San Pedro Catholic Church January 20th & 21st, 2018 THE DEMANDS OF DISCIPLESHIP Today we encounter readings that already have a Lenten feel about them. Nineveh undergoes a forty-day fast, the psalmist reminds us that God alone can show sinners the way, Paul shows us how fleeting the things and events of this world are, and Jesus cries out Repent! before he calls his new followers. Come after me, Jesus says, but if we are to truly live out the commands and demands of our discipleship through baptism, we must first know our need for conversion, our repentance, our need to believe in the gospel fully. Today s Gospel opens with the stark reminder of what befell John the Baptist for completely living out his vocation as the herald of Christ and the gospel: he was arrested, imprisoned, and martyred. Though few of us will experience consequences that extreme, we must all be ready to risk some sort of rejection as, heeding the call of Jesus, we live out the kingdom of God at hand, repent of our sins, and believe in the good news of salvation. Saints And Special Observances Sunday: Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children Tuesday: St. Vincent; Saint Marianne Cope Wednesday: St. Francis de Sales Thursday: The Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle Friday: Ss. Timothy and Titus Saturday: St. Angela Merici; Blessed Virgin Mary TODAY S READINGS First Reading- The people of Nineveh believed God and turned from their evil ways (Jonah 3:1-5, 10). Psalm- Teach me your ways, O Lord (Psalm 25). Second Reading- The world in its present form is passing away (1 Corinthians 7:29-31). Gospel- This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand (Mark 1:14-20). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 2 Sm 5:1-7, 10; Ps 89:20-22, 25-26; Mk 3:22-30 Tuesday: 2 Sm 6:12b-15, 17-19; Ps 24:7-10; Mk 3:31-35 Wednesday: 2 Sm 7:4-17; Ps 89:4-5, 27-30; Mk 4:1-20 Thursday: Acts 22:3-16 or Acts 9:1-22; Ps 117:1bc, 2; Mk 16:15-18 Friday: 2 Tm 1:1-8 or Ti 1:1-5; Ps 51:3-7, 10-11; Mk 4:26-34 Saturday: 2 Sm 12:1-7a, 10-17; Ps 51:12-17; Mk 4:35-41 Sunday: Dt 18:15-20; Ps 95:1-2, 6-9; 1 Cor 7:32-35; Mk 1:21-28 GIFT What I am is God s gift to me. What I become is my gift back to God. Anonymous TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION One of the most unusual Catholic churches in the world is in Amsterdam: Our Lord in the Attic, or as the locals say, Ons Lieve Heer op Solder. What looks like a beautiful narrow brick mansion alongside a canal is a clever disguise for a very well-preserved seventeenth-century home and a secret church. During the Reformation, the Netherlands was divided into Protestant Holland and the Spanish Netherlands, now known as Belgium, a Catholic stronghold. Protestant reformers seized all the Catholic parishes in Holland and de-catholicized them. New laws forbade the celebration of the Mass in public. St. Nicholas Church was renamed Old Church by the new owners, and the dispossessed Catholics got to work hiding St. Nicholas Parish in the upper floors of this mansion. Other Catholics did the same thing, but this is the only hidden church that survives today. Sunday Mass is still celebrated here. It s a beautiful hideaway, with nothing spared in regard to marble, gilding, a pipe organ, and classic Dutch painting. A few steps away, the Old Church, begun in 1250, stands emptied of the statues and carvings of its Catholic days, its windows replaced by plain glass. The new tenants gave up when it came to the ceiling, which is still painted with saints, biblical scenes, and merchant ships. The Dutch reformers were tolerant sorts, and as long as the Catholics kept out of sight, they were out of mind. Catholicism was at last tolerated in Holland after 1853, but in 1924 when the International Eucharistic Congress was held in Amsterdam, processions of Catholics were still forbidden in the streets. Today, Roman Catholics are about 19 percent of the population, and there s no need for any of them to hide in the attic.

By supporting the works of our Archdiocese and the mission of the Church here in South Florida, you will answer God s call to love and to serve those in need: Those who are without shelter or food, those who are sick or dying, women in crisis, immigrants, children and young adults. Your gift is also and investment in the future by supporting the training of our future priests and deacons. In a word, your gift transforms lives, displays compassion and serves as a living testimony of your faith. Jesus calls us to be instruments of hope and, through the ABCD, to Give Light, Give Love and Give Life. The ABCD Gives Light by introducing others to Jesus as missionaries of hope. ABCD Gives Love by action, a deed by giving away of oneself as Jesus gave himself away. ABCD Gives Life through Catholic education, engaging our youth and young adults and defending the dignity of all human life. Next week, every parish in the Archdiocese will unite to ask our Catholic community to support this year s ABCD by making a gift. I as that you prayerfully consider making a gift, whether by responding to the Archbishop's letter, making a gift online at www.isupportabcd.org or turning in your pledge envelope at the Church.
