Seventh Sunday in Ordinary Time February 24, 2019
In the Gospel of Luke this weekend, Jesus challenges us: “I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.” These words are difficult for us to hear, aren’t they? These thoughts of Jesus utterly reverse human thinking about enemies and forgiveness. These words spell out the way God sees things, holding nothing against us despite all our failings. These words spell out how Jesus lived and died. These words were blessed by his Father and brought him into eternal life. Our world can be transformed dramatically if we take Jesus’ teachings seriously. Our task is to collaborate with him and to live on a higher level of loving than we can ever imagine. When we go beyond what we can imagine, we go beyond what we think is possible, we open up a new life for ourselves. We are to go beyond loving our neighbors as ourselves. We are to go beyond loving only those who love me, beyond only loving people who are nice back to us. Loving our enemies - how radical is that? As we hear this radical message of what discipleship is about, we cele-brate two members of our community here at St Jude. Bishop Latino estab-lished the Bishop Chanche award to recognize adults and youth who show ex-emplary service at the parish and or diocesan level in the areas of evangeliza-tion, faith formation and service to the community. Each parish in the Diocese can nominate one adult and one youth for this award. We have so many here at St Jude who contribute so much to our parish, our Diocese, and our com-munity. This weekend, Kathleen Edwards and Dominic Lopez receive the Bish-op Chanche award from Bishop Kopacz. We celebrate with them and their families as we give thanks for their spirit of Christ’s love. I also want to thank everyone who is participating in our ALPHA evangeli-zation program this winter. We are having our ALPHA retreat this week-end. Please pray for all who are participating in ALPHA: the coordinators, ta-ble leaders and helpers, hospitality leaders, and music ministers. I am hearing so many positive things about ALPHA here at St Jude. We pray for the won-derful spirit that is it bringing our parish.
