2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME AND THE CREATIVITY OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT............

As creatures of the the Living and True God, the Supreme Being of the Universe, and as Citizens in the World in which we experience our being as interactive members of Humankind; we are formed and empowered, to be productive contributors to the society in which we live and move, in developing, maintaining, and strengthening, our existence. Being Catholic-Christian Disciples, we do so, in season and out of season, during Ordinary Time, as well as in Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Just as the liturgical high seasons denote the primacy and significance of our Faith and Fidelity to the Gospel Values of Jesus Christ; during the two thirds of the year that is designated as Ordinary Time, we devote our efforts and energies, to productively laboring with a spirit of creativity, that serves our mutual good. The work we do as creative and productive members of society, teamed with the grace of God, make us interpersonally, socially, and spiritually, able to live wholistic lives in fulfillment of our calling. Our inclusion of ministry, prayer, and worship, in Ordinary Time remains an essential component of who we are as productive citizens, and dedicated disciples. Therefore, Sunday Eucharist dwells at the core of our week, as the engine and the fuel of meaningfulness of all that we do. As we celebrate this 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time and keep this Lord's Day, may it replenish in each one of us, the creativity of spirit, that will permeate our week...........In Jesus The Lord Of All Humankind, Fr.
