Missionaries of the Precious Blood
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jubilee Year of Mercy
February 7, 2016
Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
During this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis calls us to
share with everyone the tender compassion of God that we
ourselves have experienced. In today’s Gospel, Luke uses a
special Greek word conveying just such tenderness. In the other
Gospels, Jesus calls the disciples to be “fishers,” haleis, the
same word that means catching fish with hooks or nets, to be
killed and eaten. But Luke uses zogron, from zoe or “life,”
meaning “catch or gather people alive,” as
animal lovers capture without harming,
rescue from “the wild” for a better life, and
protect in aquarium or zoo, tenderly cared
for by professionals committed to the
creatures’ well-being. So in Luke’s vision—
and Pope Francis’ as well—we who have
been “caught alive” by God’s mercy
ourselves are to become “missionaries of
mercy” during this Jubilee Year of Mercy,
rescuing fellow sinners from danger and
gathering them into Jesus’ community to enjoy
fullness of life.

Burning the Palms
First Reading — In a vision Isaiah is called to
be a messenger for the LORD of hosts. Isaiah
responds, “Send me!” (Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8)
Psalm — In the sight of the angels I will sing
your praises, Lord (Psalm 138).
Second Reading — Paul reminds us of the
gospel he preached through which we are
saved, if we believe it (1 Corinthians 15:1-11 [3
-8, 11]).
Gospel — Jesus directs Simon to take his boat
into deep water for a miraculous catch of fish.
Simon and his partners leave all to follow Jesus
(Luke 5:1-11).
We will burn palms this Tuesday to
make the ashes for Ash Wednesday.
Bring your old palms to the Rectory or
