FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY
TIME
February 7, 2010

Jesus calls us
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
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
GOD'S CALL
In today’s scriptures
we hear three instances of people receiving and responding to a call
from God. These accounts follow the pattern of most scriptural call
narratives: a divine presence appears and speaks; the person expresses
fear or unworthiness, receives encouragement, and finally responds to
God’s call.
Today’s first reading
shows an unworthy Isaiah responding to the Lord’s call, “Here I am; send
me!” (Isaiah 6:8).
In the second reading
Paul tells us that, even though he had persecuted the church, he was
called to be an apostle.
In the Gospel, despite
Simon Peter’s protest that he is a sinner, Jesus calls James, John, and
Simon to follow him. They leave everything they have and follow
Jesus—that is, they become Jesus’ disciples.
These scriptures can
challenge us to take stock of our lives. How do we experience Jesus’
call to discipleship in our lives? How well and faithfully are we
responding?
SAINT JOSEPHINE BAKHITA
(c. 1869-1947)February 8
“Save Darfur!” That
cry echoes around the world and in the heart of the Church, where a
child of Darfur is one of our newest saints: Josephine (her baptismal
name) Bakhita (“Lucky One,” the slave-traders’ nickname).
Kidnapped at nine,
sold in Sudan’s slave-markets, flogged daily till covered with scars,
Bakhita was finally bought by Italians and taken to Italy. There Bakhita
discovered a “Master” who had himself been flogged to redeem her from
slavery! “I am truly loved,” she thought, “and awaited by this Love.”
Baptized, she often
kissed the baptismal font, exclaiming, “Here I became a daughter of
God!” For fifty years as a Daughter of Charity, Bakhita provided
cheerful hospitality to all who knocked at the convent door.
In her final illness,
she relived slavery’s horror: “Please, loosen these chains,” she begged
the nurse. “They are so heavy!” Her last words were: “Our Lady! Our
Lady!”
John Paul II canonized
her in the Jubilee Year 2000, praising God for leading her “from abject
slavery to the dignity of being your daughter and the Bride of Christ.”
