We, the parish of Saints Mary and Mathias Catholic Church, WELCOME all to CELEBRATE, TEACH and LIVE the Mission of JESUS CHRIST

Ss. Mary & Mathias Church 215 W. 8th St. Muscatine, IA 52761

From the Pastors Desk January 12th , 2020 Today, the Season of Christmas comes to an end as we celebrate The Baptism of the Lord. Although Jesus had no need to be baptized, he humbled himself to be baptized by John the Baptism in the Jordan. Jesus was baptized to show us our need to be baptized as an essential turning point on our path of holiness. As Jesus was baptized, the voice of the Father came from heaven affirming Jesus true identity. “You are my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased.” As Jesus identity is affirmed, He is equipped for the mission the Father has entrusted to Him.

In the coming weeks, our Parish Council will begin the work of re-evaluating our parish’s vision and mission in light of our call to go and make disciples, as the Lord com-missioned His church before he ascended to Heav-en. Please pray for our parish leadership as we undergo this important work of understanding who we are so that we might fulfill Christ’s mission for our parish in a more effective and intentional way.

Making disciples begins with us understanding who we are as God’s beloved daughters and sons. By encounter-ing the Lord in the Sacraments, in particular in the Eucha-rist, we come to discover the Lord as the most important person in our lives. And, who wouldn’t want to share a love so great with others? Let us pray that as we cele-brate The Baptism of the Lord, we will come to know who we and how the Lord is calling us to live out our Baptism as His committed disciples.

How I Use Ignatian Discernment to Help Make Decisions Big and Small

BY GRETCHEN CROWDER JULY 31, 2019

Photo by Leon Biss on Unsplash

I always thought I knew exactly where my sons would go to school. There’s an excellent Catholic school right next to where I work. So, from the time I knew we were having our first child, I had a plan for what would happen when he turned 4. My husband’s not Catholic, but I told him sometime during our first few months of dating that I had two requirements for my future children. 1) They would be raised Catholic. 2) They would go to Catholic schools. As our first son neared 4, however, I had some fears about whether or not he’d be able to go to Catholic school after all, and during his pre-K interview, my fears were confirmed. The teachers had trouble understanding his speech, which didn’t surprise me because we also had trouble understanding it. So, he stayed in daycare for a year while we worked to figure it all out. When we finally discovered that his speech problems were connected to hearing loss, we addressed the issue head-on. He got hearing aids, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. I even started to learn sign language. Still, however, there was this looming ques-tion: “Where do we send him to school next year?” As I met more and more families with children experiencing hearing loss, I noted that many of them chose to send their children to local public schools to utilize the special education resources the state provided. I knew from a lifetime in the Catholic educational world that these resources were not as readily availa-ble at Catholic alternatives. Suddenly, the decision that I thought was the right one, the only one, the one God wanted for us, didn’t seem so easy anymore. For the last decade, I’ve been immersed in Ignatian Spirituality, and I’ve read and studied all about Ignatian Discernment. So, after my initial panic (the panic that always ensues when I have a big decision to make), I settled down and thought about the steps Ignatius taught about making decisions just like these. A Jesuit named Gerald Fagin, S.J. put it best in a se-ries of lectures he once gave called “A Dream Confirmed.” He said that when faced with a decision, big or small, Ignatius teaches us to “[P]ray, get good information, listen to the spirit moving in your heart, use your head to decide the pros and cons, make a decision, and bring it to God for confirmation.” So, that’s what I did.

I prayed. When faced with a decision, I find that this step must come first for me for the rest to fall into place. So, I let the decision of where to send our son to school marinate in my head and show up in my prayers as I reminded myself that asking for God’s help would ground me and direct my efforts. I got good information. I researched all the websites and social media platforms that provid-ed concrete information as to what a child with hearing loss would need in the classroom. I spoke with the school. I spoke with the special ed department of our local school district. I spoke with representatives of the special ed department of the district the Catholic school was located in. I asked questions. Lots of questions. And I discussed all the information with my husband, considering each source as I went. I listened to the Spirit moving in my heart. Ultimately, when I have a decision to make, my heart, through the grace of the Holy Spirit, already knows more than my head. So, I consid-ered what my heart was telling me. I examined how I was feeling when I thought about sending him to our local public school and how I was feeling when I thought about sending him to the Catholic school instead. I considered which decision made me feel contentment and peace and which made me feel disquiet. I used my head to decide the pros and cons. After I listen to the movements in my heart, my head also gets a turn to weigh in as it helps me assess the pros and cons. In this case, I weighed which option would not only provide my son with the accommodations he would need but also provide him with a good education and the elements of faith I desired for (Cont on page 4)

