(Vol.33 No 07) - 15th February 2009
The
6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus, friend of outcasts
“Whatever
you eat, whatever you drink, whatever
you do at all, do it for the glory
of God.” We often think
of faith and religion only in terms
of prayer. The extraordinary thing
about Jesus and his teaching, as seen
in this passage from St. Paul, is
that true religion is to be found
in the ordinary things of life and
true faith is to be lived in daily
life. This is especially true in the
day-to-day loving that is marriage.
Each couple live out their spirituality
in the ways they tenderly love one
another. And in family life the quality
of love is what makes people holy.
In our life together in our parish
we are called to the spirituality
of being a community in which we care
for one another. We need prayer as
part of it all both to grow in the
power to love and to celebrate the
goodness of love. It is only through
the power of God that we can love
as we should.
Fr. Johnny
Doherty, C.Ss.R.
