From the back of the bulletin: James C. Niedermeyer ~ Lawyer ~ Pastor’s Message ~ 5th Sunday 2015 – Dear God, I have heard about The Seven Deadly Sins? What are they and why are they called “deadly?” Signed, Mort Ally Concerned Dear Mort, I gave the Ten Commandments to Moses nearly 3300 years ago. You know them well, I am sure. They were given to Moses and My children (you too!) as a sign of my Covenant. Observe my decrees and you will live forever in My love. Breaking of these commandments separates you from My love. Breaking the commandments are also called “mortal” sins since they kill the life of My sanctifying grace. “Deadly” sins are particular bad habits that lead you to commit a mortal sin. That’s why they are called “deadly.” There are seven deadly sins: pride, envy, lust, anger, gluttony, greed, sloth (laziness). Pride is the key to all other sins, because after you believe that you’re more important than you actually are, you rationalize your behavior and make excuses for lying, cheating, stealing, insulting, ignoring, and such. You become like a god in your own mind. Even the disciples took a while to learn about pride. That happened in the gospel today when James and John asked to sit at My Son’s right hand when He came into the Kingdom. Jesus told them and the disciples: “If you wish to be the first in the kingdom, you must be the servant of all.” No, there is no place for pride! So how do you defeat the Seven Deadly Sins? By practicing the “Conquering Virtues”: humility vs. pride, kindness vs. envy, chastity vs. lust, patience vs. anger, fasting vs. gluttony, generosity vs. avarice, diligence vs. sloth. I give you the strength through my sanctifying grace to practice these virtues! Virtues keep you from the deadly sins. If you avoid the deadly sins, you will not break My commandments and enter into mortal sin. Then you will remain in My Love. Pretty straightforward, right? Thanks for the great question, Mort. Signed, Loving and Caring God P.S. Kindness is difficult to give away, because it keeps coming back. There will be no Pastor’s Talk’s February 8. Please join us for a special presentation on the “Churches in Paris” in the KC Hall at 9:40am instead.

Stewardship Baptism Prep Classes Offertory Giving ~ February 2015 Actual: Budget: Month to Date $ 14,547.02 $ 14,805.00 Year To Date $ 518,955.12 $ 505,485.00 Difference: $ -257.98 $ 13,470.12 “Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed…He told them, ‘Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.’” – Mark 1:35, 38 In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship. Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes - healing the sick and preaching. Yet, Jesus also makes time to be alone in prayer. It is through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to do what God wishes us to do. Be sure to find time every day to be with God. Attention Widows, Widowers and Singles: Hope all of you can come for lunch at Gustav’s in Clackamas on Wednesday, February 11.

Monday afternoons in Gresham, Feb 23-Mar 23, 2:00pm—3:30pm Trinity Lutheran Church, Gresham Please call to register: Emilie 503-668-5545 [email protected] Family of the Month ~ Larry & Michelle Rose –submitted by Marlowe Jayme This month, Council 3179 is proud to present an exemplary family, Brother Larry and Michelle Rose. Both Larry and Michelle were born in California. Michelle was raised Catholic and attended St. Catherine’s and St. Bernadine's Catholic Schools. Larry converted to Catholicism while he was in high school. He graduated from San Diego State University with post-graduate studies at the University of Oregon. Larry and Michelle met in Carlsbad, California and got married there and have just celebrated their 37th wedding anniversary. They moved to Oregon in 1978. The Rose’s family now consists of 2 fantastic children, David and Lorissa and 6 wonderful grandchildren, Aurora, Parker, Natalia, Chase, Aidric and Calista. The Rose family joined St. Henry in the early 80’s when Fr. McMahon was pastor. They taught CCD classes to 8th graders and Larry also served as a Eucharistic Minister. Currently, Larry is a member of the Pastoral Council, serves as a Eucharistic Minister and is a member and officer of the Knights of Columbus in both the 3rd and 4th Degree Councils. Brother Larry helps with the Knights of Columbus monthly breakfast and is Honor Corp Commander in the 4th Degree Council. Both Larry and Michelle sing in the 11:00 Mass Choir as well as participate in Dinner for Eight. They chaired last year’s successful Church Picnic with the help of many wonderful parishioners. Family is very important to the Rose’s and their extended family includes Mike and Shirley Sanzone, longtime St Henry parishioners and Michelle’s six brothers and sisters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, great grandchildren, uncles, aunts and cousins. Most holidays, birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated together with this large group of four generations, one way or the other. At Christmas in particular, the family gathers at Mike and Shirley’s home for a Christmas Pageant with all the children enacting the story of Bethlehem, complete with costumes. There are camping trips, outings to the coast or the mountain together as well as attending church, school and sports activities for the younger ones. When there is health or other concerns, the family pulls together to support one another. This year, Brother Larry is the chair for St. Henry’s Building the Domestic Church program, “The Family Fully Alive”. In the words of St John Paul II, “The family has the mission to guard, reveal and communicate love”. Through this program, our families can realize more fully their mission to be an authentic domestic church through daily prayer, catechesis and Scripture readings. Brother Larry asks each Knight, parishioner and their families to actively participate and join in the Knights monthly Movie Night, monthly Family Activity project and charitable or volunteer community activities they can do together as a family. In this way we can help make our council, parish and community a better place. Let’s pray to God to help us lead the lives He intended and continually ask for His guidance. We can all follow the words of Pope Francis, in line with the Knights, to do more by living our principles of charity, unity and fraternity with “the creativity of love” for those in need. It is an honor for Council 3179 to have Larry and Michelle Rose as Family of the Month for February. Pinochle Would you like to learn the game of Pinochle or improve your game?
