If you have not already done so please complete your pledge card, indication your gift or pledge to our Catholic Church in Western Oregon. It is important for all of us to participate in order to support our universal church here in Western Oregon.

It is not everyday you meet a hero in your com-munity or family, but one was recognized in the SJB community last Friday, Feb. 10th on the 6 PM news on KATU-TV, Dave Sabin, husband of Tina Sabin and active member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He was recognized for his out-standing work in collecting and distributing food for St. Vincent de Paul and his volunteer service at the VA hospital where he spends hours with veterans who are dying and have no families to be with them. He and Tina also deco-rate the Ronald MacDonald Homes in Portland at Christmas and bring toys to the children. As well, he is a regular blood donor at the drives here at

Church. He is "retired, but not "retired." To see his interview go to katu.com, click features, then Everyday Heroes. Parishioner, Karen Bouffard, is also in the interview as the person who nominated Dave. It is also posted on our website, www.sjbcatholicchurch.org.

Liturgy Corner: compiled by Pat Raschio (sources Formed, At Home With The Word, Scott Hahn and Loyola Press, Sourcebook) The virtue of holiness for ordinary believers seems unattainable, at least in this life. Today’s scriptures suggest that the people of God can be and should be holy. Jesus asks his followers to take a different approach by resisting retaliation altogether. Those who are called to the Kingdom of Heaven are to go beyond the way the world usually works and serve God’s kingdom here on earth. The other difficult demand of those who are called to the kingdom is to embrace the enemy. Matthew emphasizes that love of God and love of neighbor are the fundamental commands on which all else depend. Because God’s love is unconditional, we are to strive to love as God does, though, of course, it is challenging. Is it even possible? Matthew uses the Greek word telos, which is probably better translated here as “complete.” We are not to be perfect as in doing everything correctly, that is, as in being absolutely morally correct. We are to be perfect as in striving to reach the completeness we are called to in the Kingdom of Heaven. Attempting to love our enemies is part of striving for that completeness. Paul tells the Christians that they are the spiritual temple of God, God dwells in them and they are holy. Today’s Gospel continues Jesus’ teaching on how to interpret the tradition concerning our relation with each other. This teaching is not one of the easier ones to accept, Jesus has a higher standard. As God does, we must love without limit—with a love that does not distinguish between friend and foe, overcoming evil with good. The goal of the disciple is to be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Liturgy Corner: compilado por Pat Raschio (fuentes formadas en casa con la palabra, Scott Hahn y Lo-yola Press, Sourcebook) La virtud de la santidad para los creyentes ordinarios parece inalcanzable, al menos en esta vida. Las escrituras de hoy sugieren que el pueblo de Dios puede ser y debe ser santo. Jesús le pide a sus seguidores que adopten un enfoque diferente resistiendo la represalia por completo. Aquellos que son llamados al Reino de los Cielos deben ir más allá de la forma en que el mundo normalmente trabaja y servir al reino de Dios aquí en la tierra. La otra exigencia difícil de aquellos que son llamados al reino es abrazar al enemigo. Mateo enfatiza que el amor de Dios y el amor al prójimo son los mandamientos fundamentales de los cuales todo depende. Debido a que el amor de Dios es incondicional, debe-mos esforzarnos por amar como Dios lo hace, aunque, por supuesto, es un desafío. ¿Es posible? Mateo usa la palabra griega telos, que es probablemente mejor traducida aquí como "completa". No debemos ser perfectos como en hacer todo correctamente, es decir, como en ser absolutamente moralmente correcto. Debemos ser perfectos como en esfor-zarnos por alcanzar la plenitud a la que estamos llamados en el Reino de los Cielos. Intentar amar a nuestros enemi-gos es parte del esfuerzo por esa integridad. Pablo dice a los cristianos que ellos son el templo espiritual de Dios, Dios mora en ellos y ellos son santos. El Evangelio de hoy continúa la enseñanza de Jesús sobre cómo interpretar la tradi-ción concerniente a nuestra relación entre nosotros. Esta enseñanza no es una de las más fáciles de aceptar, Jesús tiene un estándar más alto. Como Dios lo hace, debemos amar sin límite-con un amor que no distingue entre amigo y enemigo, vencer el mal con el bien. El objetivo del discípulo es ser perfecto como su Padre celestial es perfecto.
