GOOD NEWS Saturday, January t8:

lsaiah 49:3, 5-5 / r Corinthians e:r-3 / John r:29r34

When I was ten, my teacher decided to call me by my first name, M.ry, rather than by my family name, Kathy, paft of my middle name. My teacher felt we should honor the Blessed Virgin by calling me Mary. The name Katharine had been in my mother's family for years, and she liked its strength. lt was an abrupt switch, but like many children, I quickly got used to responding to either name-and sometimes to both.

Names tell us something about a person. Today's Scriptures speak to the singularity of the lncarnation by talking about names people gave Jesus. The early Church looked through the sacred Scriptures of the Hebrew Bible and realized that Jesus was like the figure in the prophecies of lsaiah, so they came to know him as seruant (one who does God's will), covenant (a promise between two parties), and lightto the nations.

Paul calls him Messiah(Christos in Greek) and Lord. And John refersto him as the "Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world" and the "Son of God."

We haven't yet been able to articulate the fullness of who Jesus is. We believe he is fully God and fully human and that he came out of love for us to us from sin-,and death. ln qur attempt to understand.'that, we've given many narr&. Each reveals a.little more about who !9ls fur us and who is with God. {*; What is your name for Jesus now, and what does that mean to you?

t9:t-7 Mark3:7-72

Samuel 18:6-9:

A 'El'

Many people share your concern. As a priest, I'm

huged by an entire congregation throughout flu season. If I'm sick, I warn people as they approach, but sorne people want a hug anyway. For meny, communiry fellowship trumps prudence.

As far as receiving the precious Blood, obviously it would be best if those who are sick don't drink from the cup. But even if they do, receiving the precious Blood is more important to me than the slight risk of illness.

However, if it bothers you that much, there's nothing wrongwith refusing the precious Blood for health reasons.

And instead of shaking hands and hugging et the sign of peace, try nodding and waving. If people just don't get it and push for more, a simple,.*Don't went to pass on the flu" should stop them.

In

today's smiety,

fx too many things keep us

physically epart. I refuse to casually surrender anything that brings us together in love and fellowship except in dire circumstances, and for me, a normal flu season doesn't quali$.
