“HERE AM I, LORD; I COME TO DO YOUR WILL.” This refrain
from today’s responsorial psalm is a fitting mantra for all believers as
Ordinary Time opens before us. The first reading recounts the story of
Samuel, who is told by Eli to respond to the Lord’s call with the words
“Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.” The Gospel passage today
recounts the call of the first disciples, who declare that they have found
the Messiah. This wonderful set of scripture readings reminds us to stand
ready to listen to the call of the Lord Jesus. As these words are proclaimed today, let us make the words of the psalmist our own and declare
that we are open once again to the invitation to become more dedicated
disciples of the Lord.

Gracious and loving God, we understand that you call us to

Christ. We pray with grateful hearts, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Second Sunday of Ordinary Time
THE PASTOR’S PEN
Last week I received from the Steier Group the results of the Campaign
Planning Study, and shared this in a meeting with the pastoral council, finance council, school board and the two renovation committees. A summary of the report will
be shared with all parishioners. The good news is there is support to proceed with
the campaign. Responding to your input, some modifications need to be made to the
project, and better communication of our plans must be done. Stay tuned!
At the pastoral council meeting this past Tuesday we worked on identifying
the strengths and growth areas for our parish. This process will lead us to establishing our pastoral priorities. This week I begin working with the school board on
crafting a new long range strategic plan. I am grateful to Chris McDowell leading
the board as chairman.
Soon you will be receiving in the mail your 2014 Contribution Statement.
Thanks to all who contribute financially to CTK, giving back to God a portion of
your treasure. It is time for everyone to assess themselves as a faithful steward of
the Lord’s gifts. After Mass today please take home a Little Burgundy Book on
stewardship. Over the next 4 weeks, I ask every parishioner use their book with its
daily six minute reflections on stewardship in the light of the Gospel of Mark. It
begins with Sunday, first week, so start with it today. Cut out and use the stewardship prayer below to begin or conclude your daily meditation. We are reminded that
stewardship is not optional for a follower of Christ. Stewardship is not about raising money. It’s a whole way of life, based on the belief that we are truly daughters
and sons of God. Our goal is that all parishioners more fully embrace a stewardship
way of life.
Last weekend I wrote about our big corps of altar servers (75). Over the
years they have all been trained by Eric Woratschka, and he gives them refresher so
that we can have the best servers at Mass. A big thanks to Eric for his generous
stewardship of time and talent in this important ministry. And thanks to the new
servers, now coming on board at weekend Masses. Many of them are the younger
siblings of our older servers. Their stewardship, giving of their time and talent for
the good of the parish, is an inspiration to all. An additional thanks is in order to the
parents of our servers that get them to practices and Masses, especially the early
Masses on Mondays and Fridays.
Keeping track of all our liturgical ministers is no small task. All the scheduling is done on a new online program, Ministry Scheduler Pro. I, and with the
staff’s input, decided to use this for ease of scheduling, sending out reminders, and
for parishioners to get their own subs. And an app on their phone and mine makes
this so cool! Previously we had multiple people scheduling greeters, and servers and
Eucharistic Ministers. Consequently, families in multiple ministries were scheduled
at different Masses on the same weekend. Now Bridget, our parish administrative
assistant, oversees all this. The monthly fee we pay for this online program saves
hours of labor and headaches. This is an innovative solution to a scheduling over
200 parishioners. And this is in line with the core value of Innovation, given in our
Vision Statement for CTK.
I am so pleased that 20 of our eighth graders, 1 seventh grader, along with 5
SHG students (CTK alums) and 9 adult chaperones are going on the March for Life
pilgrimage to Washington, D.C. this week. They leave this Wednesday evening and
will return Saturday. Please keep them and all pilgrims in your prayers.
Have a blessed week,

"All [the clients] were told about the procedure itself
was that they would experience slight cramping similar to menstrual cramps, and that was it. They were
not told about the development of the baby. They
were not told about the pain that the baby would be
experiencing or the physical effects or the emotional
effects that it would have on them. They had no idea
who was going to be there to help them when they
fell apart afterwards. They were taken into the room
then, and, as I said, there was no counseling done.
These women basically had no idea what
they were getting themselves into."

“Glorifying the Lord by your Life”
I’m going to begin my column by using that title
since you have heard me say those words for over seven
years now at the end of Mass. Let me explain its significance. When the New Roman Missal was translated into
English, Pope Benedict added as an optional ending for each
Mass: “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.” The
Pope wanted to emphasize that what we do at Mass should
change how we live our lives after we leave the Church and
rejoin our families, friends, and community at large.
So in other words, after giving God thanks and
praise, listening to His Word, and being fed by the graces of
Eucharist, we should be different and our actions should
witness God’s role in our lives as we live in the day to day
world. So I want to celebrate stories of how individual
members of our parish and groups acting together witness to
God’s love in their lives and how their actions bring the
light of Christ’s love to others in our community and parish.
You have heard Fr. Joe talk this past Sunday of how
in Baptism we have put on Christ and are charged to bring
His light to others by our actions and words. The real secret
of being a disciple of Jesus is to realize how much he depends on our hands and our hearts to make his presence felt
in our world. I will love celebrating how so many of you
make his presence felt in diverse ways and light up our parish with His love. Peace!

Martyr Martin
Dr. King’s birthday, which is
observed this year on January
19th, is an invitation to reflect
on how the scriptures speak to
the contemporary world—our
very own. His speeches recall
the sounds and images of Advent—he quotes or paraphrases
Isaiah rather frequently. And
the message that he brings and
the story of his assassination
point to Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Borrow a book or
rent a video of Dr. King’s speeches. Enjoy the poetry as you
heed the prophecy.
“Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never
rolls in on the wheels of inevitability. It comes through the
tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals
who are willing to be co-workers with God.”
