WORDS FROM OUR SHEPHERD
Of the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church, I believe the Sacrament of Reconciliation is one of the Sacraments that some of us tend to receive less often than others. Outside of Eucharist, Reconciliation is
probably offered the most. Yet as compared to Eucharist, Reconciliation is a far distant second. Is the amount of sin down in the world? Not at all! There is more sin present in the world than ever before. Are the people in the world treating each other better? I do not think I have to answer that question, because the answer is quite prevalent. Then what is keeping us from the Sacrament of Reconciliation?
Here are three reasons, I think, why people have stopped going to Reconciliation:
1. There is no such thing as sin.
I think it was Pope Pius XII who stated that “God does not take sin as lightly as we do.” We are led to believe that sin does not exist in the world any longer. That is the commentary that society—pushing their agenda on whatever we want to do is not a sin—no matter what the church says. (a) We have been led to believe that attending Mass is optional; (b) Living together as a married couple, outside of marriage, is fine; and (c) The world is all about me—is how we should live. As Catholics, we know those three comments are false and that we need to go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation prior to receiving Communion.
2. With everything out in the open, we have been bombarded by so many sinful things, we think it is normal and have now become immune.
February 20, 2022 Page 3
We cannot watch television, check out the Internet, read or hear about the latest news without hearing about violence, war and the inhumane things being done to people. The movies or television shows we watch have more sex and violence than one person could imagine. So, we believe that if it is “out there,” it cannot be sinful.
3. That Reconciliation (Confession) is passé. We have been led to believe that Reconciliation is not needed since we can talk to God directly from the forest or at the beach! We can talk to God from any location. Unfortunately, for a serious sin to be forgiven, one must go to a priest. I wonder if part of the reason there is an increase in the number of people seeing mental health professionals is because we need to get sinful things off our chest?
Have a Blessed week! Fr. Bill

LOVE AS GOD LOVES
Our Gospel today con nues Jesus’ Sermon on the Plain, in which we heard Luke’s version of the Bea tudes. This week, Jesus gives us new “commandments,” telling us how to live and act in the world as his disciples, rooted in the radical love of God for humanity. It reminds us of his later speech about loving one another as he loves us, in other words with a God‐like love, the kind we see in today’s psalm about God’s mercy. How else could we do as Jesus tells us by loving our enemies, which seems impossible, un l we remember that God gave us the example of Jesus, who is like God but also like us? David understands this merciful love when he spares the life of his enemy in the first reading. Finally, Paul tells us that we will become like Jesus if we act as he did, as God does. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
This week’s calendar appears at first to have a feast day for a piece of furniture: the Chair of Peter. In fact, it func ons as a kind of ecclesial “Presidents’ Day.” The church day points to Peter, but just as Presidents’ Day began with Washington’s birthday and now includes all presidents, this day cele‐brates the Petrine ministry: Peter’s apostolic presidency passed down in our tradi on as an essen al aspect of Catholic iden ty. May‐be the day should be sub tled “Popes’ Day.” As for the “chair” itself, it can be traced to the house of Priscilla and Aquila in ancient Rome. Peter sat there to instruct the faithful and to receive the newly bap zed. When Chris anity became legal, the house was transformed into a place for public prayer, and soon the chair was transported to the tomb of St. Peter on the Va can hill. Over the centuries, the hill was leveled, but the tomb and the chair were preserved. Today, it is said that the chair from that ancient Roman community is raised high above the altar in St. Peter’s, clearly visible just beneath the oval window showing the descent of the Holy Spirit. The symbol of the chair reminds the current occupant of the Petrine office of his du es to shepherd the flock by clear teaching and by building up the unity of the Church. Last year, on this very day, Pope Benedict XVI named fi een new cardinals as an expression of this pasto‐ral care for the unity of the Church, drawing them from a variety of cultures everywhere around the globe. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
