Third Sunday in Ordinary Time (01-23-2022)

As people, we are made in the image and likeness of God. We have an innate dignity that drives not from what we do or from our outward appearance, but from our relationship with God. God gave us laws to live good lives. The law of God delights the human hearts and guides as the steps of our lives. The readings of today speak of the fulfillment of God’s promises.
The first reading recounts the ceremonial instructions for receiving God’s law. Nehemiah, Ezra, and others urge the people to rejoice and not to be sad. When Ezra read to them the Scriptures, they wept first with lament at their failures, and then with joy in their understanding of God’s love for them, and his promises of redemption. In the second reading, St. Paul instructs the Corinthians, using the image of the body to describe the Church and explaining that each person has a role in it. And also he urges them and us to remember we are a part of the Body of Christ, regardless of our individual gifts and differences. In the Gospel, Jesus reads from the book of the Prophet Isaiah in the Synagogue in Nazareth and proclaims, TODAY THIS SCRIPTURE PASSAGE IS FULFILLED IN YOUR HEARING. Here St. Luke begins by underlining the importance of the fulfillment of the scriptures and of passing teachings to new believers.
The main purpose of St. Luke, the evangelist to write this Gospel, a narrative of events regarding Jesus Christ that will draw from the memories of those who witnessed his life, death, and resurrection and those who have handed on his teachings to further generations. The Gospel message reminds us of God’s mercy and challenges us to live in Christ.
We see that God fulfilled his promises. He never failed to keep his promises faithfully. This is the God to whom we belong. This is the Christ who fulfills the law of love and embodies the promises of eternal life. This is the Holy Spirit who anointed and sanctified us to belong into the body of Christ. We are also one body, one spirit in Christ. Each and every one of us has our own specific, unique contribution to make to the body of Christ. All while mindful that, as Paul says, if one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it; if one part is honored, all the parts share its joy.
May the grace of the Sacrament we celebrate today strengthen each one of us, and the entire body as a whole, for the good of the world and for the greater glory of God. We are all blessed to be part of the body of Christ, the Church.

Parish Life
Regarding parish life, the Archbishop encouraged pastors and priests to move forward with parish activities, including in-person gathering for all ages while observing the health and safety restrictions of the state. Whenever possible, we need to prudently proceed with the life of the Church. We need to focus our efforts on strengthening the faith of our people, especially the religious knowledge and faith of our children. In these unique times, our church may become poorer and smaller, but more fervent.          
 

Dear Parishioners and Friends,
