Dear Parishioners and Visitors, after the heavenly Adam, Jesus ancient martyrs like Stephen, Christ. Agatha, Agnes, or Polycarp. Or Hey Y'all, more modern saints like St. And then in the Gospel reading Maximillian Kolbe, or St. Maria As you're reading these words, it's today, we are taught by Jesus to Goretti. or even some folks who the weekend of the 7th Sunday in love our enemies, do good for our haven't been canonized but were Ordinary Time on the Roman enemies, give freely to our enemies, sacrificed like Christ- Frs.

3 Rufus church 's calendar. In today's turn the other cheek to our Halley or Jacque Hamel or Frans readings, we're tracking through enemies. This isn't what the 1st van der Lugt. some fundamental stories to help Adam above would do. It's not form us as Christians. These what any modern day Adam or I'm not saying that martyrdom readings appear to be simple, but earthly Eve would do! They would should be the goal of taking Jesus they're not easy. see love of themselves as the literally, at His word. But loving greatest good and would take an radically while following Jesus'. The 1st reading this Sunday tells the eye for an eye and a tooth for a example is the goal of being story of David being faithful and tooth.

4 Heck, they'd take an eye and Christian. This is the message you merciful in his complicated a tooth for a perceived slander. should consider on this 7th Sunday relationship with King Saul. Even That attitude or worldview can't be in Ordinary time. It's the message though David is given what looks to ours. we should strive to live each and be an opportunity to overcome an every day. enemy and thus win the throne, We are told by Jesus that loving all, David prefers mercy and honors even our enemies, well, this is just God bless you! Saul, the one he sees not as an what we must do! Now before you enemy but as God's anointed one. say it's impossible to love in this Fr.

5 Reynold This theme of loving and honoring way, have you spent time praying one's enemies will come up again. for your enemies? Not just a quick I kept mentioning the 7th Hail Mary with the intention that Sunday in Ordinary time above. The second reading is something of lightning might strike. But really That's because I'm already thinking an ironic compare and contrast pouring out your feelings about about Lent. Ash Wednesday is just between Adam the 1st and Adam your enemy to God. Think of the a few weeks away. We've got a the 2nd, Jesus. Adam the 1st Psalms. The psalmist was always little Mardi Gras themed dinner was earthly to the point of the full of angst over enemies.

6 Maybe coming up. And then Lent will be corruption of sin, willfully and you could ask God to help you with here with Fish Fryin' Fridays, Taize proudly gained, but ruefully and such heavenly love. Maybe you prayer time, some mini parish regrettably condemned. But Adam could also think of any number of missions. Honestly, I'm not usually the 2nd (Jesus) was heavenly, Saints who showed us that loving a fan of Lent. But this year, I'm generously sacrificing himself to enemies even to the point of self- excited. So keep living as save us from corruption, sin, regret, sacrifice can be done. Think of Christians in the meantime, and guilt, condemnation, death and together we'll be ready to begin ourselves.

7 So by logical extension, Lent with the best mindset and we would be wise to pattern our most open hearts ever! lives, our thoughts and our actions 02 February 20, 2022. THE WEEK AHEAD.
