WHY WE PRAY
Archbishop Sheen also once answered the question
of why we pray “because we are orchestras and we always need a tune-up.” He understood the
importance of prayer in recharging our spiritual bat-
teries, as it were. Catholic daily prayers give us vital
spiritual strength.

4th Sunday of Ordinary Time
MT. 5:1- 12a Today’s Gospel periscope is Matthew’s introduction to his Sermon on the Mount : a three chapter col-
lection of some (but not all ) of Jesus ‘ moral teachings. The evangelist wants his community to know that if
they’ve agreed to buy into Jesus of Nazareth’s dreams , then this is how they’ll make those dreams a reality .
If for instance they want world peace , they’ll achieve it only by building loving relationships with their
enemies, not by being powerful than they are.
Matthew is convinced that only a remnant willing to look at people and situations with different eyes
than the majority of people look at them will actually carry out Jesus' demands.This unique group experi-
ences a blessing in being poor, in mourning and being meek. They strive daily to do what God expects them
to do : to show mercy , be single minded and bring peace . They’re always looking beyond the present to the
future Jesus promised. Obviously such a radical belief isn’t for everyone.
The late biblical archeologist Robert North made an interesting observation many years ago in one of
my doctoral classes. “ The reason Christianity isn’t working,” the wellknown Jesus said , “is because we’ve
got too many Christians! Just look at our Scriptures. It’s clear the Gospel Jesus never intended his followers
to be more than a very small group.” His comment dovetailed with something I once heard Karl Rahner, his
fellow Jesuit , say : “ When Christians reach more than 20 percent of the population they no longer have any
effect in changing the culture around them. At that point people become Christian just because it’s the ac-
ceptable thing to do because they’re really committed to carrying on the ministry of Jesus . Often they’re an
obstacle to real Christians.”
A third Jesuit , the recently deceased Daniel Berrigan, once commented he always took away points
from any college student who dared employ the redundant phrase “radical Christian” in a paper or report. “If
you’re a Christian, “ he insisted , “your automatically radical.” What prompts a particular person to chose a
commitment to God, to become part of the remnant? I’m convinced, among other traits, a person’s willing-
ness to evolve and adapt is a key element in those who form the remnant.
It’s clear, especially from the synoptic Gospels, that the historical Jesus’ basic “stump
speech” revolved around metanoia: the determination to change one’s value system. In mark 1:15, he begins
his public ministry by proclaiming , “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand . Repent
and believe the good news.”
Scholars tell us that in this context the “kingdom of God” refers to God present and working effectively in
our everyday lives. This Galilean carpenter shuttered his Capernaum workshop and began his itinerant
preaching ministry based on his insight that what everyone wanted God in their lives– wasn’t an event to
nostalgically reflect back on , or project forward to some to some ideal day in the distant future . It’s a pre-
sent reality.
But there’s a kicker: to experience such good news , one has to repent and undergo a metanoia the action
of making a 180-degree switch in the way one looks at and judge everyone and everything around them.
That value system change is not only behind Matthew’s Beatitudes ; it’s the premise for the unique morality
we find in Christian Scripture. Only those who can evolve daily and adapt enough to make such changes will
be able to experience God among us.

Social Ministry Happenings
January 29, 2017 [email protected]
This week we received a large donation box overflowing with socks for men,
women and children. Included with donation was the following letter from the
parishioners who made the donation . It is a moving example of neighbors
helping neighbors.
Good morning,
After an appeal in our church bulletin for socks. I had seen a special on
TV that interviewed homeless men who requested “socks”. The program was
quite graphic , rags wrapped around feet covered in sores. I immediately put out
a request to my family and friends wanted to donate 100 pair of socks to my
community .The response is in the box! ( from seven families!!) I hope this helps,
as I was informed that socks are rarely among donated clothing. I also went
through my winter gear and am donating hats, scarves , gloves and snow pants.
In addition , a few staples from my pantry are included, which I try to do when I
can. Thank you St. Frances for the opportunity to assist the needy of our
community .
P.S. — I enjoyed the holiday “giving tree” !!!
