1 St. Charles Borromeo Church Sunday, February 10, 2019 The Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Volume 44 Number 6 His grace to me has not been ineffective. (1 Corinthians 15:10) God s grace seems to be all over today s readings, doesn t it? It was grace that burned away Isaiah s sin and turned him into one of the most important prophets in Israel s history. It was grace that stopped St. Paul dead in his tracks when he was on his way to imprison Christians and turned him into one of the greatest evangelists of all time. And it was grace that brought Peter to his knees before Jesus and turned this brusque fisherman into a humble fisher of men and leader of the early Church. Clearly, God s grace was not ineffective in these men s lives! How about you? Can you point to ways that God s grace has been not ineffective in you? It doesn t have to be as dramatic as the conversions experienced by Peter or Paul or Isaiah. It doesn t have to be dramatic at all! Of course, it s wonderful when that happens, but God s grace more often resembles a gently flowing stream than a mighty surging ocean. For example, think about those times when you felt especially close to God during a Mass or in a time of prayer. That s grace. Or what about that twinge of conscience that led you to the confessional after a long absence? That s grace. Remember that time when you found it easier to forgive someone than you thought it would be? That too is grace. Anything that brings you closer to God or moves you further from sin is the result of God pouring his grace into your heart. Anything that makes you more loving, kind, and compassionate comes from his grace. In fact, if you were to stop and review your day, you d probably find that his grace was all around you. Today is a new day and the beginning of a new week. Take advantage of this fresh start. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your eyes to all the grace that God has stored up for you this week. And when you find that grace, welcome it with your heart. Let it be not ineffective. Jesus, teach me to open my heart to your grace! The Word Among Us Daily Meditation (February 10, 2019)
