Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today’s readings draw us into age-less, vibrant depths. Followers of God’s law, we belong to ancient traditions. Children of God, we marvel at the freshness of creation. The Old Testament readings, from Sirach and the Psalms, celebrate the rich blessings we receive when we observe God’s com-mands—not because we are slaves to the law, but because the law gives life in abun-dance. Saint Paul’s Letter to the Corinthians confirms the glory of divine law, but warns that God’s ways tend to be unpopular and misunderstood in this world. Paul speaks of the ancient wisdom of God, which is mysteriously both “hidden” and “revealed.” God does not have secret codes that we earthly mortals cannot un-derstand; in love, God reveals the glory of the divine way in Jesus. Saint Matthew’s Gospel emphasizes the im-portance of living in God’s law, enlivened by a deep and personal relationship with Jesus.

THE RULERS OF THIS AGE Saint Paul speaks of both the “wisdom of this age” and the “rulers of this age.” He refers specifically to the so-called wise people and institutions responsible for unjustly condemning Jesus to death. As we mourn the human sin that killed Jesus two thousand years ago, we also consider contemporary errors and evils that wound the Body of Christ in our own age. We easily recognize the crimes of our leaders. Religious, corporate, and gov-ernment institutions have inflicted suffering on countless innocent souls. The depth of our modern-day failures threatens us with despair. But Jesus calls us to renewed faithfulness and hope. Jesus tells us to “surpass” our lead-ers in righteousness. He instructs us to simplify our own lives: “Let your ‘Yes’ mean ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No’ mean ‘No.’ Anything more is from the evil one.” We are right to work against the sins of our leaders, but we must also scrutinize our own lives and make peace with our fami-lies, neighbors, and coworkers.

PASSING AWAY There is some urgency in Christ’s call to holiness. Everything in this age is passing away. Jesus’ call is time-ly and radical, pleading with us to drop other business and make reconciliation a priority. The Lord actually says to “leave your gift at the altar” and return to worship after making peace with the adversaries in our lives. Jesus is deadly serious about the need for reconciliation and right-eousness, insisting that nothing—not even our eyes and arms—are worth more than love. All of today’s readings reflect on the deep connection between God’s law and healthy, peaceful love. As Saint Paul says in Romans 13:10, “love is the fulfillment of the law.” Here in the twenty-first century, we modern disciples of Christ can cultivate that mystery deep in our hearts, nurturing the tremendous twin gifts of God’s love and God’s law, of-fered to us freely to help us sustain a healthy and holy Body of Christ. Today’s Readings: Sir 15:15–20; Ps 119:1–2, 4–5, 17–18, 33–34; 1 Cor 2:6–10; Mt 5:17–37 [20–22a, 27–28, 33–34a, 37] Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Sexto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario LOS GOBERNANTES DE ESTE TIEMPO San Pablo habla tanto de la “sabiduría de este tiempo” como de “aquellos que dominan al mundo”. Él se refiere específicamente a los sabios y las instituciones responsables de condenar injustamente a muerte a Jesús. Aun-que nos lamentamos el pecado humano que mató a Jesús hace dos mil años, también con-sideramos errores y males actuales que hieren

el cuerpo de Cristo en nuestro tiempo. Fácilmente recono-cemos los crímenes de nuestros líderes. Religiosos, em-presariales e instituciones gubernamentales han causado sufrimiento en incontables almas inocentes. La profundi-dad de nuestros fracasos actuales nos amenaza con el desánimo. Pero Jesús nos llama a una fidelidad y esperan-za renovadas. Jesús nos dice que “superemos” a nuestros líderes en la justicia. Él nos instruye a simplificar nuestras propias vidas. “Deja que tu ‘sí’ sean un ‘sí’ y tu ‘no’ sea un ‘no’. Cualquier otra cosa viene del mal.” Estamos en lo correcto cuando trabajamos en contra de los pecados de nuestros líderes, pero también debemos analizar nues-tras propias vidas y hacer las paces con nuestras familias, vecinos y compañeros de trabajo. AL FALLECER

Hay algo de urgencia en la invitación de Cristo a la santidad. Todo en este tiempo muere. La llamada de Jesús es oportuna y radical, una súplica para dejar otros asuntos y hacer una prioridad la reconciliación. El Señor de hecho dice “deja tu ofrenda en el altar” y regresa a la alabanza después de que hagas las paces con tus adversa-rios de nuestra vida. Jesús toma muy en serio la necesidad de reconciliación y justicia, insistiendo que nada, ni si-quiera nuestros ojos y brazos, valen más que el amor. To-das las lecturas de hoy muestran la profunda conexión entre la ley de Dios y un amor saludable y pacífico. Como dice san Pablo en Romanos 13:10 “el amor es la plenitud de la ley”. Aquí en el siglo XXI, nosotros, discípulos mo-dernos de Cristo podemos cultivar ese misterio profundo en nuestros corazones, alimentando los enormes dones gemelos del amor de Dios y su ley, ofrecida a nosotros libremente para ayudarnos a sostener un cuerpo de Cristo santo y saludable. Lecturas de hoy: Eclo 15:15–20; Sal 119 (118):1–2, 4–5, 17–18, 33–34; 1 Cor 2:6–10; Mt 5:17–37 [20–22a, 27–28, 33–34a, 37] Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

The Seven Penitential Psalms

The Seven Penitential Psalms of the Suffering Servant from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah are traditionally used for meditation and prayer during Lent. During times when we wish to express repentance and especially during Lent, it is customary to pray the seven penitential psalms. The penitential designation of these psalms dates from the seventh cen-tury. Prayerfully reciting these psalms will help us to recognize our sinfulness, express our sorrow and ask for God’s forgiveness. Included below are written reflections to encourage the practice of Lectio Divina or “divine reading,” a way of praying with Scripture that calls one to listen to, study, contemplate and thoughtfully assimilate God's Word.

