Deacon Jeff’s Corner

One of the most important items that often goes unlooked by the media during this pandemic is the emotional/mental health of individuals. In their November survey, a Gallup poll showed that persons who attended religious services weekly (either in-person or virtually) actually showed an increase in “excellent” mental health in 2020. The survey showed 42% of weekly church goers said their mental health was excellent in 2019 and that number increased to 46% in 2020. Compare that to those who said they attended church nearly weekly or monthly where 35% said their mental health was excellent, which was down 12% from 2019. Most notably, those who said they attended church seldom or never had a 13% decrease in excellent mental health in 2020, down to only 29%. It’s hard to draw any definitive conclusions from a survey like this but I would boldly say that having God in our lives changes our attitude. In my opinion, gathering as a community to worship God and especially as Catholics to receive Jesus in the Eucharist has brought some sanity to the madness of this pandemic in my humble opinion.

Many have accused me of threatening people’s health by encouraging them to come to Mass, when what I have said over and over is that if you are medically compromised or have other conditions where being with others could threaten your health, please stay home and watch us or some other Mass virtually. We must stay connected to our faith for our spiritual and physical health and our salvation!

The week of Christmas, my wife, Mary, and I were feeling what I would describe as not 100%. Some congestion, a little cough, but in any other time nothing more than a minor cold. We decided to be tested and gratefully were negative, but we did watch the Jan. 1 Solemnity of the Mary, Mother of God Mass on our Facebook page live. It’s the first time we had done this during the pandemic and I would say this about the experience: Tim Decker and company have done a wonderful job of making the feel of watching the Mass on our Facebook page or YouTube site as good as it can possibly be. Thanks to all of them! However, it simply does not and cannot replace the experience of physically being here as a family and receiving Jesus’ body, blood, soul and divinity in the Eucharist instead of spiritually. Those were the things we missed so badly as we watched from home.

For those of you who need to stay home, I understand and pray for you. I hope that you will watch and take part in the Mass from home at least once a week. For those of you who can be here, please come for your physical, spiritual and emotional health. Together and with God’s unfailing help, we will get through this! Deacon Jeff

Jesus’ Baptism Fulfills All Righteousness by Deacon Dennis

Water parks can be a fun, relaxing way to spend a hot day in summer. We are lucky to have some great water parks in Wisconsin that are easy to get to. Upon arriving, it seems that one or two or maybe all of the rides are calling our name: The Lazy River, The Wave pool, and the Express Tube Slide. If we get to the water park, we are sure to participate in the fun and enjoyment. In today’s gospel, John the Baptist was baptizing the faithful in the Jordan River with water, for repentance of sins. When John looked up, he saw Jesus waiting in line to be baptized. Theologians debate since Jesus is the Son of God, was it necessary that He be baptized. John knows that the power and authority of the one who is to come after him are far greater than his own. His purpose in baptizing so many was to prepare their hearts for the coming of God’s Kingdom. Jesus desired to be baptized in the Jordan by John to demonstrate His total commitment to the Kingdom. Once in the water, what John had been saying about Jesus is shown for all to see. Jesus willingly wants to be baptized at the hands of John the Baptist. He wants to participate in the joy and be the sign of the coming of God’s Kingdom. And God is joyful as well, for he declares that Jesus is His beloved Son, with whom He is well pleased. As Jesus emerges from the water, a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, descends upon Jesus . For as John indicates, while he baptizes with water, the One mightier than he will indeed baptize with the Holy Spirit. Jesus, our Redeemer, helps all of us as God’s children to be born of water and the Spirit. So the next time you find yourself at a water park,

make sure to enjoy the fun and participate with your

family and friends. Be all in! The person behind you in

line as you wait your turn for the Tube Slide may just

be Jesus!