(cont.) him. Each place had pros and cons, and so I weighed which one would provide a better, more holistic experience for him specifically. I made a decision. Making a decision in the Ignatian sense involves a step of using your imagination to pretend you already have made the decision and assessing what your head and heart are telling you as you live in that decision for a while. I walked through a day imagining we had officially decided to send him to a public school, and then I walked through a day imagining we had officially decided to send him to Catholic school instead. Based on the contentment and peace I felt walking through the later path, I decided to go with the original plan and send him to Catholic school. I brought it to God for confirmation. My usual way of bringing a decision such as this to God for confirmation is to pray, from the depths of my heart, “Lord, this is what I’ve decided. Please give me the grace of knowing that this is the path you wish me to take.” And usually, confirmation comes in the form of a feeling of peace that flows through me and eliminates all anxiety, allowing me to move forward in faith. After making the decision to send my son to Catholic school, I felt this peace almost immediately. Sometimes, however, confirmation comes in other, less immediate ways. It might instead come through an interaction with another person once the decision has been made or it might be the opportunities that arise or doors that open for you once you’ve moved forward with a decision. Confirmation can be immediate or it might take some patience, but in conversation with God, it will come. In the end, my son had a wonderful first year and is looking forward to first grade! So, next time you face a decision, big or small, use these steps from Saint Ignatius to help you discern your path and find peace

Inmediatamente después de que Jesús recibió el bautismo, se abrieron los cielos y el Espíritu Santo se posó sobre él en forma de paloma, y resonó la voz del Padre que decía: “Éste es mi Hijo amado, en quien he puesto todo mi amor”. Cfr. Mt 3, 16-17

LA SANTA MISA DE HOY ES EN MEMORIA DE FILBERTO Y JUANITA VALENZUELA

Hoy, la temporada de Navidad llega a su fin al celebrar el Bautismo del Señor. Aunque Jesús no tenía necesidad

de ser bautizado, se humilló para ser bautizado por Juan el Bautismo en el río Jordán. Jesús fue bautizado para mostrarnos nuestra necesidad de ser bautizados como un punto de inflexión esencial en nuestro camino de san-

tidad. Cuando Jesús fue bautizado, la voz del Padre vino del cielo afirmando la verdadera identidad de Jesús. "Tú eres mi Hijo amado con quien estoy muy complacido." A medida que se afirma la identidad de Jesús, está equi-

pado para la misión que el Padre le ha confiado.

En las próximas semanas, nuestro Consejo Parroquial comenzará la obra de reevaluación de la visión y misión

de nuestra parroquia a la luz de nuestro llamado a ir y hacer discípulos, como el Señor encargó Su iglesia antes de ascender al Cielo. Por favor, oren por nuestro liderazgo parroquial mientras experimentamos esta im-

portante obra de comprensión de quiénes somos para que podamos cumplir la misión de Cristo para nuestra parroquia de una manera más eficaz e intencional.

Hacer discípulos comienza con nosotros comprendiendo quiénes somos como hijas e hijos amados de Dios. Al encontrar al Se-ñor en los Sacramentos, en particular en la Eucaristía, llegamos a descubrir al Señor como la persona más importante de nuestra

vida. Y, ¿quién no querría compartir un amor tan grande con los demás? Oremos para que al celebrar el Bautismo del Señor, lleguemos a saber quiénes nosotros y cómo el Señor nos está llamando a vivir nuestro Bautismo como Sus discípulos compro-

metidos.

CIELO EN LA TIERRA:

Como católicos, creemos que la Eucaristía es la Presencia de Cristo-Cuerpo, Sangre,

Alma, Divinidad. ¡La adoración es Dios y Tú extendiéndose el uno al otro, al mismo

tiempo! Es un tiempo de silencio y paz de orar ante nuestro Señor. La noche antes de

su crucifixión, Jesús le preguntó a Pedro: "¿Entonces no podrías vigilarme durante una

hora?" ¡Dios te ama y te bendecirá abundantemente! "Ven a mí y te refrescaré." Jesús

nos espera en el Santísimo Sacramento. Él espera a nuestros pequeños actos de fe, de

adoración, de amor, de Acción de Gracias, el arrepentimiento y la reparación que po-

demos ofrecerle como contemplamos Su Majestad Divina.

Por favor, regístrese para pasar una Hora Santa semanal con Jesús. Nece-

sitamos adoradores programados para que otros puedan venir para una

breve visita. Las necesidades en este momento son las siguientes: Jueves,

10:00am a 11:00am y 3:00pm a 4:00pm. Viernes, (todas las horas) de

9:00am a 3:00pm, puede comunicarse con Michelle Schaapveld - 554-9539

para programar.

ORACIÓN DESPUÉS DE LA COMUNIÓN

Saciados con estos sagrados dones, implo-ramos, Señor, tu clemencia, para que, es-

cuchando fielmente a tu Unigénito, nos llamemos y seamos de verdad hijos tuyos.

Por Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
