Today we celebrate the Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Today’s gospel tells us that Jesus came not to abolish the law or the prophets but to fulfill it. Jesus also shows us how to fulfill the law and how to make our righteousness or holiness exceed the scribes and Pharisee. Here are the fives ways to fulfill the law: First: Love one another. Jesus says “you have heard it was said, you shall not kill; “But I say to you, if you are angry with your brother you will be liable to judgment, …” In other words, we are to love one another.
Second: Forgive one another. Jesus says “When you are offering your gift at the altar, if you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother or sister, and then come and offer your gift.” It means it’s not enough for us to ask God to forgive our sins, we also need to forgive one another.
Third: Be holy. Jesus says, ““You have heard that it was said, you shall not commit adultery. But I say to you, everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart. In other words, we need to keep our minds and hearts clean, pure, holy and pleasing to God.
Fourth: Be faithful. Jesus says, “It was also said, whoever divorces his wife must give her a bill of divorce. But I say to you, whoever divorces his wife - unless the marriage is unlawful - causes her to commit adultery, and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery. In other words, we need to be faithful in our vows, commitments and promises that we made.
Fifth: Be truthful. Jesus says, “you have heard that it was said to your ancestors, do not take a false oath, but I say to you do not swear at all.” In other words, we need to be truthful in our speech and actions. Amen. Our Lady Star of the Sea Pray for us

Parish News: Black History Month
Father Augustus Tolton Servant of God Father Augustus Tolton was born into slavery in
Missouri. He escaped slavery with his mother and siblings by crossing the Mississippi River into freed Illinois. Ordained in Rome on April 24, 1886 because no seminary in the
United State could admit him, Fr. Tolton was the first recognized Black Catholic American priest. Although his priesthood was
hampered by isolation and economic hardship, Fr. Tolton remained a symbol of fidelity and priestly dignity. He sought to impress
upon the black community a sense of hope and belief in themselves through education and a practiced faith.
“I shall walk and pull at it as God gives me life for I am
beginning to see that I have powers and principalities to resist anywhere and everywhere I go.”
