TODAY’S FOCUS –

Second Sunday inOrdinary Time :

When Jesus called theApostles, he did not hold interviews orfind the smartest and most distinguishedpeople to help him with his mission. Hepicked everyday people, of whom heasked extraordinary things. We mirror theApostles in that we are ordinary peoplebeing asked by God to do both ordinaryand extraordinary things in Christ’s name.

REFLECTIONS ON LIFE

As we mark the 36th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s legalization of abortion, this question still confrontsour society: Which living members of the human species should be seen ashaving fundamental human rights,such as a right not to be killed? Theanswer that still evades so many is:no human being should be treated aslacking human rights, and we have nobusiness dividing humanity into thosewho are valuable enough to warrantprotection and those who are not.
