilege. The word SATURDAY, "now" appears often in these statements. Why? St. Polycarp February 23 5 pm Eucharistic Liturgy If you are well "now," that's beside the point. To Hebrews 11:1-7 be rich in this life has no direct bearing on your Mark 9:2-13 Joe Lukowski † immortal soul. If you're struggling "now," that's not SUNDAY, 7th Sunday in Ordinary Time an indication that God has forgotten you or that - in 7:15 am Larry Nelson † light of eternity - you're worse off than someone February 24 8:45 am Anna Sheridan † else. In fact, it could be an indicator that you're 1 Samuel 26:2, 7-9, 12 11:15 am Jim Hyser † -13, 22-23 5:00 pm Rick Casey † enduring something that will bring you to a place of 1 Corinthians 15:45-49 greater, eternal joy in the future. This Sunday, Luke 6:27-38 consider your priorities. Who do we reject as not blessed, and thereby inflict woe upon ourselves? The Parish Center Offices are closed When we encounter difficult situations in our own on Monday, February 18, in lives, do we see them as opportunities to remember observance of President’s Day. God and lean on His mercy and grace? -©LPI We will reopen Tuesday at 9:00am.
