Jesus invites us to live so that our lives reflect His love and bring hope to others.

Scripture Insights

Today’s readings are crucial for understanding the good news of Christ event. We begin with Isaiah’s vision of God’s throne room that results in his call to be God’s spokesperson. We move to the psalmist’s unwavering faith in God who protects him even when he speaks uncomfortable truth to power. This leads to Luke's narration of the call of the first disciples and Paul’s primal creed of the good news.

Unlike our disinclined Jeremiah from last week, Isaiah calls out, “Here I am . . . Send me!” (Is 6:8). He becomes the model for future prophets and disciples. Jesus, in Luke’s Gospel, is teaching by the sea and revealing the Word of God. In the midst of manifesting God’s prophetic activity, he encounters those who will be his disciples. Simo Peter, James, and John all enter into relationship with Jesus based on his word and deed. They eventually become prophets and apostles in their own rights, but now they are just beginning.

We have felt God’s call but continue to doubt: Could I really be the right person for the job? Let us recall our response when God invites us to behold the Eucharist, “Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul shall be healed.” Let us feel assured that when we turn our eyes toward God, we see not judgement but only love.

God calls us to create safe space for ourselves and also to connect with others who are different in religion, race, age, language, or culture; to explore and revere unfamiliar neighborhoods, cities, or countries; to open our eyes, ears, and hearts to God’s presence there; and to welcome their presence in our Church.

You might have moments when you question if you are “good enough.” Turn to God for the answer and it will always be yes. God loves us in our imperfections and invites us to love ourselves. As we move through life, we will have people and places that feel safe- that feel like home- and we learn a lot about God from these spaces. We will also have opportunities to step outside our comfort zone and encounter new people and places, and we may be surprised by the ways we find God there.

Saint Scholastica, saint of the Day for February 10 (c. 480 – February 10, 542) Twins often share the same interests and ideas with an equal intensity. Therefore, it is no surprise that Scholastica and her twin brother, Benedict, established religious communities within a few miles from each other. Born in 480 of wealthy parents, Scholastica and Benedict were brought up together until he left for Rome to continue his studies.

Little is known of Scholastica’s early life. She founded a religious community for women near Monte Cassino at Plombariola, five miles from where her brother governed a monastery. The twins visited each other once a year in a farmhouse because Scholastica was not permitted inside the monastery. They spent these times discussing spiritual matters.

According to the Dialogues of St. Gregory the Great, the brother and sister spent their last day together in prayer and conversation. Scholastica sensed her death was close at hand and she begged Benedict to stay with her until the next day. He refused her request because he did not want to spend a night outside the monastery, thus breaking his own Rule. Scholastica asked God to let her brother remain and a severe thunderstorm broke out, preventing Benedict and his monks from returning to the abbey.

Benedict cried out, “God forgive you, Sister. What have you done?” Scholastica replied, “I asked a favor of you and you refused. I asked it of God and he granted it.” Brother and sister parted the next morning after their long discussion. Three days later, Benedict was praying in his monastery and saw the soul of his sister rising heavenward in the form of a white dove. Benedict then announced the death of his sister to the monks and later buried her in the tomb he had prepared for himself.

Reflection: Scholastica and Benedict gave themselves totally to God and gave top priority to deepening their friendship with him through prayer. They sacrificed some of the opportunities they would have had to be together as brother and sister in order better to fulfill their vocation to the religious life. In coming closer to Christ, however, they found they were also closer to each other. In joining a religious community, they did not forget or forsake their family.

Saint Scholastica is the Patron Saint of: Cloistered Nuns
