CORCORAN’S CORNER Oberammergau Passion Play 2020… There will be an initial information meeting next Sunday, Feb. 11, at 6:30PM, in the Gubbins Center, for the 11-day trip to Central and Eastern Europe from June 26-July 6, 2020, which will include the experience the Oberammergau Passion Play in 2020. All are welcome to attend to receive more information on the play and the trip. This Passion Play is only performed every 10 years, and books out completely. Very early reservations are required to insure good seats. Baby Bassinette Drive for COURAGE... Thanks to all who were so generous to our recent drive for baby goods to support mothers assisted by the COURAGE organization, a ministry located at St. Germaine Parish in Oak Lawn. COURAGE assists young mothers who may not have the support they need from their families. The COURAGE organization is there where the “tire hits the road” in aiding young women in difficult circumstances often raising babies alone. Annual Archdiocesan Appeal… This weekend, Feb. 3 and Feb. 4, our parish will be engaged in our Annual Archdiocesan Appeal. At all Masses today we will hear Cardinal Cupich’s message on tape explaining the Appeal, and asking for your support. Next weekend, Feb. 10 and Feb. 11, I will speak at all the Masses about the Appeal, and lead us in making our pledges. I ask that you be generous to our Appeal as it supports so many good things in our Archdiocese that are needing and worthy of our support. The Appeal also can benefit our parish as well as all funds raised over our goal are returned to us. In 2017, $70,172 went directly to St. Elizabeth Seton Parish. For more information on the Appeal you can go to the following website: https://www.youtube.com/watch? time continue=67&v=q6hhNmKjXFw Our 31st Anniversary of St. Elizabeth Seton Parish and our Women’s Club Annual Pancake Breakfast NEXT WEEK… For many years now, one of the ways that our parish celebrates the anniversary of our founding [Feb. 14, 1987] is by our parish Women’s Club sponsoring a wonderful Pancake Breakfast on the weekend prior to the anniversary date. This year this wonderful tradition continues. On Sunday, Feb. 11, the Pancake Breakfast will be held in the McBrady Center following all the Sunday Masses. Prices are very reasonable, and the quality of the offering is very high. Treat yourself to a pre-Lenten and parish anniversary treat by attending this breakfast.

Looking Ahead to Lent… Believe it or not, the holy season of Lent will begin on Ash Wednesday, Feb. 14, is a little over a week away! Our parish always tries to celebrate this season in good ways, following the traditional practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This Lent we will have many opportunities for prayer and reflection: Lenten Morning Prayer Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM, Church Morning Mass Monday-Friday, 9 AM, Church Evening Prayer Wednesdays at 7 PM, Church Scripture Study Series Thursdays, 9:40 AM and 7 PM, Gubbins Center Sacred Space Prayer Group Monday, March 5, 9:30 AM, Gubbins Center Centering Prayer Group Wednesday, February 14, 7PM, Gubbins Center Wednesday, March 14, 9:30 AM, Gubbins Center Lenten Book Discussion Group Mondays in Lent, 10 AM and 7PM, Gubbins Center Stations of the Cross Fridays in Lent, 7 PM, Stations Chapel (Church) Seniors of Seton Morning of Reflection Thursday, March 15, 10 AM, McBrady Center We will be providing the Little Black Book published by the Diocese of Saginaw, Michigan, as a Lenten reflection guide. We will have our Annual Parish Lenten Mission at 7PM on Monday, Feb. 26, Tuesday, Feb. 27, and Wednesday, Feb. 28, at 7PM. Our Parish Mission will be led by Fr. Ken Simpson, Vicar for Professional and Pastoral Development of Priests at Archbishop Quigley Center and the former pastor of St. Clement Parish in Lincoln Park. He is a wonderful pastor, priest and preacher. Please plan on attending. The regulations for Fasting and Abstinence are: Fasting [eating only one main meal, and two lighter meals through the day] is required for all Catholics from age 18 to 59 on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. Abstinence [abstaining from meat] is required for all Catholics over the age of fourteen on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and all of the Fridays of Lent. As for almsgiving [donation of small sums of money] we are providing once again, Rice Bowl banks. All proceeds collected from these Rice Bowl banks will support Catholic Relief Services [the Catholic Red Cross] who assist victims of disasters around the world. We ask that your return these “Rice Bowl” banks on Palm Sunday weekend. We also will be having a Canned Food Drive, coordinated by our local Knights of Columbus to provide food for our local area pantries on the Second (Feb. 25), Fourth (March 11) and Palm Sunday (March 25) weekends of Lent.

FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

To build a stronger sense of community, we will also host the St. Patrick’s-St. Joseph’s Day Party on Saturday, March 17, and the Annual Fish Fry on Friday, March 23. Both events will be held in the McBrady Center. On Palm Sunday we will launch a spiritual entry into Holy Week with our Once Upon A Tree Musical Cantata featuring our Seton Choirs, Orchestra and Liturgical Dancers. In the weeks ahead we will detail the plans of our parish journey through Holy Week itself, with our Holy Thursday Commemoration of our Lord’s Last Supper, our Good Friday Walk With The Cross through Orland Hills, our 3PM Good Friday liturgy, and the 7PM Living Stations of the Cross devotion, as well as our 12 NOON [sharp!] Holy Saturday Blessing of Easter Baskets, and the Easter Vigil. We are hoping to have a prayerful and growthful Lenten season and Holy Week. Creation Care Team… Recently parishioners have come forward to seek forming a “Creation Care Team” in order to highlight the Catholic Church’s teaching on the environment, to promote good stewardship of natural resources, and to discuss the connections between good stewardship and social justice. We will be undertaking this new effort on a multi-parish Renew My Church and deanery level, by opening this “Creation Care Team” to all the parishes in our Renew My Church grouping, as well as our local deanery. A fuller description of this new effort is found later in this bulletin. Our first meeting will be on this coming Thursday, Feb. 8, at 7:00 PM, in the Gubbins Center. All are welcome. St. Patrick’s Day-St. Joseph’s Day Party Committee... To warm and liven things up a bit this winter we are planning a St. Patrick’s Day-St. Joseph’s Day Party for Saturday, March 17, from 7pm-12 Midnight, in the McBrady Center. Tickets are $30 per person, with a cash bar featuring wine, beer, and other light non-alcoholic refreshments. The dinner menu will feature corned beef, baked mostaccioli, bacon cheddar potatoes, tossed salad, etc. We ask that everyone bring a dessert to the party as an offering to share at our St. Joseph’s Sweet Table. Musical entertainment will be provided by our wonderful local DJ and parishioner, Loren Gent of Fun, Fun, Fun DJs. This party is meant to be a fun night out, a “fun raiser” not a fundraiser, and a needed tonic to winter. To travel to the McBrady Center is a much shorter journey than a trip to Florida, and much cheaper than suffering a nervous breakdown. You can purchase tickets by

stopping at the table in the church Narthex on the weekends of Feb. 3-4, Feb. 10-11, and Feb. 17-18, or call Anna Talley at 708-532-6731, to reserve a spot. A word to the wise: in 2014, 2015, and 2016 the tickets were all sold out within two weeks! Just saying! We will also have “Mass-Time Tables” if you would like to be seated with people who attend the usual Sunday Mass that you regularly attend, that can be arranged. Start gathering your tables now.

Keep Smiling!

Thanks to all who contributed to the Angel Fund for the Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School, as well as all who participated in celebrating Catholic Schools Week last weekend.

“Come, Follow Me”

Please spend some time this week reflecting on the Annual Catholic Appeal bro-chure that you received this weekend. Please remember that the Annual Catholic Appeal is much different than a one-time special collection. It is a pledge campaign where you can make a gift payable in installments. The ACA theme for 2018 is “Come, Follow Me.” Each pledge makes a difference because all parishes participate in the campaign and the gifts of many enable our Arch-diocese to deliver needed ministries and services to answer Jesus’ call to “Come, Follow Me.” After our parish goal of $ 70,172.00 is reached in cash, 100% of any additional funds come back to our parish to help to fund our needs. If you received your pledge form in the mail, please complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next week-end. For those of you that did not receive a mailing or have not had time to respond to it, we will conduct our in-pew pledge process at all Masses next weekend. As we contemplate God’s many gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your financial support for the work of our Parish, our Archdiocese, and the Church throughout the world is, in fact, one way to express this gratitude. Please give generously to the 2018 Annual Catholic Appeal. Thank you for your prayerful considera-tion and generous response.

