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

    True?

    “I should dearly love that the world should be ever so little better for my presence. Even on this small stage we have our two sides, and something might be done by throwing all one's weight on the scale of breadth, tolerance, charity, temperance, peace, and kindliness to man and beast.  We can't all strike very big blows, and even the little ones count for something.”
