Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you had a direct summons
specifically for you from God?
Instead of going about in a fog and trying your best to
remember how to live, maybe how to pray once in a while,
and perhaps make the effort to get to Mass at least on Sunday,
wouldn’t it be great to have a command that would focus
everything in your life, draw you on like a far-shining star?
In both the First Reading and the Gospel, people are given
such a direct invitation to do God’s will.
But …
In the First Reading Jonah is quite repelled by the call God gives him. And in the Gospel the disciples surely have no
idea what they are getting themselves into when they drop everything and follow Jesus. Would they have been so
quick if they had known about the crucifixion?
Let’s start Jonah from the beginning (Jonah, Chapter 1), several chapters earlier than Sunday’s reading. God says, "Set
out for the great city of Nineveh, and preach against it; their wickedness has come up before me." Jonah, quite
repelled, does exactly the opposite, running away like a cat does when called. He races to Joppa and boards a ship to
Tarshish, trying get as far from God’s will as possible.
The story is well known: God sends a terrible storm. Jonah admits to the crew that he is the cause of their trouble
because he is fleeing the command of God.
Pick me up and hurl me into the sea and then the sea will calm down for you. For I know that this
great storm has come upon you because of me. (Jonah 1:12)
With great reluctance, they toss him overboard. The sea is quieted. Jonah is swallowed by a "large fish,"
usually referred to in tradition as a whale.
Residence in the whale's interior gives Jonah ample time for retrospection. He prays psalms about what he has done
(Jonah 2:3). God does save him and tells him a second time to go to the great and sinful city of Nineveh and
announce the Lord’s message. Jonah submits at last and in today’s First Reading, the whole city is converted.
Why in the world didn’t Jonah just follow God’s command instead of running in to the other side of the world? One
speculation is that Jonah did not want Nineveh, the pagan city, to convert and be saved, because this city was an
enemy of the Hebrews. But you and I can make our own speculations, since
we know what it is like to run from what God asks.
As for the apostles (Gospel), they didn’t run away at all. Almost impulsively they followed Jesus. Possibly they wanted
political action. With Jesus’ gentle guidance they found out gradually what following the Messiah really meant. In
contrast with Jonah, who had imagined the worst and run away, the apostles imagined the best, but followed Jesus
into the passion and crucifixion! Luckily the resurrection followed. Lucky for us all, since suffering seems to be
inevitable in human life.
And you?
Are you running away or running toward? Either way you will have suffering. Either way God will keep after you,
pulling you out from fishy entrails, pushing you, pulling you, over and over, to learn in your flesh what love is really
about. ~ John Foley S. J.
Are you looking for a deeper relationship with
our Lord, Jesus Christ?
Prayer Group
Then come on Monday evenings from 7:00 pm to 8:00 pm and
experience an awakening of the gifts that were freely given to you by the
Holy Spirit. We gather together in the Children’s Chapel of the Church
for an hour of prayer, praise, music and healing. All are welcome, it may
just change your life.

gifts are almost always received with
expressions of gratitude and in some cases,
tears of joy.
Please consider a generous donation to this
cause which in turns allows us the Kingdom

of
Confirmation. If you are a fully
catechized Catholic who desires

The first session will be held on
Monday, February 23rd at 6:30 pm, this

Please bring with you to the first
session your baptismal certificate with
notations on the certificate indicating
dates of your additional sacraments.

that you would
like to donate.

All couple celebrating 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50,
or more than 50 years of marriage are
invited by Bishop Frank J. Dewane to an
Anniversary Mass in their honor. The
Anniversary Mass will be celebrated in two
locations: February 7th at Epiphany
Cathedral in Venice and March 14th at St.
Leo the Great Parish in Bonita Springs. Mass
will begin at 11:00 am. Please call the Parish
office at 455.3900 extension 201 for
reservations no later than a week before the
event you choose to attend.
Saturday, February 7th at 9:30 am
The Sacrament of the Sick is a healing encounter that the Lord has given us as a
sign of His love and concern for us. The scriptures tell us so often of the Lord
Jesus’ care for those who are ill.
This will be celebrated within the liturgy. If there are family members, Catholic
friends or neighbors who would like to receive the sacrament of the anointing of
the sick please invite them to join us. If they need assistance possibly you could
offer to bring them. The Sacrament is not only for those terminally ill but is a
prayer and anointing for healing. If you are unable to attend consider putting
some time aside during the day to pray for the Sick. The service should take
about one hour.

Comunitaria Unción de los
Enfermos
Sábado, 07 de febrero a las 9:30 am
La Unción de los enfermos es un encuentro de
curación que el Señor nos ha dado como un signo de
su amor y preocupación por nosotros. Las Escrituras
nos dicen tan a menudo de la atención del Señor
Jesús para los que están enfermos.
Este se celebrará dentro de la liturgia. Si hay
miembros de la familia, amigos o vecinos católicos
que deseen recibir el sacramento de la unción de los
enfermos por favor los invitamos a unirse a
nosotros. Si necesitan ayuda, posiblemente, usted
podría ofrecer a traerlos. El sacramento no es sólo
para los enfermos terminales, pero es una oración y
unción para la curación. Si usted no puede asistir a
considerar la posibilidad de un tiempo de lado
durante el día para orar por los enfermos. El servicio
debe tomar alrededor de una hora.

Are you a registered
Parishioner?
Do not take for granted that you are
registered in the Parish just because you
attend Mass. It could be quite
embarrassing to us, you and your family
when someone wants to make wedding
plans, have a baby baptized, attend Faith
Formation, or if you are asked to be a
Sponsor for Baptism or Confirmation
requiring a note of Catholicity from us. If
we have no record of membership, we
cannot provide these services for you.
The Parish Office is open for registration
Monday through Friday between 8:30 am
and 3:00 pm. Or call us at 239.455.3900
extension 201.
Last week a woman visiting our Parish
from Michigan approached me after
mass and told me that two young men
of high school or college age were
seated behind her during mass and
singing out so beautifully that it made
her cry. That is what the heart of
worship should do for us all, uplift
each other! Here at SES you are
always among family so never be
afraid to sing and praise God, it will
uplift our whole congregation and
Honor Our Lord! To join the choir call
Carl at 609-927-5999 or speak to any
member of the Music Ministry.
God bless you!
