From the St. Albert Parish Pro Life Group
Today is the 44th Anniversary of the Supreme Court’s
ruling which legalized abortion. Special
Prayer Cards can be found in the pews
(and on the table in the back of the
church) asking you to spiritually adopt
an unborn child in danger of being
aborted. This practice was started by the
late Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Every
year 325,000 babies are killed in the womb even though
the duty of government is to protect innocent human life,
not destroy it. Cards in Polish and Spanish are also
available on the table in the back of the church.
LIBERATION AND REFORM
While you might have to reach for an atlas to determine
that Isaiah is speaking about Galilee, today’s first reading (part
of which was read at Christmas) is prophetic of Jesus’ future
ministry in that province. The light that brings salvation and
rejoicing is, ultimately, Christ. Liberation is the theme:
liberation from both ignorance (“darkness”) and sin (the
“yoke”).
As Isaiah identifies a place, so Paul describes an attitude:
the attitude that develops, even among good people, of
equating their own will with the common good. This always
brings dissension, and so it has done in Corinth. Paul will not
allow this; we are all members of “Christ’s party.” The gospel
is not to divide us.
Matthew quotes from Isaiah in today’s Gospel, presenting
Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s prophecies. The theme is
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew
4:17). To spread this message, Jesus begins to select disciples,
four of whom we meet today: Peter, Andrew, James, and John.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
It’s still months away, but parish ministers, especially if they are involved
in the catechumenate, have their eyes on Lent and the Easter Triduum. Until
fairly recent times, the last few days before Easter were shaped by an
awareness of the Passion, but the faithful were left to their own devices about
how to engage with these mysteries. A thousand years ago, the Easter Vigil as
a solemn and central moment of initiation had vanished. By the early 1950s it
was a minor moment in parish life, celebrated on Holy Saturday morning,
usually with only the priests and a handful of invited guests. Most people
understood it as necessary only for blessing the paschal candle and preparing
the Easter water. People who were children during World War II sometimes
remember that the weekly noontime test of the air-raid sirens on Holy Saturday
signaled the end of Lent.
Today, of course, we see Holy Saturday as entirely within the paschal fast,
and hardly the time for children to be tearing through the plastic grass looking
for jelly beans and chocolate eggs. These memories point to a total collapse of
the once-central liturgies of the Christian year. This impoverishment of the
liturgy was mostly an accident of history. The root cause was the loss of Lent
as a time focused on the final formation of catechumens for the Easter
sacraments. By 1880, scholars began to piece together a vision of what once
had been, and slowly, at first in a handful of monasteries in Europe, pieces of
the tradition were rediscovered and celebrated. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
