SEVENTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME February 20, 2011
MASS INTENTIONS
Saturday, February 19 FROM OUR PASTOR
5:00 pm St. Charles Parishioners This year our Gospels come mainly from
Sunday, February 20 Saint Matthew, which was not the first Gospel to be
7:30 am Clark Brandt Jr. Family written but is the one which was given the first
9:00 am James Cragan place in Bibles because it contains so much of the
11:00 am Carol Imbriani teaching of Jesus. We should be particularly aware of this emphasis on
12:45 pm Angel Luis Rivera
teaching this year when the late date of Lent and Easter gives us nine Sundays
Monday, February 21
of Ordinary Time before Ash Wednesday, with six Sunday Gospels in a row
9:00 am May Long
Tuesday, February 22 (4 through 9) coming from the Sermon on the Mount. That “sermon”
9:00 am Bill Demetree occupies chapters 5-7 of the Gospel, beginning “Then he began to speak. This
Wednesday, February 23 is what he taught them” (5:2) and ending “his teaching made a deep
9:00 am Cicera Orlando impression on the people, because he taught them with authority” (7:28-29).
7:00 pm Audrey J. Knipe There are five blocks of teaching in Matthew altogether, and one suggestion is
Thursday, February 24 that there is a parallel between these five discourses and the first five books of
9:00 am Giacôbê Nguyen Van Nho the Old Testament, the Pentateuch or Jewish law. Jesus on the Mount is the
Friday, February 25 new Moses, giving new laws for God's chosen people. And these laws have
9:00 am Suzanne Comeau been lasting: much of what we think of as the Christian character is based on
Saturday, February 26 the teaching found in Matthew’s gospel.
5:00 pm Geraldine Feerick
Sunday, February 27 So the Jesus of Matthew is like a Jewish rabbi, teaching a new law but
7:30 am St. Charles Parishioners reassuring his listeners that it reflects the true spirit of Israel. Christians at the
9:00 am Carol Geiger time were being persecuted both by the Roman authorities and by the Jews,
11:00 am Lucy Clark so it must have been tempting for some of them to return to their Jewish
12:45 pm Angel Luis Rivera roots. In such a setting Mathew wanted to show that Jesus and the Church
were the true fulfillment of all the Jews had been waiting for. As we would
PARISH EVENTS say, the New Testament is the completion of the Old. That’s why the Jesus
Sunday, February 20 of Matthew speaks with the pattern: "You have learnt how it was said to our
11:20 am RCIA Children (PLR) ancestors...but I say to you" (5:21-48). Law plays a central role in
6:00 pm J.A.M. (UR) Matthew’s Gospel, just as it did for the Jews, but Jesus actually sets a higher
6:00 pm MOMS (CR) standard of ethical behavior which corrects or complements the Old Law
Tuesday, February 22 given to the Jews by God. For example the Jewish law had developed a
6:30 pm School Board (UR)
system of divorce, but Jesus explains that divorce was never in God’s original
7:00 pm Ministers to the Sick (BGH)
plan; rather “what God has joined, man must not separate” (19:6). Today’s
7:00 pm Seraphim Rehearsal (C)
Wednesday, February 23 Gospel reading covers two more areas where Jesus asks his followers to go
2:15 pm 2nd-8th Grade Youth Choir (C) beyond the standards of the Jewish law: instead of doing the minimum, we
6:30 pm Adult Choir Rehearsal (CR) should be generous; instead of simply avoiding enemies, we should love and
6:30 pm Wed. Evening Faith Formation pray for them. Such standards may seem impossible to us but Matthew's
(BGH, SC) point is that Jesus is more than a human rabbi; only someone with divine
7:00 pm Adult RCIA (PLR) authority could speak in this way. God wants us to be perfect. Let’s just say
7:30 pm AA (UR) that we all have “room for improvement”.
