TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — God allows us to make choices, but we are not to choose injustice or sin-fulness (Sirach 15:15-20). Psalm — Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord! (Psalm 119). Second Reading — God’s wisdom is mysterious and hid-den (1 Corinthians 2:6-10). Gospel — Jesus has come not to abolish but to fulfill the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17-37 [20-22a, 27-28, 33-34a, 37]).
International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved.
CHOICE “If you choose you can keep the commandments,” Si-rach tells us. God “has set before you fire and water; to whichever you choose, stretch forth your hand” (Sirach 15:15, 16). This is a great mystery: God does not control us so completely that we cannot choose our own path. We have certain boundaries, of course, but no one but we can choose our way within those boundaries. In today’s reading from Matthew’s Gospel, Jesus re-minds us of our freedom and our responsibility for our lives. He calls us to look beyond the words of the com-mandments, all the way to their meaning. Look beyond the adultery to the selfishness that poisons our love. Look be-yond the murder to the anger that eats away at our compas-sion. Look beyond the perjured testimony to the lies and deception that drive our behavior. Our vocation is to choose life for ourselves, and to choose a path through our part of the world that helps make life possible and more abundant for others as well.

UPCOMING PARISH ACTIVITIES
Feb. 2: THE CHAIR OF ST. PETER THE APOSTLE In brushing up for “Catholic Jeopardy,” it might help to know that there is only one feast on the calendar for a thing, rather than a person or mystery. It’s for a chair: Saint Peter’s chair in fact After the Resurrection, there can be no doubt that the disciples reserved a special place for Simon Peter in the upper room. Later, Peter became the bishop of Antioch in today’s Syria, the place where we were first called Christians. From there, he went to Rome, the center of the Empire, where it is said that Peter sat in a chair in the house of Priscilla and Aquila to instruct his flock. Jesus, in entrusting the keys of the Kingdom to Peter and his
successors, entrusted his compassion and mercy to them, and charged them with pointing to the Kingdom of God.
Compassion and mercy are to resonate through their teaching. Since the ancient sign of a teacher is the chair (“disciple” literally means one who sits at the feet of a teacher), Peter’s chair has long been
treasured. Today there is a symbolic shrine of Peter’s chair above the main altar of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. This monument is the last work of Bernini, a huge bronze throne supported by four doctors of the Church: Augustine and Ambrose from the Western Church, and Chrysostom and Athanasius from the East. High above it is the alabaster window of the descent of the Holy Spirit.

The Knights of Columbus Council 1061 has voted to not open the pool in 2020. There are three primary reasons for this. First, manpower for the maintenance, upkeep, cleaning, and repairs of the pool have been a growing issue the past several summers. There are many, many hours that go into managing all aspects of the opera on, from maintenance to memberships to scheduling, etc. The council is not able to secure enough help to keep things working. Second, the pool is most likely 20 years past its life expectancy. As a result, the council has been incurring significant repair costs. The council has subsidized its opera on as a way to be of service to families. However, to con nue to do so means the council cannot meet its first and most important pillar: charity. The projected cost to open the pool for the upcoming season is $12,000 to upward of $50,000. The council would have to cut back on the support of youth and our church. Third, the bowl-shaped design of the pool does not meet today’s safety standards. Of course, this increases insurance and liability costs, but more importantly, the Knights do not want to see a child injured. We realize that this decision by the council is disappoin ng to those who used the pool. But by not opera ng the pool, the council will be able to direct more of its resources towards its charitable causes
