“PRAYING THE MASS”
The Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament is expanding
its help to our downtown brothers and sisters in need
of food and nourishment. Currently, our Saint
Vincent de Paul Society administers to our homeless
through its Cathedral Square Homeless Program and
feeds the hungry with donated food. On Brown Bag
Sunday, donated lunches will be taken up during the
offertory as our gifts at all the Masses, and then
distributed to the hungry during that month. Please be
generous. See below on how to assemble lunches.
PRESENTED BY FR. BLAISE R. BERG, STD
We are happy to invite each of you to attend this very special
presentation sponsored by the Lay Canossian Association. In this
talk, Fr. Berg will shed light on how to enter more deeply into the
prayers, hymns and readings of the Mass. By understanding the
various parts of the Mass and the gestures, postures and prayers
that are associated with each, we can open ourselves more
abundantly to the graces that the celebration of the Mass offers to
us. This special event takes place on February 27, 2015, 7:00
p.m., at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament, Mercy Hall
(lower level). Parking is free in the structure located in the alley.
Light refreshments included. Share the joy of this occasion bringing a friend! All are welcome!!

THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Discipleship
JON 3: 1-5, 10 • 1 COR 7: 29-31 • MK 1: 14-20
I
f today were not a Sunday we would be celebrating the
feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. During the Year of
Paul, Pope Benedict XVI used many of his Wednesday
audiences to teach about the saint. On Sept. 3, 2008, Pope
Benedict spoke specifically about the heart of Paul’s
conversion: the Risen Christ appeared as a brilliant light and
spoke to Saul, which transformed Paul’s thinking and his
entire life. “The dazzling radiance of the Risen Christ blinded
Paul; thus what was his inner reality is also outwardly
apparent, his blindness to the truth, to the light that is Christ.
And then his definitive ‘yes’ to Christ in Baptism restores his
sight and makes him really see.”
In the ancient Church, baptism was also
called “illumination” because baptism
gives light. Paul, healed of his inner
blindness, saw clearly. “Thus St. Paul
was not transformed by a thought but by
an event, by the irresistible presence of
the Risen One whom subsequently Paul
would never be able to doubt, so
powerful had been the evidence of the
event, of this encounter. It radically
changed Paul’s life in a fundamental
way; in this sense one can and must
speak of a conversion.”
JONAH
We have all heard about Jonah and the
whale, and many people have spent a
lot of time wondering how a whale could
have swallowed Jonah and then spit him
out on land. Trying to figure how a
whale could do this is a waste of time for
the event was never meant to be taken
literally. Not history, the Book of Jonah is one of the grandest
parables in the Scriptures. It is interesting precisely because it is a
parable, a fictional story written to cast us into the mystery of God
and God’s demands to practice mercy and forgiveness.
Nineveh had been the capital of Assyria, a kingdom that was
brutal in its conquests, and Israel was not spared its brutality.
Thousands died during Assyria’s attempt to conquer Israel. As
Assyria’s capital, Nineveh came to represent the most evil city the
Middle East had ever known.
Long after Nineveh had been destroyed by the Babylonians and
after Israel’s exile in Babylon, the Jews were greatly prejudiced
against outsiders. It is in this atmosphere the Book of Jonah was
written. In this parable God calls Jonah to go to Nineveh, the
city that represented evil and cruelty, and told him to call for its
repentance. It was a challenge for the listeners of this parable to
accept that God would invite anyone outside of Israel to faith let
alone brutal oppressors, but in the context of the story God not
only sends a prophet to these evil outsiders, He forgives the city
completely when it repents. Most would have not liked the
ending. They would have preferred that Nineveh would have
been completely destroyed; but instead they are told to extend
mercy. We, like Jonah, call for revenge and retribution, but God
calls for mercy.
Today we begin exploring the Gospel of Mark which we shall
continue to do throughout most of this Liturgical Year. In our
introduction to it today, we are given the Gospel’s two simple
themes: it tells us who Jesus is and
what our response should be. Jesus
came to call us to reform our lives.
Just as the Israelites had to reorient
their understanding of God, so do we.
We need an experience of the risen
Lord like Paul’s, an experience that
utterly transforms us. The response of
Paul to Jesus’ presence, the response
that Jesus asks of us, is discipleship, a
way of living that is clearly contrary
to the way our culture calls us to live.
Despite Jonah’s unwillingness to do
as God asked, we are attracted to
Jonah precisely because he is like
us. He did not want to walk into
the heart of evil and challenge it.
He tried to run from God’s call to
face evil just as we often do. Further,
when Jonah sees imminent revenge
on the people who all but destroyed
Israel, he becomes angry when God instead accepts their
repentance. Like Jonah, there is that part of us that looks
forward to seeing blood spilled.
We are also like Andrew, Peter, James and John in today’s
Gospel. Mark presents these men as being so instantly attracted
to Jesus that they leave everything. Yet we discover, despite
their radical departure, that they did not understand what
Jesus would teach them. At some points they even try talking
Jesus out of His mission.
We must take the challenge to meet and experience Christ is
such a way that we, through our own conversions, become
more like Paul who could never doubt Christ and become more
like the Apostles who despite their lack of understanding
stayed faithful anyway.