Please Make Your Gift to the 2018 Annual

CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES RICE BOWL INITIATIVE Dear Sisters and Brothers, We are called to love our neighbor. But, like in the Parable of the Good Samaritan, we may find ourselves asking, “Who is my neighbor?” This Lent, CRS Rice Bowl – Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten faith-in-action program – will provide a unique opportunity to connect with neighbors near and far through the global migration campaign, Share the Journey, launched by Pope Francis last fall. With this in mind, I encourage your faith community to actively participate in the CRS Rice Bowl initiative that is quickly approaching. CRS Rice Bowl provides ways in which families, parishes, and school communities can bring Lenten spirituality to life while con-tinuing to connect Catholics in our archdiocese with our brothers and sisters in need around the world. Through resources such as stories, vid-eos, meatless recipes, and lesson plans, we can include migrants and refugees in our Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. During the 2017 Lenten season, the generous donations of parishioners across the Archdio-cese of Chicago provided critical support in countries such as India, Mexico, and Ethiopia. Additionally, over $70,000 in local CRS Rice Bowl grants were provided to parishes and or-ganizations working on non-violence and peacemaking efforts, hunger relief, and environmental justice. To learn more about the CRS Rice Bowl program, the work of Catholic Relief Services, and the CRS Rice Bowl grant program, I encourage you to visit chicagopeaceandjustice.org/ricebowl. Thank you for your continued participation in an enriched Lenten journey through CRS Rice Bowl. Together, we will do our part to responding to Christ’s call to build a culture of encounter. With every good wish, I remain,

Sincerely yours in Christ, Cardinal Blase J. Cupich Archbishop of Chicago

Taking Pain To The Heart By Rev. Ronald Rolheiser

W riting in his journal during a time of bitter heartbreak, Henri

Nouwen wrote these words: “The great challenge is living your wounds through instead of thinking them through. It is bet-ter to cry than to worry, better to feel your wounds than to under-stand them, better to let them enter into your silence than to talk about them. The choice you face constantly is whether you are taking your wounds to your head or your heart.”

Part of us understands exactly what he is saying here, even as another part of us congenitally resists his advice:

There’s a place in us that does not want to cry, does not want to feel our hurt, does not want to take our pain to a place of silence, and doesn’t want to take our wounds to our heart.

And so instead, in our heartaches and wounds, we grow anxious and obsessive, we struggle to understand, we talk endlessly to others, and we try to sort things out with our heads rather than letting ourselves simply feel them with our hearts. And that isn’t always a bad thing. Nouwen’s counsel, for all its wisdom, needs some qualification: It is impor-tant that we also take our wounds to our heads. Our hearts and heads need to be in sync. But what Nouwen points to here is something that he, a man blessed with an extraordinary sensitivity to the things of the heart, learned only through crushing heartache and breakdown, namely, that we more easily take things to the head than to the heart, even when we think we aren’t doing this.

The way we take pain to our heads and block healing tears in our hearts is by denial, by rationalization, by blaming, by not simply and honestly admitting and owning our own pain, our own helplessness, our own weakness, and our own inadequacy.

And we all have plenty of occasions to do this: The more alive and sensitive we are the more we will experi-ence excruciating heartaches. The more honest we are the more we will be aware of our own limits and inade-quacies. And the more generous and pure we are the more we will be aware of our own sin and betrayals.

A nd so Nouwen’s counsel contains a healthy challenge: When we are brought to our knees by heartache and pain, we shouldn’t try to deny that

pain, deny its bitter strength, or deny our helplessness in dealing with it. To do so is to risk becoming hard and bitter. But if we give our deep pains and heartaches their honest due they will induce the kind of tears that soften and stretch the heart. It is helpful to remember that tears are salt water, of one substance with the waters of the original oceans from which we sprung. Tears connect us to our origins and allow the primal water of life to again flow through us. When we take our pain to our hearts, when we honestly admit our weaknesses and helplessness, God can finally begin to fill us with strength. Why? Because it is only when we are brought to our knees in utter helplessness, only when we finally give up on our own strength, that God can send an angel to

strengthen us, like God sent an angel to strengthen Jesus during his agony in the garden. One night, some months before his death, Martin Luther King received a death-threat on the phone. It had happened before but, on this particular night, it left him frightened and weakened to the core. All his fears came down on him at once. Here are his words as to what happened next:

“I got out of bed and began to walk the floor. Finally I went to the kitchen and heated a pot of coffee. I was ready to give up. With my cup of coffee sitting untouched before me, I tried to think of a way to move out of the picture without appearing a coward. In this state of exhaustion, when my courage had all but gone, I decided to take my problem to God. With my head in my hands, I bowed over the kitchen table and prayed aloud. The words I spoke to God that midnight are still vivid in my memory. “I am here taking a stand for what I believe is right. But now I am afraid. The people are looking to me for leadership and if stand before them without strength and courage, they too will falter. I am at the end of my powers. I have nothing left. I have come to the point where I can’t face it alone.” At that moment I experi-enced the presence of the Divine as I had never ex-perienced Him before.

I t is only after the desert has done its work on us, says Trevor Herriot, that an angel can come and strengthen us. That is why it is better to feel our

wounds than to understand them and why it is better to cry than to worry.

“He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons.”

LENTEN BOOK DISCUSSION “THE GOSPEL’S LEGACY” AND “BEING DISCIPLES”

We invite you to come Monday mornings beginning February 12 through March 19. We will meet at 10am or 7pm in the Gubbins Center for Faith Formation

(Northeast Corner of 94th Avenue and 167th Street) Books are available in the Pastoral Office.

Please prepare for the February 12 Book Discussion by reading the following:

■■■ “The Gospel’s Legacy” Introduction Pages 1-15 Chapter 1 The First Words Pages 16-25

Matthew 27:46; Mark 15:34-35; Psalm 22; Mark 8:31; 9:31; 10:33-34; 10:45

■■■ “Being Disciples” Introduction and Chapter 1

Two books for discussion. Cost: $20 Please register and pick up books available in the Parish Office today.

Join us Mondays, beginning February 12 Two session times: 10:00 am or 7:00 pm Father William Gubbins Center for Faith Formation THE FORWARD — Bill Huebsch, January 18, 2016 — ”The Gospel’s Legacy” My dad died in 2003. He was accompanied that last morning by his children, and he was very comfortable and at peace. He had prayed the rosary, and as he finished he waved his arm as though in farewell. My brother asked him what he was doing. “I’m talkin’ with God,” he said. “Well, what’s God tellin’ you?” my brother asked. Dad answered with his usual wit, “He’s sayin’ ‘Come on home, Herman. Cone on home.’” Half an hour later, he took one last breath and went home. I’ve always thought that those last words from my dad also summarized his whole life. He was a man of faith, and being with God was being at home. And home would have been how he thought about it since our home was such a focus and center of his life. He and Mom made our home a domestic church without even knowing they were doing so. To them it was just how we aligned ourselves with the loving divine presence around whom we were ordered in life. Likewise, the last words of Jesus contain with them the story and promise of his entire life. The author, Art Zannoni, unpacks them for us in this beautiful volume with faith and insight. Read these seven mediations slowly. Reread them as you would Scripture in Lectio Divina. Let the words sink into your heart and you will walk away from this encounter more deeply rooted in Divine love.

SAINT OF THE WEEK

SAINT BRIGID OF IRELAND

SAINT BRIGID WAS BORN BRIGIT. There is much debate over her birthparents, but it is widely believed her mother was Brocca, a Christian baptized by St. Patrick, and her fa-ther Dubthach, a Leinster chieftain. Brocca was a slave, therefore Brigid was born into slavery. Dubthach's wife dis-covered Brocca was pregnant and she was sold to a Druid landowner. It is not clear if Brocca was unable to produce milk or not present to care for Brigid, but legend states Brigid vomited any food the druid attempted to feed her, as he was impure, so a white cow with red ears sustained her instead. Many stories of Brigid's purity followed her childhood. She was unable to keep from feeding the poor and healing them. When she was about 10-years-old, Brigid was returned to her father's home. Her charity did not end when she left her mother, and she donated her father’s possessions to any-one who asked. Eventually, Dubthach became tired of her charitably nature and took her to the king of Leinster, with the intention of selling her. As he spoke to the king, Brigid gave his jeweled sword to a beggar so he could barter it for food for his family. When the king, who was a Christian, saw this, he recognized her heart and convinced Dubthach to grant her freedom by saying, "Her merit before God is greater than ours." After being freed, Brigid returned to the Druid and her mother, who was in charge of the Druid's dairy. Bri-gid took over and often gave away milk, but the dairy pros-pered despite the charitable practice, and the Druid eventu-ally freed Brocca. Brigid returned to Dubthach, who had ar-ranged for her to marry. She refused and made a vow to al-ways be chaste. Legend has it Brigid prayed that her beauty be taken so no one would want to marry her, and the prayer was granted. It was not until after she made her final vows that her beauty was restored. Another tale says that when St. Patrick heard her final vows, he accidentally used the form for ordaining priests. When the error was brought to his attention, he simply re-plied, "So be it, my son, she is destined for great things." Little is known about St. Brigid's life after she entered the Church. She founded a monastery in Kildare, and called it the Church of the Oak, built above a pagan shrine to the Celtic god-dess Brigid. Brigid and seven friends organized communal consecrated religious life for women in Ireland and she founded two monastic institutions, one for men and one for women. She later founded a school of art that included met-alwork and illumination.. It was at this school that the Book of Kildare, which the Gerald of Wales praised as "the work of angelic, and not human skill," was beautifully illuminated, but was lost three centuries ago. There is evidence that Brigid was a good friend of St. Patrick. The Trias Thaumaturga claimed, "Between St. Patrick and Brigid, the pillars of the Irish people, there was so great a friendship of charity that they had but one heart and one mind. Through him and through her Christ performed many great works." Saint Brigid helped many people in her lifetime, but on February 1, 525, she passed away of natural causes. Saint Brigid's likeness is often depicted holding a reed cross, a crozier, or a lamp.

The St. Elizabeth Seton Religious Education Program, St. Stephen, Deacon and Martyr, Religious Education Program and Cardinal Joseph Bernardin School Seventh Graders are sponsoring a service project to benefit PADS, the Illinois Veterans Home in Manteno and St. Leo Veterans Home in Chicago. This project will involve the gathering of various personal needs of the guests and residents such as travel-size toiletries and other easily carried personal essentials. The list below shows suggested items. The Seventh Grade students will meet on Sunday, Feb. 25, in the McBrady Center, to package your donations. You don’t need to have a Seventh Grader to donate and we don’t expect each giver to provide all the items on the list. Any donation will be greatly appreciated. We would like to make at least 75 bags for the project. We are also collecting gently used backpacks, gym bags, purses, and totes.

Please bring the items in a bag marked “Service Project” and leave them in the Church Narthex Feb. 10/11 and Feb. 17/18. If you have questions, please call Mary Vlaming, 708-403-6525, x 120.

NEXT WEEK’S FOCUS: THE HEALING TOUCH

The Church — the Body of Christ — is like other bodies. We are often in need of healing and wholeness. This calls us to be humble enough to acknowledge our own needs, and to be Christ’s healing touch for others.

FIRST READING The leper will dwell apart, making an abode outside the camp (Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46). This is an account which refers to the law of Moses concerning what to do when someone in the community has a disease. Leprosy was especially feared in the ancient world. It was so dreaded that anyone who had any sort of skin disease (even severe acne or eczema) was considered to be leprous. All who had any sort of skin disease were severely segregated. They lost any right to participate in normal society. This was true at a civil and religious level (for priests were involved in the official declaration of uncleanness and that someone had been healed). SECOND READING Do everything for the glory of God (1 Cor 10:31 — 11:1). This reading speaks of the attitude that we must adopt in our service of God and each other. Everything must be done in a way that will bring others to God. We cannot think only of ourselves and what we want. We must ultimately be imitators of Christ. Saint Paul also tells the community that they should imitate him. This is not pride or arrogance, but rather is simple honesty; for, as Paul says elsewhere, he had already chosen to live only in and for the Lord.

