On Sundays in Ordinary Time, the Old Testament prepares us for the Gospel. Faithful Jews considered Nineveh beyond redemption, hopelessly pagan, utterly corrupt, impervious to any mission or message from Israel’s God. But less than a day into Jonah’s mission—surprising both Jonah and God—the entire populace responds not in words but in deeds: fasting and sackcloth. Jonah’s world, Jesus’ world, our world, and ourselves. Jesus begins his ministry at a dangerous time. John the Baptist has been arrested, and in a less than ideal place—not John’s peaceful desert, nor the holy city, Jerusalem, with its religiously sophisticated, spiritually committed population, but Galilee, where Jews and Gentiles mixed at close quarters, resulting in a mix of religious observance, indifference, even conflict. In other words, the real world, like the one we live in. Like Jonah, Jesus challenges his listeners to repentance. Like Nineveh’s population, the first disciples respond immediately because Jesus declares, “The kingdom of God is at hand”—not a place, but a way of life—what the world would look like if we were living according to God’s gracious, saving, loving plan. Action, here and now; not words, but deeds! Forty days. God gave Nineveh forty days to repent. Soon our forty days, Lent, begin with Nineveh’s fasting and Jesus’ preaching: “Repent, and believe in the gospel.” Discipleship’s twofold process: leave the past, embrace the future; turn your back on where you’ve been, and come after me. And Paul reminds us, “Time is running out!” Not words, deeds. Fr. Gérard J.S. Paluch PRAYER OF THE WEEK O God, you call us to repentance and discipleship. Teach us to change our hearts and follow you faithfully. We ask for this and all these our prayers in the name of your Son and our Lord, Jesus Christ. QUESTION OF THE WEEK How will Jesus’ words today move me in this coming week to a commitment of belief and witness, compassion and service? How can I make that commitment as decisive and definitive as it was for Nineveh, Simon, Andrew, James, and John? POPE FRANCIS’ INTENTIONS FOR JAN. Christmas, hope for humanity: That the birth of the Redeemer may bring peace and hope to all people of good will. Parents: That parents may be true evangelizers, passing on to their children the precious gift of faith. PRAYER FOR PRIESTS Please pray for the following priests this week: Jan 25 Rev. Walter Paredes, Mary Immaculate, Pacoima WORLD DAY FOR CONSECRATED LIFE In 1997, Pope John Paul II instituted a day of prayer for women and men in consecrated life. This celebration is attached to the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord on February 2nd. This Feast is also known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in consecrated life are called to reflect light of Jesus Christ to all peoples. The celebration of World Day for Consecrated Life is transferred to the following Sunday, February 8th in order to highlight the gift of consecrated persons for the whole Church. Please pray for all those who have made commitments in the consecrated life, and be sure to thank them on their special day. May they continue to be inspired by Jesus Christ and respond generously to God's gift of their vocation. Jan 26 Rev. Julio Ramos Ortega, St. Joseph The Worker, Winnetka Jan 27 Rev. Nicolas Sanchez, C.P.C.R., St. Francis de Sales, Sherman Oaks Jan 28 Rev. Sylvan Schiavo, C.S.J., Blessed Junipero Serra, Lancaster Jan 29 Rev.

Get On The Bus Needs Your Help! For more information, please go to the SJE website at: www.sjeparish.net We have a bus – Bus S and we have the children. Now all we need is your support to get these mothers and their children united for one day! This year we have twenty-three mothers who have asked that their children be allowed to ride the bus with their caregivers to visit them at Central California Women’s Facility in Chowchilla, CA. Through your generosity and that of our ministries here at St. John Eudes, we will take a bus full of eager children to see their moms on the Friday before Mother’s Day. We are asking you, the parishioners of St. John Eudes, to, once again, help sponsor our bus, Bus S, with monetary donations. Without the donations from parishes such as ours, we would never be able to offer these children this wonderful opportunity. We will be here next weekend to speak with you about our program.

How to Report Inappropriate or Illegal Content on the Internet One of the main reasons that children do not report the inappropriate content they find online is fear of punishment from parents. If you let them know that it is not their fault if they come across an inappropriate site, they will be more willing to come to you when it happens. If your children ever show you a site that contains illegal behavior, such as pornographic images of children, contact your Internet service provider and the CyberTipline at www.cybertipline.com.

Enséñanos a hacer un cambio en nuestro corazón y a seguirte con fidelidad. Te los pedimos en nombre de Jesucristo Hijo tuyo y Señor nuestro. Introducción a la Liturgia del Día Ahora que el tiempo ordinario está en curso escucharemos el Evangelio de Marcos la mayor parte del año. Esta semana oiremos su versión del llamado de los discípulos. Los discípulos se encuentran desempeñando su tarea cotidiana, o sea pescando, cuando Jesús se acerca. Sería bueno reflexionar hoy, que estamos aquí reunidos para orar, acerca de cómo se acerca Dios a nosotros en medio de nuestras tareas cotidianas. Oremos para permanecer abiertos a la presencia de Dios aun en las cosas más insignificantes que hagamos. PREGUNTA DE LA SEMANA ¿De qué manera las palabras de Jesús hoy me inspirarán en esta semana próxima a un compromiso de fe y testimonio, de compasión y servicio? ¿Qué puedo hacer para que mi compromiso sea tan decisivo y definitivo como el de Nínive, Simón, Andrés, Santiago y Juan?
