Why Corner
Jesus' mission - Our mission
Jesus, do I need a mission statement like you? First, Luke wrote, "“Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing." Jesus lived out His mission statement by pro-claiming and teaching God's good news. All of us are capable of speaking and talking, and what we say can be good or bad, af-fect or destroy lives, uplift or pity, motivate or hinder, hope or despair, etc... For Jesus, God's words were a way of life and decisions. His life and identity were defined by them. Who He was, is and will be is God's words. Everyone that came to Jesus always left with something to marvel, had an impact or had con-sequences on their lives; always focusing on the good, better and/or best for the individual or the crowd. His language, choice of words, tone and deliberation came from the heart with sincer-ity, authenticity and conviction, that He believes in them and abides by them. What He taught He became one with it or them. He taught by actions and words, which are eternal for they all are truth. How are you teaching with your life? Second, Luke recorded, Jesus' mission statement was for every-one, "to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to pro-claim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord." Are we not poor spiritually and also poor in other ways? Are we are not prisoners of our own sins or wrong do-ing? Are we not blind physically, morally and spiritually? And, are we not oppressed by the evil and injustices of this world? Yes, we are all the above, in one way or another, and maybe all. So our lives are to obliterate all the above for our-selves and help others to be free from all the tyrannies that shackle our lives and others. How can we give what we don't have or possess. What say you?

Jubilee Year of Mercy
When he announced this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis highlighted
today’s Gospel episode, in which Je-
sus proclaims in his hometown synagogue his Spirit-anointed
mission to fulfill the promises of the prophet Isaiah. Jesus’ mis-
sion then, says Pope Francis, is our mission now as Jesus’ disci-
ples this Jubilee Year of Mercy: to bring glad tidings to the
poor, liberty to captives, recovery of sight to the blind, freedom
to the oppressed, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord,
a year of God’s mercy. Pope Francis challenges us to translate
Jesus’ mission to contemporary needs: to console by word and
deed those materially or spiritually poor, to liberate those
bound by modern society’s new forms of slavery, to open the
eyes of those blinded by their own self-interest, and to restore
human dignity to all those from whom it has been stolen. To act
with mercy in a spirit of joy!

for Lent
Though prayer is one of the
essentials of a thriving faith,
we often feel as if we’re talking
to ourselves. Or, worse, we’re
talking to no one at all. How
can something so vital to the
faith be so elusive?
Now, with the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine
Institute's Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the
discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make
prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy. In 6 video
sessions, Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God captures the
secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the
means to hear from God and then respond in conversation,
basking in His presence and resolving to live in and
through His love.
Engaging and accessible, Prayer: Finding Intimacy With
God includes…
• The Lectio Divina approach of Reading, Reflecting,
Responding, Contemplating.
• Penetrating Questions and Insights for the 6 Video
Sessions
• Additional resources for a fuller understanding and
application
• Daily reflections to deepen the meaning of Prayer in
your life
• Space for personal journaling
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
As Roman Catholics, our marriage practices have their pedigree in ancient Rome. One of the major players in shap-
ing our practices was the warfare involved in building an empire. Soldiers vanished and sometimes never returned.
Women began to manage their lives and to make decisions. The old family values were replaced by patriotic ones, and
religion was more attuned to the gore and glory of battle, a religion of the state, not of the family. Weddings were still
family celebrations, but had a public face. The bride wore a white toga and a red veil and walked to her new home.
There, she and her husband joined their right hands and gave consent to each other, not relying on her father to give con-
sent for her. Religion was optional: a pagan priest might be invited or not, and even without the ceremony, society
agreed by common law that a year of living together equaled marriage consent. By the same token, marriage by consent
also meant divorce was on the same legal footing, and did not require the courts or civil declarations. This is the world-
view the first Christians inherited, and it was up to them to determine what was good and to hold marriage up to the light
of the gospel. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LIVING AS THE BODY OF CHRIST
Some of Saint Paul’s best known and most beloved im-
agery is contained in the passages from First Corinthians
that we have heard last week and this week: the many gifts
granted by the one same Spirit and the many members
making up the one Body of Christ. Few passages from sa-
cred scripture more accurately sum up how Christian voca-
tions work together.
Unlike some of Paul’s other writings, which are a prod-
uct of the social and religious conventions of his time,
these enable us to look at our own lives and the lives of
those around us to discern what gifts, what vocations the
Holy Spirit has given for the good of all. We can likewise
know the joys and sorrows of the other members of the
Body and share in them for the strengthening of the whole
Body of Christ.
“The fact that we know that we are right about the sacred
value of human life should make us humble and more deter-
mined to spread this message by the love shown in our lives
and our willingness to be servants of life. As St. John reminds
us, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and
the truth is not in us” (1 Jn 1:8). Pro-lifers are convinced –
mightily convinced – of the boundless mercy of God. That is
the light we bring to the world: the truth about God’s love,
about forgiveness, about the beauty of human life in all its
stages and states.” J. Michael Miller, CSB, Archbishop of
Vancouver, Canada, Homily at Holy Innocents Annual Pro-
Life Mass, January 12, 2010
Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.
I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself
Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to be active in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all,
Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
Sentence Illustrations
† Profanity is the effort of a feeble mind to express itself force-
fully.
† We can often do more for other people by correcting our own
faults than by trying to correct theirs.
† If you don’t believe in cooperation, just observe what happens
to a wagon when one wheel comes off.
† Initiative is doing the right thing without being told.
Quotable Quotes
We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements
of life, when all that we need to make us really happy is some-
thing to be enthusiastic about.