GOSPEL The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean (Mark 1:40-45). This account is a miracle. Most miracle stories have four elements: a description of the situation, an appeal for help, an intervention on the part of Jesus, and a reaction of the people who witnessed that miracle. Jesus healed this man because he was moved with pity. In this Gospel and others Jesus often heals because of compassion. Jesus heals the man and orders him not to tell anyone except for the priests who could certify his healing (and thus allow him to reenter society from which he had been excluded because of his disease). REFLECTION A minister spoke of his privileged experience to minister to those living with HIV/AIDS early in the pandemic. The fear of infection was great. One woman who had hugged him prior to learning of his ministry asked, “Can I get AIDS from hugging you?” Of course she couldn’t, but it took a number of years before that type of fear was overcome by understanding and compassion. Leprosy provoked fear. The Levitical law sought to help people be compassionate to those living with leprosy while protecting others from infection. Lepers were unclean, so when a leper approached Jesus and Jesus touched him, they both broke the law. Jesus’ interpretation of the law sought to reveal God’s desire to touch us where we need cleansing. He asked the healed person to be quiet in order to invite people to come to him to deepen their relationship with God, and not for miracles alone. God became one with us that we might become one with God. That deeper union is more important than external healing, because it is ours in good times and in bad. Yet we often seem to want external healing more than that deeper connection, which requires a willingness to risk being totally honest. Honesty means that we admit our need for healing, which can leave us feeling very vulnerable and open to being judged. Only by turning to God at all times and speaking our whole truth can we hear Jesus say, “Be made clean.” That kind of vulnerability can help us discover that God loves us as we are. God wants to make us whole. We need not be clean first. Lent begins soon. Bring your whole self to God as you are. Let Jesus touch you throughout the Lenten season. Deepen your connection with God and let Jesus’ healing touch help you give glory to God.

A FINAL THOUGHT FOR YOUR WEEK

FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME By Ted Wolgamot, Celebration Publications

T he Great Fire of Rome erupted on the night of July 18 in 64 C.E.

Reported to have burned for more than a week, the destruction through the city was massive. The historian, Tacitus, wrote that Emperor Nero accused a group of people called “Christians” of starting the fire. As a result, a major persecution of them took place. Many of this small, recently constituted group — roughly 30 years after the death of Jesus — were brutally executed by being thrown to the beasts, crucified, and being burned alive. Truth be told, at that time the world was experienced by most people as being dark and violent, a world overflowing with immense poverty and un-told ruthlessness. It was the world of the Roman Empire — an empire in which the em-peror was worshiped as a god. Among the titles he bestowed upon himself were “Lord of the Universe,” “Mighty God,” and “Prince of Peace” — to name just a few. To many people of that time, demonic forces had the upper hand. Satan was seen to be the ultimate ruler of the world. But then, something extraordinary, something totally unexpected happened. Amid all this darkness and terror, a whole new literary genre was born.

A book, unlike any other ever written, was created — a book that audaciously announced “good news of great joy!” This book, this

“beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” announced that a new beginning, a radical breakthrough had taken place. This book insisted that there was now present the possibility of liberation, of escape from all this fear and brutality, of peace. The writer of this radically revolutionary story was named Mark, the “interpreter” of the most famous of all apostles: Peter. As inscribed by Mark, the heart of Peter’s astounding message positioned the salvific

actions of Jesus against the evil of Satan. Yes, Satan is mighty, but Jesus is even more so. Yes, the world is filled with demonic forces, but Jesus has triumphed over all of them. Yes, a darkness does cover the world, but Jesus has generated a bright light of hope that promises a whole new way of living, a whole new way of being. And, as asserted in Mark’s Gospel, the “good news” for everyone suffering so horribly is essentially this: Emperor Nero is not the all-powerful one as he insists; Jesus is. Emperor Nero is not the Lord of the universe as he claims; Jesus is. From the very beginning of his Gospel, Mark repeatedly highlights Jesus’ mighty deeds, the miracles he per-forms. These phenomenal wonders were so astounding that the people witnessing them proclaimed again and again: “We’ve never seen

anything like this!” How could Mark make these revolutionary claims about Jesus? A leper is cleansed. A man with a with-ered hand and a woman with a hemorrhage are made well. A little child who was deemed dead is brought back to life. A raging sea is calmed. A madman is soothed and made whole. And then, in today’s Gospel, there is the touching story of Peter’s mother-in-law. The tenderness that emanates from Jesus is beautifully stated by these words written by Mark: “He ap-proached, grasped her hand, and helped her up.”

This is the good news that Mark so desperately wants us to hear:

T he God of Jesus, unlike the emperor of Rome, wants only to rescue, to heal, to make well; the God of Jesus, unlike the emperor of Rome, wants

only to take each of us by our hand and help us up. This is why Mark reminds us again and again, through-out his entire Gospel, of the people’s persistent refrain of joy and awe: “We’ve never seen anything like this!”

Lord, Your wisdom has no limits. We learn more of your wise governance

of our world and our life, by each new incident of our experience. You are always gracious and good, sustaining the lowly, healing the

brokenhearted, binding up our wounds. As you number the stars, so you call each of

us by name and summon us to your work, within our family and community.

Amen.
