THE DEEP END - Going Deeper This Sunday we have a third extract from the Sermon on the Mount. It can appear at first glance to be a series of moral

statements and rules from Jesus. On closer reflection we can see Jesus’ message here is the call for each of us to ‘go

deeper’. The Scribes and the Pharisees followed the letter of the law but without depth. Jesus is clear that he has not come to demolish the law, rather, this whole passage is a call to a

more profound reflection on our lives; not ticking boxes but moving towards a deeper change of heart in dealings with

others. Jesus gives many examples of how people might do this: warning against the hypocrisy of offering gifts and rituals at the altar when we may have huge anger and resentment

towards another. Is the real sacrament not in reconciling that relationship first? Which offering is more life-giving? It is not

enough to ‘not murder’, but we must watch our anger which can lead to violence. Jesus is calling on people to watch their

thoughts which can lead to serious actions like murder and

adultery.

When we encounter Christ, the grace that this experience brings can make us aware of what is not ok in our lives. We are called to a radical conversion, a change of heart. And so

we read today’s passage with our hearts, not our heads. It may help to recall a time when you felt God’s grace bringing

you to a deeper realisation about your life.

Pope Francis invites us to celebrate St. Valentine’s Day!

In his document on The Joy of Love (Amoris Laetitia), Pope Francis refers

directly to Saint Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to make the most of

traditional religious practices, invite couples to grow in love and help their children to prepare for their future married life. This is why, as part of the

preparations for World Meeting of Families in Ireland in August 2018, we invite you to mark this St. Valentine’s Day in a special way.

The WMOF2018 office has prepared flyers with ideas on how to mark this special day and gift tokens that you can give to your loved ones this 14th

February. These are available in each Cathedral across Ireland, Veritas Shops and Accord centres and can also be downloaded from the WMOF2018 website: www.worldmeeting2018.ie The tokens include: a technology-free evening

to do an activity of your choice; set aside time for prayer, go for a hand-in-hand walk together; a special dinner cooked

by me, loads of tender hugs; a journey down memory lane: take time to remember how we met and have grown together; pray together as a couple.

We also invite you to subscribe to the WMOF2018 newsletter to receive the latest updates on preparations for World

Meeting of Families 2018 by email http://www.worldmeeting2018.ie/contact and follow us on social media: Facebook
