Reflection -   Week of February 1, 2026

Question of the Week:


How will I allow myself to be meek, merciful, and poor in spirit, choosing to rely more often on God’s grace?























     Perhaps the answer is that the world does not see how God sees. The world sees the outward signs of a difficult life; God sees someone in need of grace and mercy. The wise person puts their trust in God, not trusting the fickle finger of fate, which could upend anyone’s life at any time, but leaning on God to help them overcome their obstacles. In the end, God has come to save us, in the person of Jesus Christ. Thus, Jesus can tell his disciples that the kingdom of heaven awaits the poor and persecuted of the world.

     But it is in this world that Jesus is teaching his disciples how to live. He has just called them to leave everything behind and follow him. To the folks they left behind, it seemed a foolish thing to abandon their families, homes, and livelihoods to wander off without any concrete plans. But they have chosen to rely on God’s grace instead of worldly possessions. As Paul later writes, he has made the same choice, enabling him to “boast in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:31).

Resumption of Sunday Mass Obligation

"Effective Easter Sunday, April 4 (or as of the Easter Vigil, April 3), I am ending the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass, which has been in effect since mid-March 2020. However, anyone who is sick, may have been exposed to anyone with COVID-19, or who has a health condition that would endanger themselves or others by being present in church, continues to be dispensed."

-Bishop Larry Silva
