Repent! That is the theme of the
first reading and of the Gospel
today. The second reading gives
us the motive for repentance: “the
world in its present form is
passing away.”
For many of us, the world does
not seem to change very much at
all and we can wonder if there is
much use of repentance in our
lives. For others, the world is indeed changing, and for the
worse. We are much more capable of total destruction of
the world today than other humans were many years ago.
We have to wonder about the role of repentance in our
lives. Is there any good that comes out of repentance? For
sure we can tell others: the Lord asks repentance of us and
so we repent! But that doesn’t seem very strong. Unless
we know why we are repenting, our repentance can be just
an external compliance with some religious law that we
have discovered.
In both the Hebrew Scriptures and in our Christian
Scriptures, real repentance can only be worthwhile
when we have some kind of personal encounter with
God. That does not mean the kind of encounter we might
have with another human being; for instance, meeting our
mother or our brother or our sister or a good friend in the
street. Sure, all of us would like to have an intimately
personal and profound encounter with God in that way.
But generally our encounters with God come about in
other ways.
We have to wonder today also if we really believe that
the Kingdom of God is at hand. That was one way of
describing an encounter with the living God. Today, very
few people sense that God is present at all. More and
more of us humans are becoming
atheists or at most agnostics. This
life is all there is.
But we Christians, who follow the
teachings of our Lord Jesus,
believe in His words. He tells us
that there is another life after
death. He tells us that there is a
living God with whom we can
converse in prayer. He tells us the
gateway to this new life after
death is the love we have for one another in this life.
Our spirituality often comes down to this
fundamental point: do I believe in Jesus Christ? If I
do, I look at the world in one way and begin to try to
choose to make all of my decisions in accordance with
that belief. Jesus tells us that we encounter God
whenever we serve others.
Repentance, then, is really important for all the times
that I fail to be faithful to the words of Jesus and to His
invitation to share His life. Repentance is important when
I fail to love. Personally, I fail so very much. Yet
repentance gives a chance to start over again.
Repentance, if we follow Jesus, is a joy in our life
because it allows us to acknowledge our brokenness
and to receive healing from the Lord of life. Let us
thank God today for this gift of repentance given to us
in Christ Jesus.

The Conversion of St. Paul, Apostle
January 25
Paul the Apostle, commonly known
as Saint Paul and also known by his
Jewish name Saul of
Tarsus, was an apostle
who taught the gospel of
the Christ to the first
century world Born: Tarsus, Turkey Died: Rome, Italy Buried: Basilica of
Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Rome, Italy
Fr. Bach
WE ARE NOT GOD
We are not God. In our hearts, we know this. And yet, how often
do we act as though we think we are? We might go to God in
moments of weakness, difficulty, or trial and ask God for help, yet
much of the time we go our own way. We hold onto a false sense of
control, rather than finding freedom in reliance on God.
Salvation history, as recorded in sacred scripture, shows us that
there has been this tendency in humanity throughout the ages to try
to be God, rather than to be like God. Such thinking does not work
out well in the end. We are not God! Jesus came to express the depths
of God's love. The authority with which he spoke and taught, healed
and expressed forgiveness, is the authority of one who understands
that love is the answer. Christ shows us the real transformation that
is possible when we give God the authority. "Your will be done on
earth as it is in heaven."
