St. Augustine, St. Benedict the Moor & St. Mary Churches: Pastoral Region One Feb. 1, 2015
A CALL TO DISCIPLESHIP
In reading the scriptures we reflect more on
how God invites various people before his time during
his time and even after his time into fellowship with
him and better still becoming his disciples. In many of
these calls one realizes that God is unselective and
called people from all angles: fishermen, shepherds
carpenters, educated and uneducated, men and women;
children as well as adults.
The church invites us to understand today that
as individuals he has called each and every one of us
into existence, and faith in Christ with a very definite
purpose which is unique to each person’s. This calling
which is unique for me is a proof of God’s love for me
which began even before my conception, “before I
formed you in your mother’s womb I know you”
(Jeremiah 1:4-5). Therefore, person has the
responsibility in carrying out that task entrusted him or
her. This must be done with all our might and with all
our souls and means to carry this task out successfully.
This response to God’s call and search for the will of
God for me is what Matthew Kelly define in his book
as ‘Authentic life’; He continues, to say that “God
doesn’t call you to live an authentic life in order to
stifle or control you. He invites you to live an
authentic life so that, from an infinite number of
possibilities, you can become the best-version-of
yourself. In a very beautiful way God wants you be
yourself… be all (God) created” (Mathew Kelly,
Discovering Catholicism Pg. 66) you to be.
This will come without escaping opposition but
God has promised; “I am with you till the end of
time”. All I have to do is to keep close contact with
him. Let us do the best we can in responding to his call
as though today is your last day on the earth.
HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK
TAKE TEN & CONNECT
With God & With Others Your Faith & Daily Life
Spend 10 minutes reflecting on God’s Word
Next Sunday’s scripture: Job 7: 1-4, 6-7
1 Corinthians 9: 16-19, 22-23; Mark 1: 29-39
When have you felt boxed in by someone else's
expectations and image of you?
Where do you find strength for your call in life?
Name an event in your life when God's intervention
had a more far-reaching effect than you imagined.

HOW CAN I PREPARE FOR LENT?
Anything worth doing is worth preparing for.
Just imagine that this Lent is going to be different
from every other Lent we've experienced. Imagine that
there will be many graces offered me this year. Let's even
imagine that God is going to help transform our lives, with
greater freedom, greater joy, deeper desires for love and
service.
If we want it, we will choose it.
Lent will be this wonderful season of grace for us if
we give ourselves to it. And, we will give ourselves to it to
the degree we really want it badly. So, in these days before
Lent, we need to prepare our hearts. We need to prepare by
realizing how much we want to grow in freedom, how
much we need to lighten our spirits and experience some
real joy, and how much some parts of our lives really need
changing.
So, preparing our hearts is a process of preparing
our desires. This means practicing our sense of anticipation.
If I imagine Lent as an "ordeal" or a time I dread in some
way, then I've already pre-disposed myself to not get very
much out of it. These days before Lent are a time to start
anticipating something wonderful that is about to happen.
Our Focus: On what God wants to give us.
Our sense of excitement and anticipation will grow
more easily if we begin to imagine what God wants to give
us. There is really something coming that we can truly look
forward to. If we get too focused on ourselves, and what we
are going to do or not do, we could risk missing the gift
God wants to give us. We have to keep aware of the fact
that grace comes from God. This is about God's great desire
to bless us. Then, it is easier for us to imagine that what we
really want to do is place ourselves in a space to receive
what God wants to give us.
Not starting from a dead stop.
Taking some time to get ready for Lent will ensure
that we aren't going to miss the first week or two of Lent,
because we are just getting started. Lent begins on Ash
Wednesday, but we want to be ready to really take off on
that day, rather than just beginning to think about Lent on
that day. Part of what makes a vacation or a special
anniversary so special is the build-up to it.
Before we get to Ash Wednesday, we should start
asking ourselves some questions and we should start with
some preparations. "What does God want to give me this
year?" This question may require that I slow down a bit and
listen to my inner spirit. For example, even if I'm very busy,
I realize I'm hungry when I hear my stomach start
"growling." "What am I going to be doing on Ash
Wednesday?" Too often, Ash Wednesday is like every
other day, except that I manage to get to church and get
ashes on my forehead. Is there anything else I can do on
Ash Wednesday? How will fasting and abstaining happen
for me, for my family on that special day?
