It begins with Jesus\u2019 call in today\u2019s Gospel to Simon, Andrew, James and John: \u201cFollow me!\u201d We\u2019ve just finished the liturgical season of Christmas and Jesus came into the world in order to save us from sin and death, to sanctify us and make us sharers in his divinity, but he would created us without our help save and sanctify us without our help. We have to cooperate. That\u2019s why, right after the celebration of his baptism and the inauguration of his public ministry, the Church has us ponder with the first apostles the Lord\u2019s call to get up from where we are and follow him into that kingdom he came to establish in the fullness of time. He also wants to make us fishers of men to help guide others to make the same choice to follow the Lamb wherever he leads.<\/li>\n<li>In order to do that, we first need to be willing to make changes in our life, to leave things behind to follow Jesus, to stop desiring to call the shots but allowing Jesus to lead us. Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John were not going to enter the kingdom remaining where they were, holding on to their nets and fish and going on with life as normal, \u00a0adding a relationship with Jesus as a \u201chobby.\u201d They needed a new life. And they were wise enough to leave their boats immediately to follow Jesus. We need to make the same choice.\u00a0Yesterday, we pondered the meaning of our baptism and renewed our baptismal promises, rejecting \u00a0Satan and renewing our faith in Jesus. The toll to enter the kingdom is whatever keeps us from the kingdom, and we need to be able to pay that price to obtain the pearl of greatest value of all. The quicker we do so, the wiser we are and the better off we\u2019ll be.<\/li>\n<li>To opt for the kingdom, however, we first need to know that Jesus\u2019 kingdom then and now is not what people expect. Two thousand years ago people thought it would be one of power, prestige and prosperity, booting foreign powers, lording things over a whole retinue of servants, being filled with all types of honor. The kingdom of Jesus, however, is not of this world and wasn\u2019t going to satisfy those spiritually worldly criteria. He was coming to inaugurate a different type of kingdom with totally different, even in some cases contradictory, criteria.<\/li>\n<li>We see a little foretaste of this surprise in today\u2019s first reading. Penninah, the fertile wife of Elkanah, used to mock Hannah because she was sterile. She used to mock her particularly when \u00a0Elkanah\u2019s whole family would go up to pray and sacrifice to God at the Temple in Shiloh, which shows that God\u2019s house, rather than bringing out the best in people can bring out the worst when one isn\u2019t really centered on pleasing God. But, as we\u2019ll hear this week, God had a much bigger plan in mind for Hannah, who will become the mother of the great prophet Samuel. Jesus would later say in the Sermon on the Mount that in his keeping those who weep like Hannah will be consoled, and Hannah will be consoled far more than she would have ever dreamed, not just becoming a mom but the mother of one of God\u2019s most famous servants.<\/li>\n<li>In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus stressed that\u00a0his kingdom is different. In his kingdom those who are poor will be those truly rich in what matters; those who are hungry will be the ones satiated forever; \u00a0those who are meek, pure, peace-making and persecuted \u2014 rather than the most popular or the domineering, or those most successful on the battlefield will inherit the kingdom.<\/li>\n<li>The Church has us begin ordinary time by having us focus on leaving worldly standards behind, leaving worldly gurus behind, and once more to commit to following Jesus without compromise and to trying to help others come to follow him. This is the \u201cordinary life\u201d of Christians, what we are meant to do in \u201cordinary time.\u201d This is what it means to live out the reality of our baptism we pondered yesterday.<\/li>\n<li>One who shows us how to do this is the saint we celebrate today. St. Hilary of Poitiers grew up the son of well-educated pagan parents in Gaul (modern day France). He hungered for the meaning of life and knew that the standards of the world didn\u2019t cut it. Most people lived seeking pleasure and avoiding pain, but he said that that is basically the same standard that beasts followed. He searched through various philosophies until he got hold of the Christian Scriptures. He was fascinated by God\u2019s self-description to Moses in the burning bush, \u201cI am who am.\u201d He was even more greatly fascinated by the Christian belief that \u201cI am who am\u201d took on our flesh and entered our world. He recognized that the truth for which he was searching had a proper name, and once he became aware of this, he sought to leave everything and worldly standards behind to follow him. He was a married man and a father and as a layman he grew in faith. As soon as he became aware of the Arian heresy and met Arians \u2014 those who thought that Jesus was just a great man, but not the eternal Son of God \u2014 he started to study all of the Arian writings so that he could help the Arians follow Christ and not the heretical non-divine idol of their making. Eventually when the Diocese of Poitiers became vacant, the people clamored for him to be their leader, and he was ordained a deacon, priest and bishop. Even though he suffered much from political and ecclesiastical figures for his firm writings and preaching against the Arians, his courage and passionate desire to follow Christ in everything helped to liberate France over time from this heresy. He received his strength from the daily \u201cWord made flesh\u201d that is the Holy Eucharist. This is where he learned that the Christ\u2019s standards are not the world\u2019s and how we, too, are called to reign by humbly giving our body, blood and whole lives for others.<\/li>\n<li>Likewise the Eucharist is meant to be our school of ordinary Christian life. There\u2019s no greater way to repay the Lord for the gift of our life than to do what today\u2019s Psalm says, what we are about to repeat as the Church repeats every day: \u201cHow shall I make a return to the LORD\u00a0for all the good he has done for me?\u00a0The cup of salvation I will take up,\u00a0and I will call upon the name of the LORD!\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>The readings for the Mass were:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<div>\n<h4>Reading 1<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/1samuel\/1:1\">1 SM 1:1-8<\/a><\/h4>\n<div>There was a certain man from Ramathaim, Elkanah by name,<br \/>\na Zuphite from the hill country of Ephraim.<br \/>\nHe was the son of Jeroham, son of Elihu,<br \/>\nson of Tohu, son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.<br \/>\nHe had two wives, one named Hannah, the other Peninnah;<br \/>\nPeninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.<br \/>\nThis man regularly went on pilgrimage from his city<br \/>\nto worship the LORD of hosts and to sacrifice to him at Shiloh,<br \/>\nwhere the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas,<br \/>\nwere ministering as priests of the LORD.<br \/>\nWhen the day came for Elkanah to offer sacrifice,<br \/>\nhe used to give a portion each to his wife Peninnah<br \/>\nand to all her sons and daughters,<br \/>\nbut a double portion to Hannah because he loved her,<br \/>\nthough the LORD had made her barren.<br \/>\nHer rival, to upset her, turned it into a constant reproach to her<br \/>\nthat the LORD had left her barren.<br \/>\nThis went on year after year;<br \/>\neach time they made their pilgrimage to the sanctuary of the LORD,<br \/>\nPeninnah would approach her,<br \/>\nand Hannah would weep and refuse to eat.<br \/>\nHer husband Elkanah used to ask her:<br \/>\n\u201cHannah, why do you weep, and why do you refuse to eat?<br \/>\nWhy do you grieve?<br \/>\nAm I not more to you than ten sons?\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h4>Responsorial Psalm<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.usccb.org\/bible\/psalms\/116:12\">PS 116:12-13, 14-17, 18-19<\/a><\/h4>\n<div>R.
