Christ, we are asked to take an active part in the life of our parish.

STEWARDSHIP: Time, Talent, Treasure
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS
Old customs fade slowly, and in 1560 the
Council of Trent tried for significant change in
pastoral care of the sick. People resisted, thinking that the last breath was the right time for the sacrament. Although physical improvement was often noted
after anointing, it was seen as a kind of bonus, rather than
an expected outcome of a prayer for good health, strength,
patience, and even healing. More than four hundred years
later, many people still do not ask for anointing until it is
literally too late for the person to have reasonable hope of
healing, or at least be aware enough to participate in the
ritual. By then, it may even be too late for viaticum, the
true “last rite.”
We have a treasure in our tradition that we seem
reluctant to use. We visit the sick, we anoint those who are
in the first crisis of illness, we give Communion to those
who are dying, and we keep vigil and pray for those close to
death. When anointing is celebrated early enough, optimally when the sick person is still at Sunday Mass, it can be
a source of courage, faith, and hope for a difficult road
ahead. When we anoint our sick, we remind them that they
belong to Christ and a community of faith. We bring them
into the presence of Christ to reconcile, heal, and give
strength and hope. We resist forces that isolate and alienate the sick; the symbol of touch is a powerful act of acceptance. Why wait until the crisis of illness is dire before we
apply such a rich remedy to body and soul?

WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH
Today’s Gospel story of John
and his disciples seeing and following
Jesus sounds so simple and casual, it’s
easy to miss the significant acts of faith
that are made.
John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there is
the Lamb of God.” John’s faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that John’s disciples immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith.
They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to
spread the good news of their discovery: “We have found
the Messiah.”
It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful people were being
fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God,
the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come.
Nearly everyone among the Jewish people was watching
for the Messiah back then; who in our own society watches
for signs of the presence of the Messiah today?

STEWARDSHIP: “Sharing God’s Gifts”
As Catholics, we give in gratitude for what God
has given to us; this is what motivates us. We give because of faithfulness. The offertory collection for Sunday, January 4, 2015 was $9,411.00 with 131 envelopes used. Approximately 350 envelope packets are
mailed every 2 months.
In using your offertory envelopes each week,
please make sure your envelope number is listed on it.
Also, please make sure we have your correct address to
avoid unnecessary additional fees for returned mail
from the post office. If you do not know your envelope
number, please call the Parish Office and we will gladly
give it to you. If you are currently receiving offertory
envelopes in the mail and are not using them each
week, call the Parish Office.
