Margaret Ludden, Robert Walsh, Patricia Klenck, Gina Brettman Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time In the first reading, Isaiah is given a vision of the majesty of God and the glory of the heavenly kingdom. He is immediately conscious of his own sinfulness and his unworthiness. God forgives his sin. Isaiah responds joyfully that he is willing to go out and serve the Lord. In the second reading, St. Paul tells the Corinthians to hold fast to the word that they received from him, namely that Christ died for our sins, rose on the third day and appeared to the disciples. Christ appeared to Paul to pass on the fullness of his word so that he might proclaim the grace of God to all. The gospel story takes place by the side of the lake. Peter and his friends have been fishing all night but have not caught anything. Jesus gives them a miraculous catch so full that the nets are breaking. Peter professes his sinfulness and receives Christ s commission to be a fisher of men. Immediately Peter, James and John leave everything behind to follow him. Isaiah 6:1-2a, Corinthians 15:1-11 Luke 5:1-11 The Girl Scouts will be selling cookies in the vestibule after all masses next weekend February 16 / 17, Do You have a favorite cookie? Stop by to pick up a box or two. Selling cookies teaches goal setting, decision making, money management, people skills, and business ethics aspects essential to leadership, to success, and to life

3 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 3 From the Pastor s Desk Today s readings focus primarily on our response to God s call to discipleship. We are awestruck when we experience the glory and majesty of God. We are convicted of the dual realization of both our own insignificance in relation to the immensity of God; at the same time we are caught up in the immensity of a love that proclaims that no one is insignificant in the eyes of God. It is this overwhelming sense of God s compassion and love that enables us to respond with joy to go out and proclaim the good news. Isaiah begins with his experience: In the year King Uzziah died I saw the Lord. He had a life-changing experience that immediately convicted him of sin. Woe is me for I am doomed! For I am a man of unclean lips. In the presence of the Lord, he realizes his own finitude. This terrifying experience allows him to be open to the grace of God. Caught up in the mystery of God, he experiences forgiveness. The seraph tells him that his wickedness is removed and his sin purged. Isaiah s response is to tell the Lord, Here I am. Send me. St. Peter has the same experience at the Lake of Gennesaret. As an experienced fisherman, he knows the best time to fish is at night. But he has caught nothing. The next morning Jesus tells him to lower the nets. Peter knows that it is the wrong time to fish, yet he listens to Jesus and lowers the nets. The catch of fish is so large that it tears the nets. Peter witnesses this miracle and is immediately overcome with his own sense of unworthiness. He falls to his knees declaring, Depart from me Lord for I am a sinful man. Jesus shows him the compassion and mercy of God. Though Peter is a sinful man (he doubts the reality of God s Word), Jesus forgives him by saying do not be afraid. He commissions him to be a fisher of men. Peter immediately leaves everything behind to follow him. The scriptures tell us that once convicted, the prophets, apostles and holy ones were no longer concerned about themselves. Rather it was the reality of God that impelled them to go out and tell the good news. No longer selfabsorbed, they were free to give themselves to others. The truth is that for the most part we are both good people and sinners. Salvation is a free gift. We are justified by God s grace alone. St. Paul tells us to hold fast to the word that was preached to them, namely the reality of the redemption. He says that it is of first importance that they receive what he himself received. Recall that it was Paul s experience on the road to Damascus where he was caught up in the glory of God, receiving the full revelation of God s majesty and compassion. Isaiah, Paul and Peter all stood in the presence of mystery, a personal encounter with God. They were overcome with a sense of awe, a conviction of unworthiness and an experience of forgiveness. As a result they were able to go out and transform the world. Our religious tradition, especially the sacraments, is an invitation to experience this mystery. To feel wonder in God s presence is to experience unworthiness and forgiveness. And it is out of this experience that we let go of our own ego and go out to proclaim the good news. The Mass ends with: Let us go forth to love and serve the Lord by loving and serving one another. Lent will be here in just three weeks. We might prepare for this holy season by asking ourselves if, and how, we have experienced the mystery of God; if, and how, this experience has resulted in personal conversion; and what evidence is there in the way we live that the love of God impels us to imitate the paschal mystery. Thank you to Deacon Bill for hosting the Family Blanket Challenge on Friday to provide prayer blankets for the sick, homebound, the newly baptized and the preemies at Loyola Hospital NICU Unit. Thanks to the Parents Association for hosting Bingo Night on Saturday. We hope to have some pictures and updates in the near future. The Girl Scouts will be hosting their Cookie Sale next weekend after all the masses. Proceeds go to support some wonderful programs. We can also buy cookies to donate to our military. This is a great way to help two very special organizations without hurting our waistlines. Today we begin the Annual Catholic Appeal with Cardinal Cupich s homily. He invites us to share in this mission, to Come and Follow Me, taking up Jesus mission to proclaim the good news to all people. Cardinal Cupich invites us to share his work, we are called to open our hearts to the needs of the poor. Proceeds help fund poor parishes and schools, social justice works of the Church in Chicago and programs to bring the Gospel to others in the Archdiocese and around the world. Please consider a generous pledge to support Archbishop Cupich and the Annual Catholic Appeal. Have a great week. Sincerely, Fr. Neil