Psalm 6 Psalm 51 Psalm 143 Psalm 32 Psalm 102 Psalm 38 Psalm 130

Psalm 6 —Prayer in Distress The Psalms stand against the human impulse to merit God’s love and mercy through goodness or obedience. A part of us clings to the naïve notion that God’s love for us is tied to our behavior: good behavior earns God’s love and ac-ceptance; bad behavior means divine rejection. That’s a diabolical lie and the psalmist knows it. Instead, eyes wide open and looking in the mirror, the psalmist readily admits his sin and begs God’s mercy anyway. Sin darkens human vision and alienates the soul from God, self, and others. Sin’s greatest danger is its ability to make us doubt God’s love and willingness to forgive. The psalmist’s saving grace is his refusal to let sin drive that wedge between him and the Lord; in fact, it’s his painful awareness of his sin that draws the psalmist nearer. We often think we can approach God only when we’re “good” and have our lives in order. But it’s sin God rejects, not the sinner. The psalmist knows if we waited for a worthy” time, we’d never pray. So we don’t defer prayer; we don’t wait till God “is in a better mood.” At work, we might rely on a spike in sales to incline the boss to mercy, but our God has never been that kind of God. Scripture tells us to pray whenever there is the need. And need is greatest when we are mired in sin. In his mercy, God does not spare us the consequences of sin. To spur our prayer, to draw us closer when we might other-wise sulk or hide, God lets sin impact our lives. Sin’s consequence is not God’s punishment, but the natural result of our decisions that, in his love, God uses for our good (if we let him). The psalmist is well aware that his own sin has brought both physical distress and the attack of enemies into his life. Yet he prays unashamedly. As a child who has dis-regarded a parent’s injunction to not venture far from home comes running back when the playground bully threatens, the psalmist knows where home is. He knows where to find the strong arms and loving embrace of a God who eventual-ly would send his own Son to save us—not when we were finally worthy, but while we were still steeped in sin. Questions for Reflection: St. Paul says that God “proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8). So why do we keep thinking that God will love us only when we stop sinning? On the other hand, does knowledge of God’s unconditional love mean we needn’t worry about sinning? Is the destruc-tiveness of sin related to the effects it has on God or to the effects it has on us? Besides petitionary prayer, there are prayers of praise, thanksgiving, adoration, etc. Does a prayer of petition, asking for mercy and the forgiveness of sin, seem to you like a lower, less enlightened form of prayer? How can you combine peti-tion and praise? http://usccb.org/ Next week Psalm 32.

Responsibilities to God:

Have I prayed every day? Have I prayed my morning prayers and night prayers? Have I prayed with my parents and family? Have I been moody and rebellious about praying and going to church on Sunday? Have I asked the Holy Spirit to help me whenever I have been tempted to sin? Have I asked the Holy Spirit to help me do what is right?

Responsibilities to others: Have I been obedient and respectful to my parents? Have I lied or been deceitful to them or to others? Have I been arrogant, stubborn or rebellious? Copyright, Fr. Thomas Weinandy. This resource may be reproduced

Have I talked back to parents, teachers or other adults? Have I pouted and been moody? Have I been selfish toward my parents, brothers, and sis-ters, teachers, or my friends and schoolmates? Have I gotten angry at them? Have I hit anyone? Have I held grudges or not forgiven others? Have I treated other children with respect or have I made fun of them and called them names? Have I used bad language? Have I stolen anything? Have I returned it? Have I performed my responsibilities, such as homework and household chores? Have I been helpful and affectionate toward my family? Have I been kind and generous with my friends?

THE CHAIR OF ST. PETER THE APOSTLE February 22 In brushing up for “Catholic Jeopardy,” it might help to know that there is only one feast on the calendar for a thing, rather than a person or mystery. It’s for a chair: Saint Peter’s chair in fact. After the Resurrection, there can be no doubt that the disciples reserved a special place for Simon Peter in the upper room. Later, Peter became the bishop of Antioch in today’s Syria, the place where we were first called Christians. From there, he went to Rome, the center of the Empire, where it is said that Peter sat in a chair in the house of Priscilla and Aquila to instruct his flock. Jesus, in entrusting the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and his successors, entrusted his compassion and mercy to them, and charged them with pointing to the Kingdom of God. Compassion and mercy are to resonate through their teaching. Since the ancient sign of a teacher is the chair (“disciple” literally means one who sits at the feet of a teach-er), Peter’s chair has long been treasured. Today there is a symbolic shrine of Peter’s chair above the main al-tar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. This monument is the last work of Bernini, a huge bronze throne supported by four doctors of the Church: Augustine and Ambrose from the Western Church, and Chrysostom and Atha-nasius from the East. High above it is the alabaster window of the descent of the Holy Spirit. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
