From the Bishop’s Desk:
With the winter comes a respite for some hopeful, productive downtime, taking stock and recharging. There’s time to evaluate life and make changes. For that, we’re having a nice winter this year. A little snow and some cold. It’s not as it was, growing up in eastern Montana, when I delivered newspapers in some bitter minus 50 degree weather. Even then, I loved the winter, when nature went into hibernation; and a world of new possibilities took shape. A time of peace, silent and reflective.
The time for interior reflection is here. The Sunday liturgical readings reveal Jesus calling his disciples, preparing for the road ahead. The goal is to proclaim that the Kingdom of God is at hand. Jesus chooses the most unlikely people for the mission. Simon, Andrew, James, and John are hardworking fishermen with much to learn.
Something about Jesus proves irresistible to them. They are drawn in and offered a new path with no guarantees. They make their choice; they “abandoned their nets and followed him (Mk 1:14)”. Within days these fishermen will be amongst swarming crowds, beholding amazing wonders: demons driven out, the sick healed, the challenges of a new message of truth and compassion proclaimed in word and deed. God loves us all! There will be difficulties, miracles, and suffering ahead, transforming the journey of life, as it formerly was, into a new experience of joy. –Bishop Berg
Saints Among Us:
St. Carlo Acutis died in 2006 when he was just 15 years old. Carlo loved video games. However, he understood their dangers and so limited himself to playing only 2 hours a week. Instead, he focused on building relationships, spending time with family and friends and developing meaningful hobbies. He even taught himself coding to create a website dedicated to Eucharistic miracles. The saintly teen modeled moderation in the use of technology and can encourage us to consider how to be more intentional about focusing on the people God has placed in our lives. –Faith Catholic
