This Week:
Time of Fulfillment
Jesus' first words in Mark's Gospel are mysterious. He tells us: "This is the time of
fulfillment." What does this mean? It means that when Jesus Christ came into the scene, it was a turning point in the history of the world. This is because Jesus ushers in the third age of human history. The first age was the era of creation. During this period, mankind lived in the fullness of communion with God. It was when Adam and Eve lived in paradise and in friendship with God. This ended with original sin and the subsequent fall from grace: evil entered the world. Then the second age began, the age of
Romans 6:10
the Promise. God promised Adam and Eve that he would send a Savior to free the human family from domination by the devil (Genesis 3:15). In this second age, God gradually prepared the world, through the education and formation of His chosen people, Israel, for the arrival of Jesus Christ. With him, the third age began, the "time of fulfillment,” fulfillment of the promise of salvation. In this age, the Christian age, God actually entered into time and space in order to rescue it from sin and destruction. He did so at first through the Incarnation, and He continues to do so through the activity of the Church, which has gradually expanded into every corner of the globe. At the end of this third age, Christ will come again, ushering in the fourth and final age, the age of glory, when evil, death, and sorrow will be banished from His Kingdom forever. (con’t on p. 2)

WAYS TO CONNECT
things are part of the world in its present form, which is passing away, Christ and His Kingdom will remain forever. Blessed be Jesus in the Most Holy Sacrament,
At this moment, Christ invites us to be part of HIS story as He invited each one of those first disciples to join Him and share His mission. Some of us He calls to leave behind our nets, boats, and even our families, so that we can serve the Church full time, as special agents, as religious, priests and/or lay missionaries. Others He calls to be His ambassadors in the middle of family and work life, redeeming the world from within, like leaven in the dough. Either way, He calls each one of us. Today, He will renew His call when He offers himself to us in the Eucharist and invites us to offer ourselves completely back to Him. He reminds us today of the true course of human history. He desires to motivate us to renew our response to that call in our hearts, to let our friendship with Him truly become the most important thing for us, more important than our plans, pleasures and comfort. Because all those
