GOSPEL ACCLAMATION “Whoever keeps the word of Christ, the love of God is truly perfected in him.” - 1 John 2:5

7TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME... GOD WANTS US TO BE HOLY AS HE IS HOLY The Gospels continue to challenge us to the core. This is especially true in the way our social relationships have developed. Feeling safe and secure in the world are not things that come easily these days. Actually, we may find ourselves feeling more reservation, caution, reluctance, and fear than ever before. In a moment’s notice, life can drastically change. When someone has been intentionally and violently hurt, especially someone we love, we can all too easily find ourselves very attracted to the Old Testament philosophy of “an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” Intellectually, we know this is not what Jesus wants us to do. But on some level it just seems to make practical or even political sense. After all, why should we allow someone to get away with a heinously violent act? Yet, Jesus cannot be any clearer than he is with this! Offer no resistance to one who is evil. Turn the other cheek as well. When pressed into service, go two miles. Do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow. Love your enemies. Now, take a moment to reflect on all of this. Consider a horrible act of violence committed against someone you love. Listen. Think. Be honest. Can you do as Jesus directs? We want to be holy. But we are more comfortable with a definition of holiness that can keep us saying our prayers and on our knees in church. We are not comfortable with a definition of holiness that has something to say about to how we react to and negotiate life. We like to keep a sharp and strong line between the secular and the sacred. In fact, we would prefer that the doors between them be kept closed. God wants us to be holy as He is holy. If God sees this one way and we see it another, then where does this leave us on our journey to God? Our minds like the practical, worldly, and secular answers to things. They are more black and white and at first glance appear to make more sense. Holiness wells up from our souls and is beyond reason. It cannot be explained. It is something we just simply know comes as a result of deep prayer. The truly contemplative eye knows inwardly that what Jesus asks is true and then willingly does it. It may not be easy.

©2020 Liturgical Publications Inc. ASH WEDNESDAY - FEBRUARY 26TH There are four Masses on Ash Wednesday. Please see the full schedule on page 8. The offertory collection on Ash Wednesday will be used to assist the needy in our local community. Envelopes are at all the church doors.

ST. IGNATIUS/DOROTHY RICE SCHOLARSHIP FUND — NOW IN OUR 23RD YEAR ASSISTING FAMILIES WITH SCHOOL TUITION!

The St. Ignatius/Dorothy Rice Memorial Scholarship Fund assists families who are not able to afford the full tuition at St. Ignatius School (which averages about $9500 per year). Each year we help to keep children in our school who otherwise couldn’t afford a Catholic Education. Over the past 22 years we have assisted more than 180 children from over 120 families! The average child in this programme receives about $200-$300 per month off the fees, paid by the scholarship fund (directly to the school bursar), while the child’s family pays the rest. In return for the help, the families actively contribute to the school and parish in a variety of ways (helping out with fundraisers, chaperoning school trips, cleaning the grounds, assisting at sports days, serving on committees, etc.). How you can help:  Donation envelopes are available at the front entrance of St. Ignatius Church or in the church office. Donations can be dropped in the collection, sent in by mail or dropped off at the church office. If paying by cheque, please make your donations payable to: ST. IGNATIUS, and in the memo, please indicate “Scholarship Fund”. Please consider the Scholarship Fund from time to time when doing your charitable work throughout the year! Many thanks to all those who have contributed to the fund during recent months and during the past several years! For further information, please contact Jeremy Rice in the Parish Office or via e-mail: [email protected].
