The 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 8, 2026

Isaiah 58:  Thus says the LORD: Share your bread with the hungry, shelter the oppressed and the homeless; clothe the naked when you see them, and do not turn your back on your own.
1 Corinthians 2:  I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling, and my message and my proclamation were not with persuasive words of wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power, so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom but on the power of God.
Matthew 5: “… Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.”


Beauty of any kind lifts the soul above the humdrum to the beatific. It gives every ordinary life the sheen of possibility.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister

    Leo, wake up, you are missing another great homily.

     

    True?

    I just discovered my age group! I am a Seenager. (Senior teenager)  

    I have everything that I wanted as a teenager, only 50-60 years later. 

    I don't have to go to school or work

    I get an allowance every month.

    I have my own pad. 

    I don't have a curfew. 

    I have a driver's license and my own car.

     I have ID that gets me into bars and the wine store. I like the wine store best.

    The people I hang around with are not scared of getting pregnant, they aren't scared of anything, they have been blessed to live this long, why be scared?

    And I don't have acne.     Life is Good!
