THE GIFT SHOP IS LOCATED AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE OF THE CHURCH TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Job finds life on earth to be drudgery; he is filled with restlessness (Job 7:1-4, 6-7). Psalm — Praise the Lord, who heals the brokenhearted (Psalm 147). Second Reading — Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel. I have become all things to all, to save at least some (1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23).Gospel — Jesus cured many who were sick with various diseases (Mark 1:29-39). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Soon Catholics will celebrate the greatest event in the history of the world: the Easter Triduum, when we remember Our Lord's Last Supper, His suffering and death on the Cross for our salvation, and His Glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday. These events changed the course of history and made possible a way of life unlike any other. Through these events our loving God showed that He wants us to live joyfully and in peace with those around us. But we know that our lives are not always joy-filled or as God wants them to be. We are often hurt by others or by our own actions and words, and we hurt those around us, also those we love. Sometimes we even forget God in our lives. But God is a merciful God, who is quick to forgive and who desires our happiness. In order to both prepare for the upcoming Holy Days of the Easter Triduum as well as to reconcile ourselves to God and neighbor, the Church has always celebrated the Season of Lent, the 40 days leading up to Easter. Lent is a time for us to consider the ways we have not fully given our lives to God and to those around us and how this can be changed. It is a time to experience the mercy of God and ask for His forgiveness. During this Lenten Season, every Catholic Parish in the Diocese of Venice will be open for the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession) on Friday evenings from 5-7pm and Saturday mornings from 9-11am. Whether you r egular ly go to Confession or you haven't been in decades, I encourage you to make this Season an opportunity to receive the mercy of God in a new way and to find healing and joy in His great Sacrament. Please take time at this website to learn more about the Sacrament of Reconciliation and to answer any questions you might have about it. Be assured of my prayers for you and your family, In Christ, +Frank Dewane Bishop of the Diocese of Venice in Florida For more information see www.thelightisoncatholic.org Page 3 February 8, 2015 WEEKLY OFFERING February 1, 2015 Reg.

Page 7 February 8, 2015 Page 8 February 8, 2015 Last October, the Third Extraordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops was celebrated in Rome addressing the topic: The Pastoral Challenges of the Family in the Context of Evangelization. Following the event, Pope Francis decided to publish the Relatio Synodi, the document that concluded the Synod’s work. The Holy Father also indicated that this document would be the Lineamenta (working document) for the upcoming XIV Ordinary General Assembly of the Synod of Bishops which will take place October 4-25, 2015 in Rome, addressing the topic: The Vocation and Mission of the Family in the Church and Contemporary World. At the end of the Lineamenta, a series of questions are proposed for reflection in order to prepare for the upcoming Synod. Pope Francis, through the national conferences of bishops, has requested that consultation be given with input from the Local Church. For this purpose, Bishop Frank J. Dewane, Bishop of the Diocese of Venice in Florida, has communicated with the Pastors, Parochial Administrators, and Parochial Vicars of the Diocese asking for their observations made in consultation with their local Parish councils and other parish groups. Bishop Dewane invites all other Catholics who wish to submit responses to do so by following the steps below. The responses from the Diocese of Venice will be gathered with those of other dioceses by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops and forwarded to the Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops for the Holy See. —This letter is taken from the Diocese of Venice website www.dioceseofvenice.org In putting together our report to send to the Diocese, we need your feedback. This one way you can have a voice in our Universal Church. For the next three weeks, we will put four questions in the bulletin and ask you to respond to one or more of the questions by e-mailing Lea, Director of Religious Education at Resurrection. Lea’s e-mail is [email protected] 5. What can be done to show that the family has many unique aspects for experiencing the joys of human existence? 6. How can people be helped to understand that no one is beyond the mercy of God? How can this truth be expressed in the Church’s pastoral activity towards families, especially those which are wounded and fragile? 7. In the case of those who have not yet arrived at a full understanding of the gift of Christ’s love, how can the faithful express a friendly attitude and offer trustworthy guidance without failing to proclaim the demands of the Gospel? (cf. n. 24) 8. What can be done so that persons in the various forms of union between a man and a woman — in which human values can be present — might experience a sense of respect, trust and encouragement to grow in the Church’s good will and be helped to arrive at the fullness of Christian marriage? If you would rather reply to all of the questions that Pope Francis is asking in the Lineamenta, you can find the complete document at http://dioceseofvenice.org/synod-consultation/ on this web site you will also find instructions to reply directly to the diocese. Page 9 February 8, 2015 The following article is taken from the Lineamenta in which Pope Francis invites all of the Faithful to answer questions about our Holy Church. The full article can be read by following the link on the Diocese of Venice web site, www.dioceseofvenice.org The Indissolubility of Marriage and the Joy of Sharing Life Together “Authentic married love is caught up into divine love and is governed and enriched by Christ's redeeming power and the saving activity of the Church, so that this love may effectively lead the spouses to God and may aid and strengthen them in the sublime mission of being father and mother. For this reason, Christian spouses have a special sacrament by which they are fortified and receive a kind of consecration in the duties and dignity of their state. By virtue of this sacrament, as spouses fulfil their conjugal and family obligation, they are penetrated with the spirit of Christ, which suffuses their whole lives with faith, hope and charity. Thus they increasingly advance the perfection of their own personalities, as well as their mutual sanctification, and hence contribute jointly to the glory of God” (Gaudium et Spes, 48). 