This sounded quite agreeable. The only instruction I was given beforehand was: do not refuse second helpings. Young and skinny, I knew I would accept even thirds. Polish mothers take great pride in their traditional foods and in the multiple, large, large, large bowls they use to serve them. Diverse foods, all delicious, each and every one astonishingly filling. So I ate and ate and ate until the terrible moment arrived. “Here, have some more, oh my goodness you don’t have anything on your plate, take some of this. And this. And this. You are going to starve. You won’t be ready for dessert if you don’t eat your meal!” Luckily I did not roll my eyes. I took as little of each as I could politely do, dealt with dessert, and took my stuffed self away from the table, graced with a new friend in my new Polish mother. Why do I tell you this? Because Simon’s mother-in-law in the Gospel must have been just this sort of a woman. Whenever guests visited, I’m sure she would be hustling and bustling, stirring up a welcome, dish after dish. But when Jesus and the apostles came over one day, she had been taken ill and helpless! Jesus saw how much out of character it would be for her to just lie there looking at the guests. Even though Jesus was immersed in his new career—preaching, curing, driving out unclean spirits, showing the great tenderness of God for people—he took her hand, healed her without ceremony, and lifted her out of her frustration. The Gospel says that, next, “she waited on them.” She was the Polish mother. By contrast, in the First Reading we hear the ancient words of Job, who does nothing but complain that everything has been taken away from him. “My life is like the wind,” he says, “I shall not see happiness again.” I have been assigned months of misery, and troubled nights have been allotted to me. If in bed I say, "When shall I arise?" then the night drags on; I am filled with restlessness until the dawn. Many of us will recognize these symptoms from our own lives. But Job lost more than just sleep. Formerly he had been prosperous, with a wife and servants, children, land, livestock, and a sterling reputation. It was all gone. He had been holy and loving: I rescued the poor who cried out for help, the orphans, and the unassisted, ... the heart of the widow I made joyful, … I was eyes to the blind, and feet to the lame was I” What had he done to deserve his huge deprivations? For that matter, what had Jesus done to deserve his terrible losses—his people (and his frequent meals with them), his preaching and curing and befriending? When he hung on the cross did he remember his mother’s meals? This much we do conclude: loss is the way of the world. The blessings we receive fall away and are broken. Starvation lurks. God knows this too. He stays with us either way. “Father and fondler of heart he has wrung” (Hopkins), he shows that love means “being with,” instead of just taking away trouble. ~ John Foley S. J.

We in turn give all the Glory to Jesus, (which is right where it belongs!) and we encouraged them to keep singing ever more joyfully from the pews. We need more and more of this until the sound of our voices at SES is shaking the rafters for Christ! We are excited to welcome three new choir members this week and a professional percussionist who has offered to become part of our music ministry for the month of February. Keep the excitement going! Join the choir or music ministry! ~ Carl & the Music Ministry EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS & LECTORS The February Schedule is available. Please pick-up a copy in the Minister’s Room.
