Call Northside 777 ** 1948 Drama/Thriller 1h 52m In 1932, Frank Wiecek (Richard Conte) is convicted of the murder of a Chicago policeman in a mob-connected speakeasy. Eleven years later, his mother, Tillie (Kasia Orzazewski), takes out a newspaper classified ad asking for information about the crime. Hard-bitten city editor Brian Kelly (Lee J. Cobb) assigns skeptical reporter P.J. McNeal (James Stewart) to investigate. As he gradually starts to believe Frank Is innocent, he also faces the growing resistance from local authorities. The first studio feature ever shot on location in Chicago, the film is based on a true story.

In the verses preceding today’s Gospel, Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount with the Beatitudes. As Moses formed God’s people by giving them the old law on Mount Sinai, so Jesus, the new Moses, forms a new people by giving them his new law. “You are the salt of the earth,” says Jesus. As salt permeates food and brings out its flavor, so as Christians we are called to permeate the world and transform its value. “You are the light of the world,” continues Jesus. In the Gospel of John, Jesus proclaims: “I am the light of the world” (8:12). As Jesus’ followers, we are called to let his light shine through our lives, drawing others to this light. In the letter to the followers in Corinth, Paul shows how his life witnessed to the light of Christ. He tells the Corinthians that when he came to them, he did not preach using great rhetorical gifts. Instead, he allowed the Spirit to speak through him. Physically, Paul came “in weakness and fear and much trembling.” The power of the Spirit, however, transformed his human inadequacies to communicate the message of the crucified and Risen Christ. Paul argues that God’s power, God’s grace, works through the lives of believers by attracting many to follow and accept the Good News. The prophet Isaiah offered the same idea. The witness of an authentic life attracts people to the message. The prophet affirms this vision: “If you bestow your bread on the hungry / and satisfy the afflicted; / then your light shall rise for you in the darkness.” How does Matthew’s Gospel account present Jesus in

the Sermon on the Mount as a new Moses? What does the Second Reading tell you about Paul? Do

these words surprise you? How can you become a more effective light in the

darkness?
