With today’s Gospel, I believe the Father Julius Abuh Office 865-457-4073 Church is asking us to contemplate these three requirements for becoming Rectory 865-457-1317 a true disciple of Jesus Christ; denying ourselves, carrying our crosses and E-mail: [email protected] following him. Secretary : Karen Baird Jesus is not like the politicians of His day, or those currently in our day; Church Office: 865-457-4073 E-mail: [email protected] these prefer to preach the gospel of prosperity without recourse to the reality of the cross. Our Lord Jesus pronounced to the Jews that he was Parish website : not that political conquering Messiah, and declared; “If anyone wants to www.saintthereseclinton.org come with me he must deny himself; take up his cross every day and follow Facebook: Sainttherese Clinton me.” Weekly Mass Schedule: Sat.

    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume IX Issue No. XI December 2013 Christmas 2013 Let Us Take This Opportunity To Renew Our Love for The Infant of Bethlehem Who Has Changed Our World Dear Friends , s Christmas draws near, the world around us starts preparing for commercial reasons. We enjoy the AChristmas decoration, we attend Christmas parties and we look for bargains while shopping. However, the world around us very rarely prepares spiritually for the coming of Christ. As Christians, we believe that God became man; He came to dwell among us. The Lord Jesus has limited Himself and entered our sphere of time and space. God is not distant anymore: He is "Emmanuel," "God-with-us." He is not a stranger, but a Savior who is looking to establish an intimate relationship with us. As human beings, we wonder how could this be? The only reasonable answer is love. God's love has moved Him to take flesh and resemble human beings in everything except sin. He became one of us with the objective to share His divinity with us as the beautiful prayer during the elevation in our Divine Liturgy mentions: "You have united, O Lord, Your divinity with our humanity and our humanity with Your divinity; Your life with our mortality and our mortality with Your life. You have assumed what is ours and You have given us what is Yours, for the life and salvation of our souls . " Furthermore, St. Ephrem highlights that point: "Today the true sun is risen on the world, today a light has come forth in the midst of the darkened earth: God has become man, so that man may become God in his turn; the Master takes upon himself the form of a slave, so that the slave may be converted to his Master.

  • Diocesan Men's Retreat to Be Held at Tennessee
    The Diocese of Knoxville Living our Roman Catholic faith in East Tennessee MEDIA ADVISORY The Chancery October 27, 2015 805 Northshore Drive Contact Jim Wogan Knoxville, Tenn. 37919 865-660-0189 ■ [email protected] www.dioknox.org Diocesan Men’s Retreat to be held at Tennessee Theatre Bishop Richard Stika, Father Larry Richards featured speakers Best-selling author, engaging television host, and captivating speaker, Father Larry Richards will join Bishop Richard F. Stika for a day of reflection and celebration during a men’s retreat sponsored by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Knoxville at the Historic Tennessee Theatre on Sat., Nov. 21 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The theme of the event is taken from Fr. Richard’s first book, “Be a Man! Becoming the Man God Created You To Be” which was published in 2009. More than 100,000 copies of the book have been sold worldwide. In “Be a Man!” Fr. Richards recounts his struggles to learn true manhood, as well as the inspiring stories of others he has served in his decades as a priest. “Sometimes men are left by the wayside, in terms of what it means to be a father and to be involved in a family situation,” Bishop Stika said. “Male spirituality is different from female spirituality, one is not better than the other—it’s just a fact of life. What I hope this does is reinforce the idea that all of us, male or female, have to step up to the plate and be real leaders in our families and in our society,” he added.
