From the
Pastor: “Every encounter with Jesus provokes a response; the
gospel of this Sunday shows a response of discipleship that is quick and
decisive. Our own call to discipleship
comes at our baptism, but unlike the disciples in the gospel, our response
isn’t usually so quick and decisive. We
spend our whole life trying to see the great Light that is the Savior of the
world. We spend our whole life passing
from death (darkness and gloom) to living in the light. We spend our whole life encountering Jesus,
hearing his call, and working to be faithful in continuing his saving ministry.
We practice following Jesus in the simple, everyday
things that come our way; the friend who needs a listening ear, the elderly
parent who needs a comforting phone call, the sick child who interrupts our
sleep. In all of these instances, do we
hear Jesus’ call to repent? Jesus invites
us to turn from ourselves toward those in need. Turn from darkness to light.
Repentance is the condition for following Jesus to the fullness of the
kingdom. It is the condition for taking
up his saving work.”
The new employee stood before the paper shredder,
looking confused.
“Need some
help?” asked a secretary who was walking by.
“Yes,” he
replied. “How does this thing work?”
“Simple,”
she said, taking the pile of papers from his hand and feeding them into the
shredder.
“Thanks,”
he said, “but where do the copies come out?”
