Third Sunday in Ordinary Time   

                                

In today’s Gospel, Jesus begins his ministry, calling for the first of the apostles, to “come after me.” Without hesitating, Peter, Andrew, James, and John drop everything and set out to become “fishers of men.”

Every encounter with Jesus provokes a response; this gospel shows a quick and decisive response to the call to discipleship. All members of the Vincentian family are called to be disciples, exemplified by St. Vincent in this prayer: “Lord Jesus, teach me by your example. Make me, through the vigor of my efforts, set the world on fire. I want to give myself to you, body and soul, heart and mind and spirit so that I may always do what gladdens you.” The invisible poor in our community – those who are housed but struggling – are among those most affected by the economic disaster prompted by the COVID pandemic. Recently, our Client Aid Coordinators noted that both calls for assistance and resulting expenditures in our 2021-22 fiscal year more than doubled those in 2020-21. Since 2003, our work has been made possible by the great outpouring of financial support from St. James parishioners. Our new Fundraising Committee is tasked with finding new sources of income, and recently we welcomed the first fruits of this effort, an award of $1000 from the Biberstein Social Action Fund from Congregation Beth Haverim, Jewish Fellowship of Davis. Still, we recognize that our St. James community is our best and most important source of funding. This year, Father Ace has continued the policy of “Fifth Sunday” collections for SVdeP, and the first of these will be next weekend, January 28 & 29. Please be generous in helping our needy neighbors.
