LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR

Dear Parishioners, I invite you to extend a warm welcome

to our visiting priest who will be with us at all

our Masses next weekend. Father Greg Schmitt, C.SsR. (a Redemptorist Priest) will

celebrate Mass and speak to us about Unbound, an organization that reaches out to the poor and marginalized in the world.

Father Greg Schmitt is a priest living in Chicago at St. Michael's Parish on the north-

side. He is a member of the Redemptorist preaching team. He preaches at parish

missions and also preaches for Unbound. He will share his experience with you and I ask that you give him a warm and hospitable

welcome from our parish communities as I know that you always do to those who are

visiting with us. I thank you in advance for your openness to receive him into our parish families.

Blessings, Father Rob

2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 49:3, 5-6 A Light to the Nations

Imagine God telling you, “Job well done! Congratulations!” How proud we would

be to know that God’s favor had rested on us.

Imagine God saying next, “Because

you did so well with this task, I want to give you something more to do.” Would you gulp

in apprehension? Would you calmly accept the new directions? Or would you take on the new task with excitement?

In Isaiah’s prophecy, God tells Israel, “You are my servant.” These words

comforted the chosen people because it reminded them that God proudly kept their friendship. But God went on. “It is too little

for you to be my servant. … I will make you a light to the nations.” Ancient Israel would

show not just their own people but also other nations how to walk in the light of God.

For Christians, this prophecy points

ahead to Jesus, who became known as God’s servant at his baptism. Jesus won God’s

pleasure as the longed-for Messiah. But God asked for something more—for Jesus to save

all the nations. Jesus opened wide God’s doors of salvation. He accepted God’s task.

What about you? What task have you

done that makes God proud? Is God asking you for something more? What might that

be?

1 Corinthians 1:1-3

Checking the Roadmap

If you veer off course, you check the map or get directions. If you want to get to your destination, you need to remember

where your destination is. It also helps to remember why you are going there, in case

you get tired along the way. St. Paul wrote letters to the

Corinthians in Greece because they were

getting off course. He reminded them about the basics of the Christian life, and answered

a few of their specific questions. Paul had spent a year and a half with this community on his missionary journeys. He stayed at the

home of Aquila and Priscilla, who had emigrated there from Rome during the

persecution of Claudius. Paul shared faith, ethnicity, and occupation with Aquila: They were tentmakers (Acts 18:1-11).

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 14/15, 2017

Now Paul had moved on, but some

problems had surfaced with this community

after he left. Now he sat down with his friend Sosthenes and wrote a letter to the

Corinthians. He starts with a brief glimpse at the

roadmap. He writes the letter “to you who

have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy, with all those everywhere who call

upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” There was bickering within the church at Corinth. People complained about everything

from liturgy to hair to food. Paul reminded them that they are holy and all who believe

in Christ are holy. Whenever any church community veers off course, it’s good to look back at the map.
