Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sunday, January 24th, 2016
3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
"So that you may realize the certainty of the teachings you
have received." St. Luke began his Gospel by explaining why
he wrote it. His intention was to provide a written account "of
the events that have been fulfilled among us." But he didn't
write simply to make a historical record; he wrote in order to
bolster the confidence of the Christian community. He wanted
to offer them a resource for realizing that what they had been
taught was legitimate. This is why he investigated "everything
accurately anew" and wrote it down "in an orderly sequence."
This passage helps us understand the relationship between
sacred tradition and sacred Scripture. As Catholics, we believe
that the Bible is an essential part of divine revelation that goes
hand in hand with the teachings that were established by Jesus
and passed on by his apostles. The "Catechism of the Catholic
Church" tells us that the church "does not derive her certainty
about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both
Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored with
equal sentiments of devotion and reverence" (#82). Here, Luke
emphasizes that what he writes is a confirmation of what was
already being taught.
This fact should help us appreciate the gift of the Bible. This
inspired collection of books exists to help us practice our faith
and to bring us into a deeper understanding of the revealed
word of God. Although the Bible is not the only source of
revelation, it does help us to have what Luke calls "certainty"
regarding our faith. We do hear Bible readings at Mass, but we
would do well to read the Bible on our own as well. Let us not
miss the opportunity to hear God's word speaking to us every
day.
Catholic School Education Fund
Next weekend we will have students from Infant Jesus
visiting us to talk about the Catholic School Education
Fund. The weekend after, we will have an envelope
collection to support Catholic elementary and junior
high schools in our diocese. Thank you in advance for
your generosity!
“It is…widely recognized that Catholic schools are to
be communities of faith in which the Christian message,
the experience of community, worship, and social
concern are integrated in the total experience of
students, their parents, and members of the
faculty.” (Sharing the Light of Faith, 1979, #9)
Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
A pilgrimage is much more than a trip to a religious
site; it is a journey of faith. This will be a pilgrimage in
solidarity with Pope Francis, to capture the ideals of St.
Francis and our Holy Father’s desire for renewal. Our
journey will be organized by Canterbury Pilgrimages,
and registration information may be found on their
website http://www.canterburypilgrimages.com/.

Charities USA, the official domestic relief agency of the U.S.

awaiting us this year, this collection will also be used to provide
relief from possible futures emergencies. Thank you for your
generosity!
