The ordinary or common time of Christians involves living with the borderline unbelievable reality we\u2019ve been pondering throughout the Christmas Season: that God has entered our world, dwells among us, and wants to dwell within us until the end of time. Today\u2019s first reading from the Letter of the Hebrews (which we will ponder for the next four weeks) was also heard on Christmas morning. It reminds us that even though God has spoken to us in the past through nature, through reason, and through the prophets, in the fulfillment of time he has spoken to us in his Son, his Incarnate Word, and it describes just who this Son is: the Son who was with him from the beginning, the Son through whom he created the universe, the Son who is the refulgence (the brilliant reflection) of his glory, the Son who is the imprint of his being, the Son who sustains everything by his providential word, the Son whom he has made heir of all things, the Son who is now seated at his right hand\u00a0far above all the angels. That is the Son whom God has sent to synthesize and fulfill in a living Word all that God had communicate before. There\u2019s a passage from St. John of the Cross printed in the Catechism that synthesizes the wonder of this reality to which the beginning of the Letter to the Hebrews eloquently attests: \u201cIn giving us his Son, his only Word (for he possesses no other), he spoke everything to us at once in this sole Word \u2013 and he has no more to say.\u00a0.\u00a0. because what he spoke before to the prophets in parts, he has now spoken all at once by giving us the All Who is His Son.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>In the Gospel from St. Mark (which we will ponder for eight-and-a-half weeks until Ash Wednesday), we see what that Word, that Son, said as he began his public ministry. He started by describing that the long wait is over, that we had entered the time of the fulfillment of all man\u2019s hopes and all the Messianic predictions of the prophets because \u201cthe kingdom of God is at hand\u201d with the coming of the King, with the coming of God-in-the-flesh. Then this Word who summarizes in himself all God wants to say gives us three verbs, three commands, three things we need to do: repent, believe, and come to follow him. Today we consider\u00a0the majesty of the Word\u00a0saying these words and begin ordinary time by seeking to take each of them more seriously than we have until now.<\/li>\n<li>The first word is \u201crepent.\u201d In Greek, this word is <em>metanoete<\/em>, which means a total revolution of our mind, of the way we look at things. It\u2019s a call to conversion, to no longer think as everyone else thinks, to no longer do as everyone else does, but to put on the mind of God, to align our heart and our actions to him. It means to compare ourselves to the brilliant reflection of God found in the refulgent Jesus and recognize we\u2019re not yet living enough as the image and likeness of God, we\u2019re not yet \u201cturning with\u201d Jesus (con-verting) in all aspects and we need to change. For some people this means a 180 degree turn. For others it might mean to 50 degree turn or a 10 degree turn. But all of us need this conversion and we will always need it. We need to repent of our past failures to stay with the Lord who came into the world to be God-with-us and to come to be fully with him. Ordinary Time is a time in which we regularly repent, in which we continuously convert, in which we incessantly seek to change to become more and more like the Lord who calls us to that penance and renewal. We have to overcome the spiritual stubbornness that makes us hardened soil to the Lord. The Lord who calls us to this\u00a0<em>metanoia\u00a0<\/em>will give us all the help he knows we need to achieve it, but we have to correspond.<\/li>\n<li>The second word is \u201cbelieve.\u201d To believe means not just to accept something as true, whether reluctantly or enthusiastically. To believe means totally to submit oneself to a reality on the basis of a trust in the one testifying to the reality. To believe means to entrust ourselves totally to Jesus and on the basis of that trust to ground our lives on what he says. The ordinary time of a Christian is meant to be filled with this type of faith. Because of our trust in Jesus we believe in what he tells us about the path of happiness\u00a0in the Beatitudes and we seek to align our whole lives to what he says. Because of our trust in Jesus we believe in what he reveals to us about God the Father and we ground\u00a0our existence on that Father\u2019s love and call. Because of our trust in Jesus we believe in what he says about his presence in the Eucharist, about his sending out the apostles and their successors for the forgiveness of sins in confession, about what he says about caring for others as if we were caring for him, about what he says about praying for our persecutors and even loving our enemies. For the new year that has begun to be truly a year of the Lord, it\u2019s to be a year of faith.