A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly

“‘Forty days more and Nineveh will be destroyed’… ‘I tell you, brothers and sisters time is running out’… After John had been arrested Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God.’ This is the time of fulfillment. The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.’”

Jonah, Paul and Jesus speak with a sense of urgency. The forty days, the emptying of the sand in the capsule and the immediacy announced by Jesus, surely awake us to some-thing we might find easier to forget. The next time we might think about it is in a few weeks when we have blessed ashes drawn on our foreheads. Some heard the call and listened to His message. Andrew and his brother and the sons of Zebedee, left what they were do-ing to follow the Lord. Do you think they knew exactly what was in store for them? Was their father or work of greater importance? Perhaps the ‘time message’ of our writers today influenced them. We often check the time. The bus or train is late, I have a doc-tor’s appointment, or the movie or game might begin without me. We are told the hour and asked if we know where our children are. We are surrounded by time questions. The forty days, time running out and the present moment speak of a sacred time, not just a passing minute or hour. Check your watch!
