A New Day Dawns
Today we hear how Jonah, sent by God to warn the people,
storms through the streets of Nineveh, scaring the citizens out
of their wits. And it works! God has a change of heart, seeing
“by their actions” how the people turn from evil (Jonah 3:10).
A new day dawns. Next we hear Paul telling the Corinthians,
“The world in its present form is passing away” (1 Corinthians
7:31). He calls for a change of heart. Stopping short of telling
them to stop carrying out their everyday activities, he urges
them—rather mysteriously—to live “as though” they aren’t
doing the things they are doing. A new day has
dawned.Finally, Jesus stands on the shore and cries, “The
kingdom of God is at hand!” (Mark 1:14). Simon and Andrew
abandon their nets—and even their father—and follow him. A
new day had dawned. Everyone has to change when a new
day dawns: the Ninevites, the Corinthians, the apostles, even
Jesus! Didn’t a new day dawn today for us as well?

O dearest comforter of the sick and troubled, alleviate their worry and sorrow with your gentle
love, and grant them your healing grace and strength to accept this burden.
Wednesday, February 3rd after Evening Mass
St. Paul Youth will be collecting non-perishable food items
and monetary donations to support our local food pantry
at Good Samaritan. Donations may also be made
through the Church Office through February 10th. Your
support is appreciated!
This weekend we take up the Collection for
the Church in Latin America! Many people
in Latin America and the Caribbean do not have
access to Church programs and ministries
because of a rising secular culture, difficult
rural terrain, and a shortage of ministers. Your
generosity makes it possible for our brothers
and sisters in Latin America and the Caribbean
to share in the life of the Church and grow
closer to Christ. Please be generous to the
special collection! To learn more, please visit
www.usccb.org/latin-america.

FEAST OF FAITH |The Penitential Rite Standing together in the presence of the Lord, we acknowledge our
weakness, our sins and faults and failings. But the penitential rite is really
less about our sins than it is about God’s mercy. It is not a time for
individual confession, like a mini-sacrament of reconciliation. It is, rather, a
preparatory rite, preparing us to praise the mercy of Christ as we
acknowledge our own weakness. When Simon Peter witnesses the
miraculous catch of fish—when he realizes who is in the boat with him—he
falls at Jesus’ feet with the words, “Depart from me, Lord, for I am a sinful
man” (Luke 5:8). We are like Peter. The more aware of the Lord’s presence
we become, the more awareness we also have of our sinfulness, our
weakness. The penitential rite of the Mass takes several forms, from the
traditional Confiteor or “I confess” to a litany, spoken or sung by the deacon
or cantor with responses by the entire assembly. The penitential rite always
includes the words Kyrie, eleison; Christe, eleison—Lord, have mercy;
Christ, have mercy. This ancient Greek prayer came to the Roman liturgy
from the East, and still echoes in many of the litanies of the Eastern Rite
Churches. These words turn our gaze from our own weakness to the
gentleness, the kindness, the forgiving love of Christ.

Treasures from our Tradition
“Ordinary” is not always a desirable adjective. Who would not be insulted to receive a thank-
you note for your “ordinary birthday gift,” or “the ordinary hospitality at the dinner party”?
No restaurant advertises its “ordinariness,” no car dealer seats a customer at the steering
wheel and whispers, “Look how ordinary it is!” Yet here we are in “Ordinary Time.” The
word carries a different meaning here: it does not mean these days are dull, boring,
pedestrian, uninteresting. It means “ordinal,” or “numbered” Sundays, a season of the year
when we follow the story of Jesus’ life and ministry in an ordered way, with each Sunday
assigned an ordinal number. You can amaze your friends with this example of Catholic
arithmetic: the “Ordinary Sundays” begin with the last Sunday of Christmas, the Baptism of
the Lord, continue until the Sunday before Ash Wednesday, and resume after a cluster of
feasts following Pentecost Sunday. The numbers are calculated by counting backwards from
the Solemnity of Christ the King, the Thirty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Now you
know there is nothing “ordinary” about “Ordinary Time!”
