CHANGE OUR LIVES
In today’s first reading,
Jonah, sent by God to warn the
people,
storms
through
Nineveh,
frightening
the
citizens out of their wits. It
works! They repent before
Jonah makes his way through
a third of the city, and God sees “by their actions” how they have
turned from evil.
Then we hear Paul telling the Corinthians that “the world in its
present form is passing away.” He calls for a change of heart. He
stops short of telling them to set aside their everyday lives, but still
he urges them—rather mysteriously—to live as though they aren’t
doing the things they’re doing.
Finally, Jesus stands on the shore and cries, “The kingdom of
God is at hand!” The apostles-to-be abandon their nets and follow
him. Thus in all the readings we hear an invitation to a radical and
immediate change in our lives.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
As a result of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the Church
has defined a new pastoral plan for your care whenever you struggle with
illness. There are rites for children, a communal rite for celebration in the
parish, forms of care for the sick at each stage and transition, and for the
desperately ill. There is a much broader interpretation of who may be
anointed, including not only the visibly ill, but those battling addiction, or
the elderly coping with the frustrating aches and pains of aging. Children
under seven are normally not anointed, since the oil is associated with
reconciliation. (For the same reason, they do not receive ashes on Ash
Wednesday.) However, children close to that age who have a serious illness
often gain a deep level of spiritual insight and maturity, and may benefit
from catechesis for the Eucharist. Once admitted to confirmation and/or
Eucharist, a sick child should be anointed. It is a great strength of our
present rite that a section is included with prayers tailored to the
experience and understanding of a child. Considering our recent history of
being fairly sparing with this sacrament, the generosity of celebration today
is helping us to retrieve an essential part of our tradition of reverence for
the sick.
Prayers For The Sick
Please keep in your prayers those who are sick at home or in the hospital. Call the parish office for your prayer requests.
