22 JAN
Jesus invites us to realize that to accept him is to accept God’s spirit in our lives, but to reject relationship with God cuts us off from being in God’s presence. If one rejects the Holy Spirit’s presence, then it is impossible for God to be in relationship with that person(s). To relate takes both parties’ willingness to be for/with the other.
23 JAN
Jesus’ words in the gospel paint an alternative picture: “For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.” For Jesus doing God’s will is all about being in relationship. Jesus lives to do his Father’s will, because of the love that they enjoy. He encourages us to dwell with the truth that doing the will of God connects us to him, to increase the love that we ought to be enjoying.
Doing the will of God may take us in some surprising directions and, yes, even to do things that are difficult. But it’s not about doing this or that; it’s about being more in relationship, being more in a relationship of love.
25 JAN
The conversion of St. Paul is indeed a striking event filled with much color and hue. The result of it all is that Saul the persecutor literally becomes Paul the Apostle; a bulk of the rest of the Acts of the Apostles recounts the marvelous results of that conversion/change. What does this rich drama say to us today? Paul’s conversion was instant and immediately effective; he never wandered from the call to conversion and to the powerful results of that conversion. “Saul” was shed in Damascus and an entirely new person “Paul” took his place – strong stuff indeed, the product of God’s transforming grace that brought about Saul-to-Paul, a persecutor of “the Way” to its chief apostle in bringing the Way to all people.

The contest is between The Chicago Bears and The Indianapolis Colts, representing their respective cities. Millions of people will gather to watch the game of course, but those who do not know much about football will watch - yes it is a fact - the commercials.
The wonderful reality is that while Peter will be finding out just how true his statement is, he, Peter, will have a vision constantly of the personal love which Jesus has for Peter and others such as he.
Enjoy watching the Super Bowl and perhaps enjoy, even more, the commercials. Count how many needs they are trying to convince you, that you have. Give the best ones your highest rating and begin laughing at how gullible they think we are, and they’re right.
“In the sight of the angels will sing your praises, Lord.” Ps. 138
