LIVING GOD’S WORD
There is one problem with Christian discipleship. No one
will ever become a master. The most we can strive for is
to be journeymen, like Jonah and Jesus’ disciples. We
can only show others the way if we commit ourselves to
the journey and walk at the Master’s side, trusting and
listening and following the ways of the Lord.

ADULT/PARENT FAITH FORMATION
TOP TEN THINGS TO GIVE UP FOR LENT
Speaker: Deacon Jim Johnson
Thursday, January 29, 2015, New Hall, 7PM
All are welcome to this presentation. It will count
as a parent faith formation meeting for those who
have children in the Sacramental Preparation process for Reconciliation or Eucharist.
Confirmation students will provide child care.
COMMUNION MINISTER TRAINING
DATE CHANGE
Have you thought about serving as a Communion Minister at Mass? This could be God’s call to you to serve.
We need more ministers for every Mass. Training sessions for new Communion Ministers will be held: Sundays, February 8th and 22nd (you must attend both sessions) from 4 – 5:30 PM in classroom 6 of the School.
For more information contact Deacon Jim at 524-7421.
As a result of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the Church has defined a new pastoral
plan for your care whenever you struggle with illness.
There are rites for children, a communal rite for celebration in the parish, forms of care for the sick at
each stage and transition, and for the desperately ill.
There is a much broader interpretation of who may
be anointed, including not only the visibly ill, but
those battling addiction, or the elderly coping with the
frustrating aches and pains of aging. Children under
seven are normally not anointed, since the oil is associated with reconciliation. (For the same reason,
they do not receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.) However, children close to that age who have a serious
illness often gain a deep level of spiritual insight and
maturity, and may benefit from catechesis for the
Eucharist. Once admitted to confirmation and/or Eucharist, a sick child should be anointed. It is a great
strength of our present rite that a section is included
with prayers tailored to the experience and understanding of a child. Considering our recent history of
being fairly sparing with this sacrament, the generosity of celebration today is helping us to retrieve an
essential part of our tradition of reverence for the
sick.

VIVAMOS LA PALABRA DE DIOS
Hay un problema con el discipulado cristiano. Nunca nadie se convertirá en maestro. A lo más que podemos
aspirar es a ser obreros como Jonás y los discípulos de
Jesús. Sólo podremos enseñarles a otros el camino si
nosotros nos comprometemos a hacer la travesía y caminar junto al Maestro, confiando, escuchando y siguiendo los caminos del Señor.
