Parish Mission Statement:
We are a Catholic community of imperfect people growing in faith, caring for each other and reaching out to our neighbors in need.
Vol. 09 • No. 13
Welcome to Saint Catherine of Siena Parish If you wish to join our Parish family, please stop by the parish office during the week to fill out a white registration card and
stewardship volunteer form. If you have any questions, please call Clista in the office at 425-0595. Welcome!
The message today is one of love. It’s not a Valentine’s Day kind of love, but rather a consuming agape kind of love. When we allow this kind of love to fill our hearts from top to bottom, there is room for nothing else. Today, we have a reading from the book of Leviticus. In this reading, God leads with a direct command, saying there is no room for hate in the God-loving heart. No hatred, revenge, or grudges. Love your neighbor as yourself. The second reading, St. Paul reminds us that the body is a temple, a sacred space. It was never meant to house sin and hate. “If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person.” Finally, in the Gospel, Jesus bridges the gap from the Old Testament to the New by explaining the kind of love that was driving the teachings of Moses. He negates the old ways of thinking with new ways of acting. This was true for the disciples and it is still true today. Do not allow disputes of our day lead you into sinful anger and hatred. Rather, strive to share the perfect love of the Father with one another. 2

The Prayer Before Mass Come Holy Spirit, quiet my heart and my head, as I gather with my family, friends and neighbors to celebrate Mass. Quiet the thoughts and distractions that will keep me from worship. Open my mouth in prayer and song. Open my ears to hear God’s Word. Open my eyes to the mystery of the Eucharist. Open my heart to receive Jesus with love. May I go forth strengthened to take the Mass into my life this week. Amen.

"Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow." Today Jesus continues the powerful teaching of his Sermon on the Mount. Typical of this famous sermon, here he urges us to see things in a new way, specifically regarding situations and people who bother us. First, he tells us not to seek revenge. Instead, we are to demonstrate incredible generosity. Then, he instructs us to "love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you." These instructions don't come naturally to most of us. We are much more inclined to want to
get even with those who cause us to suffer, and to wish ill for those who have hurt us. Jesus proposes another way. In truth, what good does it do to seek revenge or foster hate? It only continues the cycle of evil. Jesus encourages behavior that will stop the cycle short. He gives us a model that -- although it may
not change the heart of our "enemies" -- will nonetheless change OUR hearts for the better. When pressed into service for one mile, if we voluntarily go two, then WE are the ones whose attitude and experience is certain to change. Instead of spending the length of that one mile cursing and complaining, we spend the length of two enjoying a surprising kind of freedom: "I chose to do this," instead of "I am being forced to do this." When we practice the generosity of giving more than we are asked, and the charity of praying for those who persecute us, we will find ourselves in a position to transcend the trouble. It sets us free to not be mastered by the evil around us. Thus, we are able to help end the cycle of evil and begin a cycle of love and peace.
