JANUARY 22, 2012
III SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Each of today’s readings sounds a wake-up call and suggests a pattern of response. The cry of the prophet Jonah shatters the complacency of the citizens of Nineveh: “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed.” Even before Jonah reaches the halfway mark on his journey through the city, all the people of Nineveh turn from their evil way. And their repentance causes God to repent as well. The city is saved because the people of Nineveh believed God; i.e., they understood that time was running out and reformed their lives accordingly. The preaching of Jesus in the Gospel for today disrupts the daily life of four Galilean fishermen. “Come, ”he says; and, inexplicably, they follow. The advent of God’s kingdom creates a state of emergency. Here the saying is literally true: “He who hesitates is lost.” Similarly, Paul aims to disturb our peace when he declares, “The time is running out.” This realization does not remove us from the world, but it must reorient our lives within it “from now on.”
