SAINT ROSE CHURCH    JANUARY 3, 2021  

 

FromthePastor’sDesk

We human beings have always been intrigued by the wonders of space—especially the light of the stars above us. It is no wonder, then, that God, in His infinite goodness and wisdom, used this elemental symbol as His instrument to reveal His Son as light of the world—a light meant to be shared by all peoples—both Jew and Gentile. This is the story of Epiphany—the story of the Magi following a star to find Jesus, the light of the world, born in a Jewish town but meant to be the Savior to all people. This feast, in many ways more significant than the feast of Christmas itself, proclaims the universal salvation and love of God for all that became incarnate in the Word made flesh. It is the challenger and reminder to all of us to accept this truth and, in our own way, share in the manifestation of the love and light of Christ to all in our world.

Give the gift of friendship in the New Year

Why do Catholics honor the image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus?

Discovering hope and joy in the Catholic faith. January 2021

The image of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a symbol of Christ’s love for us. It is often a heart surrounded by �ame, pierced by a lance, topped by a cross, and circled by a crown of thorns.

Jesus’ love for us burns bright and intense like a �ame. His heart is pierced bythe lance representing oursins and the crown of thornsand the cross remind us ofthe death he suffered tobring us life.

When times are tough, it can be our family and friends who help us through. There wasn't much Jesus wouldn't do for His friends. In fact, He was more concerned with being a good friend than with having one. In our current pandemic situation, we can care for our loved ones as Jesus would: Make spending time together a priority. Connections between loved ones are critical now. When meeting in person isn’t possible, phone calls, letters, and emails can keep us connected. Video conferencing has become a staple of daily life; consider organizing regular get togethers with friends and family using your favorite conferencing program.

Help other people feel important. No matter how you interact, give the other person your full attention in conversation, and show appreciation and understanding

for what he is saying. Celebrate your friends’ successes. A true friend is genuinely happy when something good happens in the other's life. Value differences. Don't try to change your loved ones.

Celebrate their diversity. Be willing to apologize. You

may let each other down but a sincere apology can bring friends closer together. Don't forget old friends. Call someone you haven't been in touch with for a long time. Don't know what to say? Try, "I don't want another moment to go by without being in touch. I've missed you."

Tough times?Throughout

history, God has proven his

faithfulness and care over and over again. He promises that He will help you through whatever tough times you face. “God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Lean on Him.

Tune out the world and tune into God

In our noisy world, it can be hard to hear God’s voice over the din. Yet, listening is as important as talking during prayer. “By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet and in trust your strength lies” (Isaiah 30:15). Talk to Him often, but make a point of listening for God’s voice.

“Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God” (Philippians 4:6).

One good way to determine whether or not a book or pamphlet accurately re�ects Catholic doctrine is to look for an “imprimatur” printed in the �rst few pages of the book. The presence of an

imprimatur generally means that a bishop’s

of�ce has determined it to be free of

doctrinal or moral errors. It may be accompanied by a “nihil obstat” (Latin for “nothing stands in the way”) which means that someone well-versed in Catholic theology has reviewed the contents and found the same thing. Keep in mind that neither the imprimatur nor the nihil obstat imply agreement with the content or opinions. It is particularly important for a book that purports to teach about the faith of the Church to carry the approval of the Catholic Church. There are many well-meaning people who intend to educate others about God’s in�nite love but may have an imperfect understanding of Catholic doctrine. When choosing materials to learn more about our religion, you will want to be sure that they are accurate.

Jan. 1 – Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. Today, we honor Mary, but also Jesus as God. In their honor, pray a Rosary. Because this feast day is on a Monday, Mass attendance is optional (but encouraged) this year. Jan. 25 – The Conversion of St. Paul the Apostle (1st Century). Setting out for Damascus to carry on the persecution of the Christians, he encountered Christ (Acts 9:1-19; 22:5-16; 26:12-18) while on the road to Damascus. He was struck blind from

the experience until he was baptized by Ananias three days later. He converted and began preaching the faith as he travelled around the Mediterranean. Jan. 26 – Sts. Timothy and Titus (1st Century). Timothy was a convert of St. Paul’s and later became his trusted friend, joining him in apostolic work. He was with Paul at the founding of the Church in Corinth. Titus, also a friend of Paul’s, served the early Church as a peacemaker and administrator to a community on Crete.

God gives to us freely, but what does he want in return? Simply put, God wants us to love Him back. Know Him. God made each of us with a space in our heart just for Him. Until we discover it, we may try to �ll it with earthly things, but nothing else �ts. When we turn to Him, the reward is beyond our dreams. Love Him. Jesus said, "You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul,

and with all your mind” (Matthew 22:37). He wants us to surrender to his in�nite love. Show your love by

praying frequently, seeking Communion with Him often, and praising Him continually.

Serve Him. “'Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me'” (Matthew 25:40). When we make sure everyone has enough to eat, warm clothes to wear, and a place to stay, Jesus takes it personally. It’s what he wants from us.

“What do you want from me, Lord?”

In this Gospel passage, Jesus and his apostles entered the synagogue at Capernaum where Jesus taught those gathered at the Sabbath. It was customary for learned teachers to say, “Thus says the Lord…” Instead Jesus said, “I say to you …” He taught as one who spoke with the authority of God. His calm authority astounded Jesus’ listeners. Just as they began to wonder what it meant, he gave them a sign. He further demonstrated his authority by performing an exorcism. Spirits that bedeviled an unfortunate

man at the synagogue recognized who Jesus was. They were

forced to obey Him when he commanded them to depart, despite their reluctance. In fact, God’s

power and authority isn’t just a formality. What God

says, happens. Our kind and gentle Savior

is also our powerful and awesome Lord. As the Second

Person of the Trinity, Jesus has supreme majesty and we will one day

appear before Him to be judged. Yes, he is our divine savior and mediator. But if we say, “Jesus is Lord,” then we give Him our loyalty and obedience.

How can I choose Catholic references that are accurate and faithful?

Mark 1:21-28, God’s authority is not a formality
