TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The one who trusts in the Lord is like a tree planted beside the waters (Jeremiah 17:5-8). Psalm — Blessed are they who hope in the Lord (Psalm 1). Second Reading — Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fall-en asleep (1 Corinthians 15:12, 16-20). Gospel — Blessed are you who are poor, hungry, weeping. Woe to you who are rich, filled, laughing (Luke 6:17, 20-26).

BLESSED When we think of the word “Beatitude” we think of today’s discourse from Luke’s Gospel, or the more familiar one from Matthew (which begins “Blessed are the poor in spirit . . . ”). Actually, beatitudes occur throughout the prophets and Gospels. Today in Jeremiah (with an echo in the psalm) we hear, “Blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord” (Jeremiah 17:7). Following his resurrection in John’s Gospel, Christ proclaims, “Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed” (John 20:29). The evangelists placed these sayings throughout the Gospels as short re-minders about the characteristics that one will find in a fol-lower of Christ, characteristics that will help spread the Good News in this life and lead to eternal blessings in the next. In Latin, the saints are called the Beati, the “Blessed,” for they are the ones who lived the “blessed” life as de-scribed by Jesus throughout the Gospels. How blest are we, when we also strive to make our own days a living beati-tude! Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES

Sunday: Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time Monday: Presidents’ Day Thursday: St. Peter Damian Friday: Chair of St. Peter the Apostle; Washington’s Birthday Saturday: St. Polycarp February 22. Every cathedral has a “cathedra,” a bishop’s chair that is used

only by the bishop when he presides in the cathedral. It’s a symbol of his authority as chief teacher and liturgist of the diocese. So, on this day we celebrate the authority of the chief bishop, Saint Peter and his successors, the popes.

Our SCRIP Contest runs through Feb. 24! This encompasses Valentine’s Day. Keep in mind that we have gift cards for restaurants, massages, movies and jewelry among other great gift ideas.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In recent years, there has been remarkable progress in drawing persons with disabilities into full celebration. Now it is generally accepted that worship places need accommodations such as ramps or elevators, large-print materials for those who are sight-impaired, and perhaps even an assisted hearing system or signing in American Sign Language. American Sign Language is not merely English translated into movement, but a distinct language with its own grammar, syntax (word order), and vocabulary. For this reason, the American Catholic bishops have approved American Sign Language (ASL) as an official language of the liturgy. Celebrating liturgy in our own language (the vernacular) means that liturgy must be accessible to all languages and cultures. The fact that Mass is celebrated this weekend in some places in total silence, but with the full participation of deaf people praising God in the movements of their hands, and sometimes even with a priest who is deaf, is nothing less than the Church being faithful to the image of Jesus, who made the deaf hear and the mute speak. Remember too that deafness is an invisible disability, and that there may well be people in your parish who are quietly yearning for Mass to be signed for them in ASL. —James Field, Copyright © J. S.

Formed Pick of the Week What are the “keys of the kingdom” and why are they so important to understanding Peter’s role in the Church? Dr. Tim Gray takes us back to the Old Testament and the significance of the imagery the keys had to the office of the prime minister in the kingdom of King David. From there we can see how Jesus was restoring and perfecting both the kingdom and its offices in his Church.
