Jesus’ efforts to preach the gospel! —Fr. Mark Haydu, LC Paul shared Christ’s ardor. He Piece: Scenes From the Life of Christ: The Sermon on the Mount, was entrusted with preaching to the circa 1481-1482 Gentiles the truth of the Gospel, and Artist: Cosimo Rosselli he did all he could to convince them Location: Sistine Chapel of his message. He says he became all things to all, to save at least some. He worked hard during the day so he could pay his own way and offer his message for free. He adapted himself to his audience—their customs and ways of thinking—so they wouldn’t take offense at him, closing their hearts to his message. How many missionaries have used this same approach? Just think of the French Jesuits Sts. Jean de Brébeuf and Isaac Jogues of the Great Lakes region, St. Junípero Serra in the West, or Mother Cabrini serving European For Reflection When you look around, what needs for the gospel of love do you see? Which of these needs can you fill as Jesus’ apostle? [Jesus said,] “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” (Mar k 1:38) © 2018 Liguori Publications • Liguori, MO 63057-9999 i le preguntas a Jesús qué hizo mientras estuvo en la tierra, creo que él diría, “predicó y sanó”. Esas fueron sus misiones. S Tenía buenas noticias para compartir y un deseo de convencer a sus oyentes de la verdad de este evangelio de amor y libertad. Él se conmovió porque los vio como ovejas sin pastor. ¡Los evangelios no son más que documentación de los esfuerzos de Jesús para predicar el evangelio! Pablo compartió el ardor de Cristo. Se le confió la predicación a los gentiles de la verdad del Evangelio, e hizo todo lo posible por convencerlos de su mensaje. Él dice que se convirtió en todo para todos, para salvar al menos a algunos. Trabajó duro durante el día para poder pagar a su manera y ofrecer su mensaje de forma gratuita. Se adaptó a su audiencia -sus costumbres y formas de pensar- para que no se ofendieran por él, cerrando sus corazones a su mensaje. ¿Cuántos misioneros han usado este mismo enfoque? Solo piense en los jesuitas franceses St. Jean de Brébeuf e Isaac Jogues de la región de los Grandes Lagos, San Junípero Serra en el oeste, o Madre Cabrini al servicio de los europeos inmigrantes en la costa este. Aprendieron nuevos idiomas, comieron nuevas comidas y adoptaron nuevas tradiciones para insertarse en estas culturas y compartir el Evan- gelio. Sacaron una página del libro de Paul, convirtiéndose en todas las cosas para salvar al menos a algunos. Somos apóstoles y misioneros modernos. Saquemos una página del libro de Pablo, y ofrezcamos este evangelio de esperanza y amor a tantas almas necesitadas. Calendar Monday February 5 St. Agatha, Virgin and Martyr How can I ask my priest for better homilies? 1 Kgs 8:1–7, 9–13 Mk 6:53–56 irst, let me commend you for not just accepting bad preaching as a Tuesday Fnecessary evil. Priests are just like anyone else: Each has his gifts, and February 6 not everyone is a gifted preacher. St. Paul Miki and One of the best things parishioners can do for their priest is to give him Companions, Martyrs some honest, specific, 1 Kgs 8:22–23, 27–30 helpful feedback Mk 7:1–13 instead of the generic, Wednesday “Nice homily, Father.” February 7 Many people say that Weekday so automatically that 1 Kgs 10:1–10 it’s been said to me Mk 7:14–23 even when I wasn’t the Thursday priest who delivered the February 8 homily! Weekday Most priests don’t get 1 Kgs 11:4–13 a lot of quality feedback Mk 7:24–30 CNS PHOTO/GREGORY A. SHEMITZ on their preaching. Friday Some may find it hard to hear a critique, but most would welcome sincere, February 9 constructive criticism as long as it comes from the heart and the goal is to Weekday make them better preachers. You can even do this in a letter. Just be sure 1 Kgs 11:29–32; 12:19 to sign it so he will take it seriously and be able to contact you for further Mk 7:31–37 feedback. Saturday Keep in mind that a homily is not the same as a sermon. Whereas a sermon February 10 often includes a lot of moralizing, a homily must artfully draw the listener St. Scholastica, into questions of the human heart and bring that day’s Scripture reading Virgin to bear on those questions. In that homily we hear in faith how hope, love, 1 Kgs 12:26–32; 13:33–34 sacrifice, and belief in God guide us on our life journey. Mk 8:1–10 Fr. Rick Potts, CSsR Sunday [email protected] February 11 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Lv 13:1–2, 44–46 1 Cor 10:31—11:1 A Word From Pope Francis Mk 1:40–45 Jesus sends his disciples out to all nations....We too were part of all those people of two thousand years ago. Jesus did not provide a short list of who is, or is not, worthy of receiving his message and his presence. Instead, he always embraced life as he saw it. —Canonization of Fr.
