"Seek the Light, Be the Light"
Spiritual Reflections
|
|
By Scott Root, Campus Minister
Gospel for Sunday, January 21, 2018 – The Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel." As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea;
they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Then they abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.--Mark 1:14-20
Reflection
This Sunday, we continue to hear the story of Jesus calling His disciples. Jesus calls, and Andrew,
Peter, James, and John respond. For these disciples, the call of Jesus required immediate action--they left behind their former way of life. Jesus is calling to us. He wants to be involved in our lives. He wants to help us repent and believe in the Gospel, to stand up for what is right, and to love Him with our entire being. Why are we reluctant to follow Him? Why are we unwilling to open our hearts and minds to Him and to leave our former lives behind? Let us open our hearts and minds to Jesus this week so that we can respond to His call in our lives with the response to the Psalm from this Sunday: “Teach me your ways, O Lord.”

Saint of the Week--Saint Paul and His Conversion--January 25
Saint Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus was to be the turning point in his spiritual life and in the life of the Church. There he met Jesus, and nothing was the same after that. Thereafter, all his zeal and energy were focused on the spread of the gospel message. We know him from his wonderful letters to the early Christian communities.

Prayer
Dear Jesus,
Open my heart, my mind, and my soul to hear Your voice calling me.
“Repent. Come and follow me.”
I am hard of heart, narrow in mind, and shallow in soul.
Teach me Your ways, O Lord, so that I may grow more loving, more wise, and love You to the
depth of my being. Help me to let go of what holds me back from loving You and to embrace
what brings me into Your loving presence.
Amen.
Mass At Trinity
