FOOLISHNESS

Sometimes the idea of repentance seems old-

fashioned, naïve, even foolish. But if you’re looking for

real foolishness, you’ll find it in today’s readings.

We begin with Leviticus and the admonition,

“Take no revenge and cherish no grudge” (Leviticus

19:18). We’ve heard that message before, of course, so

we might forget how far it is from the so-called

“practical realities of life.” Saint Paul warns us about

being practical, though. Whoever considers oneself wise

had better “become a fool,” because “the wisdom of this

world is foolishness in the eyes of God” (1 Corinthians

3:18, 19).

This “foolishness” continues in the Gospel:

“Offer no resistance to one who is evil” (Matthew 5:39).

In fact, offer the other cheek when you’ve been slapped.

Hand over your coat as well as your shirt. Be like God,

who sends sunshine and rain on the bad as well as the

good. “So be perfect,” says Jesus, “just as your heavenly

Father is perfect” (5:48). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Take no revenge and cherish no

grudge; love your neighbor as yourself

(Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18).

Psalm — The Lord is kind and merciful (Psalm 103).

Second Reading — You are the temple of God, and

holy (1 Corinthians 3:16-23).

Gospel — Offer no resistance; love your enemies

(Matthew 5:38-48). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997,

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

Wednesday: Ash Wednesday; Fast and Abstinence

ASH WEDNESDAY

Prayer, fasting, and almsgiving: these

disciplines, prescribed by Jesus himself in the Sermon

on the Mount, along with strict instructions not to flaunt

them in public to win recognition and praise (Matthew

6:1-18), have been embraced by all the saints at the

beginning of every Lent for almost two thousand years.

But mention Lent, and many react with a grimace or

slight shudder—even now, years after official

obligations have been reduced to a minimum! No

wonder the Eastern Rite’s “Lenten Announcement”

sounds surprising: “Let us receive with joy, O faithful

people, the divinely inspired announcement of Lent! The

Lenten Spring shines forth! Begin the fast with joy! Let

us fast from passions as well as food, taking pleasure in

the good works of the Spirit, and accomplishing them in

love!” Saint John Chrysostom, whose feast is September

13, elaborates: “Do you fast? Give proof by your works.

If you see a poor person, take pity. An enemy, be

reconciled. A friend gaining honor, don’t be jealous.” A

positive approach! May the saints help us keep such a

Lent! —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

FORGIVENESS

People who cannot forgive others break the

bridge over which they must pass if they are to reach

heaven; for everyone has a need to be forgiven. —George Herbert

STRONG BELIEFS

Strong beliefs win strong people and make them

stronger. —Walter Bagehot

FORGIVING AN ENEMY

Who has not forgiven an enemy has not yet

tasted one of the most sublime enjoyments of life. —Johann Kaspar Lavater

REPENTANCE

Of all human acts, repentance is the most divine.

The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none. —Thomas Carlyle

Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time

February 23, 2020

Be holy, for I, the LORD, your God, am holy.

— Leviticus 19:2b

have ideas and suggestions?

Please come to an open meeting at St. Hubert

Parish Hall to participate in a discussion of

how we can improve to better serve our