<\/li>\n<li>The third word is \u201cfollow me\u201d or \u201cCome after me.\u201d Jesus says those words to Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John in the Gospel and they immediately left their nets, their boats, their fish, their employees and their families to follow him. They were open to the type of revolution in the way they looked at their life that is contained in Jesus\u2019 word\u00a0<em>metanoete.\u00a0<\/em>They believed in Jesus already enough to leave everything behind on a dime to base their entire life on his word calling them to follow him and become fishers of men. Likewise for us it\u2019s not enough to repent and to believe, because the Lord Jesus always calls us to follow him in faith, turning back on other things. Ordinary Time is a time of this type of discipleship, in which we focus on following the Lord Jesus.<\/li>\n<li>And this repentance, this faith, and this following is something that is meant to be not one time things or episodic, extraordinary events but\u00a0<em>ordinary<\/em>. Jesus, the Word in whom God the Father said everything he\u2019s going to say, speaks to us each day in prayer, calling us to change, challenging us to trust in him, and to come after him as he sends us out to catch others for him. Every day at Mass we have a chance to be renewed in all three aspects. We need to come to Mass ready to repent, ready to have our lives changed forever by what Jesus is going to say to us in the Word of God. When we say, \u201cThanks be to God!,\u201d or \u201cPraise to you, Lord Jesus Christ!,\u201d or \u201cAmen!,\u201d we\u2019re publicly proclaiming, even shouting, that we believe what has been heard and want to base our lives on it. And in that Word, the Lord Jesus is always calling us to follow him and then sending us to help others learn to repent, believe and follow him, too. Over the course of Ordinary Time, it\u2019s key for us each day at Mass to learn how to listen to the Lord Jesus speaking to us in this way summoning us to become more and more like him through conversion, faith, discipleship and apostolate.<\/li>\n<li>As we prepare now to receive the Word made flesh, we ponder how Jesus wants us to imitate him in giving his\u00a0words our own flesh so that we might be living, breathing commentaries of what it means to repent, to believe, to follow and to fish. And to help us become that existential exegete, Jesus \u2014 the Son of God who was with him from the beginning, the Son through whom he created the universe, the Son who is the refulgence of his glory, the Son who is the imprint of his being, the Son who sustains everything by his providential word, the Son whom he has made heir of all things, the Son who is now seated at his right hand\u00a0far above all the angels, the Son who synthesizes and fulfills all that God the Father wants to say, gives us now his very self.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The readings for today\u2019s Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Reading 1\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/hebrews\/1:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=9f9ae0173d&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">Heb 1:1-6<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">Brothers and sisters:<br \/>\nIn times past, God spoke in partial and various ways<br \/>\nto our ancestors through the prophets;<br \/>\nin these last days, he spoke to us through the Son,<br \/>\nwhom he made heir of all things<br \/>\nand through whom he created the universe,<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\"><em>who is the refulgence of his glory,<br \/>\nthe very imprint of his being,<br \/>\nand who sustains all things by his mighty word.<br \/>\nWhen he had accomplished purification from sins,<br \/>\nhe took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high,<br \/>\nas far superior to the angels<br \/>\nas the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.<\/em><\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">For to which of the angels did God ever say:<\/div>\n<div class=\"poetry\">\n<p><em>You are my Son; this day I have begotten you?<\/em>Or again:<\/p>\n<p><em>I will be a father to him, and he shall be a Son to me?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>And again, when he leads the first born into the world, he says:<\/p>\n<p><em>Let all the angels of God worship him.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bibleReadingsWrapper\">\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm\u00a0<a id=\"\/bible\/psalms\/97:1|\" href=\"http:\/\/usccb.us8.list-manage.com\/track\/click?u=b927174dbe854683d4b527f98&amp;id=0c12d55cb2&amp;e=b55e3798ee\">PS 97:1 and 2b, 6 and 7c, 9<\/a><\/h4>\n<div class=\"poetry\">R.