5. What can be done to show that the family has many unique aspects for experiencing the joys of human existence? The Truth and Beauty of the Family and Mercy Towards Wounded and Fragile Families After having considered the beauty of successful marriages and strong families and shown appreciation for the generous witness of those who remain faithful to the bonds of marriage, even when abandoned by their spouses, the Pastors at the Synod asked themselves — in an open and courageous manner but not without concern and caution — how the Church is to regard Catholics who are united in a civil bond, those who simply live together and those who, after a valid marriage, are divorced and remarried civilly. Aware of the obvious limitations and imperfections present in many different situations, the synod fathers assumed the positive outlook indicated by Pope Francis, according to which “without detracting from the evangelical ideal, they need to accompany with mercy and patience the eventual stages of personal growth as these progressively occur.”(Evangelii Gaudium, 44). 6. How can people be helped to understand that no one is beyond the mercy of God? How can this truth be expressed in the Church’s pastoral activity towards families, especially those which are wounded and fragile? 7. In the case of those who have not yet arrived at a full understanding of the gift of Christ’s love, how can the faithful express a friendly attitude and offer trustworthy guidance without failing to proclaim the demands of the Gospel? (cf. n. 24) 8. What can be done so that persons in the various forms of union between a man and a woman — in which human values can be present — might experience a sense of respect, trust and encouragement to grow in the Church’s good will and be helped to arrive at the fullness of Christian marriage? Please e-mail Lea, Director of Religious Education, [email protected] with your answers to these four pertinent questions Pope Francis asks. Page 10 February 8, 2015 Page 11 February 8, 2015 Being Involved and Supportive, Bearing Fruit and Rejoicing THE FIRST STEP AS A COMMUNITY OF MISSIONARY DISCIPLES Pope Francis’ Joy of the Gospel The believer is essentially “one who remembers.” #13 - Joy of the Gospel “Convinced that Jesus communicates new life to those who believe in Him, and that He was raised from the dead in order that we might live, we are united to the risen Lord as a people born anew to a life of hope.” MISSION OF CHURCH OF RESURRECTION LONG-TIME PARISHIONERS SHARE THEIR STORIES OF HOPE...BELIEVERS WHO REMEMBER! JERRY & MAUREEN COPELAND - Maureen remembers before Resurrection was a parish. Msgr. did her Pre-Cana and baptized her daughter, Christine. Maureen taught the Confirmation class. Her favorite Resurrection memory was being on the front lawn outside the old building on Easter Sunday celebrating Mass. Jerry thanks God for the priests who are caring, down-to-earth individuals. They helped his family in all kinds of situations. The priests make sure we know that God is present to us. DICK O’CONNELL is a member since 1979 . He sees the parish as a big family with many opportunities to get involved. He remembers Msgr. calling young couples together and cooking them dinner at his house. This group still gathers today. Before Daniels was a paved road, a parish hayride symbolized his hope is that all will find support through the parish. Dick and his wife, Joann are members of TEAMS OF OUR LADY. He also works with his son, Brian for FAITH & ALE presentations at the parish. CANDI SPERONI joined the par ish about 5 year s ago after seeing a pamphlet which seemed welcoming. Getting to know people and seeing the priests around encourages her. She participates in the Women’s Guild and Craft Club. Her gift of art is given in the many wreaths she creates.

CARRIE BLAIR is car e-giver for her mother, Jennie Truncale. She feels blessed to be a part of this parish and appreciates the support of the community.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM BISHOP DEWANE REGARDING THE CURRENT FLU SITUATION All parishes/missions/chapels in the Diocese of Venice in Florida are being asked to take the following precautions to help mitigate the spread and effects of the Flu. The faithful should be encouraged to share the Sign of Peace without touching hands. This can be done with meaningful eye contact, smiles, and a bow of the head in reverence to another. Please note: the “Sign of Peace” is optional in the celebration of the Mass as the rubrics indicate. Regarding the Precious Blood, at this point individuals have the choice as to whether or not they are comfortable receiving the Precious Blood at this time. Parishes may decide to discontinue reception under both species at Communion. Priests, deacons and extraordinary ministers of Holy Communion are especially reminded of the need to practice good hygiene. All Ministers of Holy Communion are encouraged to wash their hands before Mass begins and after Mass. The faithful are encouraged not to hold hands during the reciting of Our Father. Parishioners should not come to Mass when they are not feeling well. Until the Flu season has passed, these guidelines should be followed.
