3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Follow me and I will make you fishers of men.”
MARK 1:17
Jesus’ call to “Follow me” is a call to all Christians!
Jesus asks us to help Him build his church on earth by
generously sharing all our gifts of prayer, talent and
treasure. Remember, Jesus calls us to generously
develop and share all our gifts, not just the ones we
pick and choose.

BE PART OF THE 2015 ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL
“Entrusted with Responsibility”
“Pope Francis reminds us that we who are the Church, the Body of Christ,
are entrusted with responsibility and must never forget the poor among us.
May our support of the Annual Catholic Appeal provide us with
a way to share the good news of Jesus Christ.
God provides each of us with many gifts. We each have a responsibility to recognize God’s gifts to us
and to nurture them.
As we contemplate His gifts to us, we should also reflect on our gratitude for these gifts. Your financial
support for the work of our parish, of our Archdiocese and of the Church throughout the world is, in fact,
one way to express this gratitude.
When St. Peter Parish reaches its goal of $38,312.00 in paid pledges, 100% of the additional funds
received will be returned to us for use in our parish.
Your contributions are deeply appreciated, very much needed, and make a real difference in the lives of
many. Thank you.

THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JAN. 25, 2015
Ordinary Time?
by Rev. Larry Rice, CSP
One of the characteristics of Catholicism—indeed, of any liturgically oriented Church—is that the
pattern of our worship follows a cycle of feasts and seasons. And so too, to some extent, does the secular
world. Of course, those seasons don’t always align. When the rest of the world is in Christmas, we’re still in
Advent. When we’re in the Christmas season, the rest of the world has packed away the Christmas
decorations and is off to the January white sales.
Our seasons run like this: Advent, which starts right after Thanksgiving; Christmas, which begins on
Christmas Eve; a brief period of Ordinary Time, followed by Lent, Triduum, the Easter Season; and then a
long stretch of Ordinary Time.
What precisely is Ordinary Time? We usually define it by what it’s not. It’s the season when there’s
no other season going on. If seasons were flavors, Ordinary Time would be vanilla. Of course, as any good
cook will tell you, vanilla has its own often underrated flavor with its own nuances and characteristics.
To my way of thinking, Ordinary Time is the most challenging season. During Advent, there’s a lot
to do to prepare for Christmas. During Christmas, it’s simply expected that people will be full of good cheer,
promoting charity and peace on earth. Lent has its own set of internal to-do’s: the prayer, fasting, almsgiving,
and repentance that prepare us for the celebration of Easter. And, of course, the Triduum and Easter are the
high-points of the entire year with lots of preparation and celebration. In all these seasons, parishes have
programs, prayers, and activities to guide us through them.
Ordinary Time, generally speaking, leaves us to our own routines, and our own discipline. It’s the
time when we have to work to integrate our spirituality with the everyday: work, school, vacation, the ebb
and flow of our lives. Fortunately, we have help and assistance with that task of integration. We have
something that provides the support and spiritual nourishment we need to get through the everyday routine of
life. That support is called Sunday.
Sundays, especially during this vanilla season, should be part of the rhythm of life that keeps our
spirituality rooted in real life. If your life feels a little out of synch, driven by external events rather than by
your own priorities, maybe you should reexamine how you’re keeping the Sabbath—something to think
about before next Advent.
