"God greatly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, of those in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2: 9 - 11)

THIRD SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME When Jesus called Simon and Andrew, James and John, you and me, he did not call us to do something. He called us to be something. He called us to be disciples. Why do you train your children in the faith? Why do you guard against immorality in your home? Why do you worship God daily in your homes and weekly here in Church? We do what we do because this is who we are. That is why we feel so disjointed when our human limitations take over and we give in to evil. We lose our sincerity, our integrity, when what we do is opposed to whom we are. But when we respond to that call of Christ within us to be Christian in all our actions, then our actions reflect our inner life, the life of Jesus Christ we have been called to embrace. Then we become who we are. [George] Weigel concludes that people who are determined to live the truth of whom they are, people who are determined to live vocationally, are the most dynamic force in history. Their lives don’t just become history, they become His Story, the story of God at work in the world. And that is what Catholicism is about. We want to change the world into God’s world. We are willing to do what we need to do to be whom we have been called to be. The call of Faith, our vocation as Christians is urgent, just as the call to faith was urgent for the first disciples, for the people of Corinith, and for the people of Ninevah. Faith has consequences. Faith is dynamic. Faith is counter cultural. Faith changes the world. Faith is manifested in the integrity of men and women who live who they are. May we have the courage to be Catholic. - Excerpted from Rev. Msgr. Joseph A. Pellegrino, Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL
