TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION:
The story of Job seems at first hearing to be an extension of February’s
gloom into the liturgy. The monumental suffering of a good man is so
horrific that the laments of the front page of modern newspapers barely
measure up. The whole story is not long to tell, but its resolution is of
great comfort. We can trace in its plot the stirrings of a belief in an
afterlife, and in God’s great power to right every wrong and raise human
beings from suffering.
In the Gospel, we see the fulfillment of these longings in the hand of
Jesus, grasping an ill woman by the hand and raising her up to vibrant life.
Peter’s mother-in-law becomes her best self, attentive to her guests,
providing hospitality, the warmth of her laughter, the delights of her
kitchen. Last week, at Candlemas, candles were blessed, including baptismal
candles for some not yet born. Today is a day to check the fragile flame of
your own baptismal candle. Against February’s customary lethargy, its
background whines and ailments, the liturgy summons us to life, grasps us by
the hand, and sends us to serve in Christ’s name.
