4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED Continued from Page 2 There are many ways to handle distracons. If we are distracted by thoughts about our families or friends, we should pray for them. If we lose our focus, we need just “reRcollect” ourselves. If some worry or concern just won't leave our mind, then we deal with it and come back to prayer or make it part of our prayer. And when words just won't come, the ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH only prayer we might offer is our presence, our suffering, and our desire to be close to the Gretna, Nebraska Lord. Most importantly, we need to be paent with ourselves. These things are not sinful, but reminders of our human frailty. Our weaknesses and good efforts are all acceptable to READINGS THIS WEEK God, who reads the love in our hearts and the good intenons of our minds.
MONDAY: Heb 11:32R40/Ps 31:20, 21, 22, 23, 24 SAINT AGATHA [25]/Mk 5:1R20
TUESDAY: Mal 3:1R4/Ps 24:7, 8, 9, 10 [8]/Heb 2:14R Virgin and Martyr 18/Lk 2:22R40 or 2:22R32
As in the case of St. Agnes, another virginRmartyr of the WEDNESDAY: Heb 12:4R7, 11R15/Ps 103:1R2, 13R early Church, almost nothing is historically certain about 14, 17R18a [cf. 17]/Mk 6:1R6
St. Agatha except that she was martyred in Sicily during THURSDAY: Heb 12:18R19, 21R24/Ps 48:2R3ab, 3cdR the persecuon of Emperor Decius in 251. Legend has it 4, 9, 10R11 [cf. 10]/Mk 6:7R13
that Agatha, like Agnes, was arrested as a Chrisan, FRIDAY: Heb 13:1R8/Ps 27:1, 3, 5, 8bR9abc [1a]/Mk tortured, and sent to a house of prostuon to be 6:14R29

NEXT SUNDAY: Jb 7:1R4, 6R7/Ps 147:1R2, 3R4, 5R6 She is claimed as the patroness of both Palermo and [cf. 3a]/1 Cor 9:16R19, 22R23/Mk 1:29R39
Catania as well as nurses and diseases of the breasts. The year a er her death, the slling of an erupon of Mt. Etna was aributed to her intercession. As a result, people connued to ask her prayers for protecon against fire. The scienfic modern mind winces at the thought of a volcano’s might being contained by God because of the prayers of a Sicilian girl. Sll less welcome, probably, is the noon of that saint being the patroness of such varied professions as those of foundry workers, nurses, miners and Alpine guides. Yet, in our historical precision, have we lost an essenal human quality of wonder and poetry, and even our belief that we come to God by helping each other, both in acon and prayer?
SAINT PAUL MIKI AND COMPANIONS Martyrs

Nagasaki, Japan, is familiar to Americans as the city on which the second atomic bomb was dropped, immediately killing over 37,000 people. Three and a half centuries before, 26 martyrs of Japan were crucified on a hill, now known as the Holy Mountain, overlooking Nagasaki. Among them were priests, brothers, and laymen, Franciscans, Jesuits, and members of the Secular Franciscan Order; there were OBSERVANCES THIS WEEK catechists, doctors, simple arsans, and servants, old men and innocent childrenVall united in a common faith and TUESDAY: The Presentaon of the Lord; World Day love for Jesus and his Church.

the Philippines, but I did not come from any other country. I am a true Japanese. The only reason for my being killed is that I have taught the doctrine of Christ. I certainly did teach the doctrine of Christ. I thank God it is for this reason I die. I believe that I am telling only the truth before I die. I know you believe me and I want to say to you all once again: Ask Christ to help you to become happy. I obey Christ. A er Christ’s example I forgive my persecutors. I do not hate them. I ask God to have pity on all, and I hope my blood will fall on my fellow men as a fruiul rain.”

When missionaries returned to Japan in the 1860s, at first they found no trace of Chrisanity. But a er establishing themselves they found that thousands of Chrisans lived around Nagasaki and that they had secretly preserved the faith. Beafied in 1627, the martyrs of Japan were finally canonized in 1862.

TRUST IN FOLLOWING GOD

Brené Brown’s 2010 book entled, “The Gi s of Imperfecon” introduces a term that I love: gremlins. I previously only knew that word as the tle of the
1984 film with Howie Mandel. Brown ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH refers to negave selfRtalk as “gremlins.” SelfRtalk Gretna, Nebraska is that interior conversaon that we have, either posive or negave. This selfRtalk governs our moods, atudes, and worldview.
PRAYER TO SAINT JOSEPH

In the spiritual life, there’s a similar concept. The Oh, St. Joseph, whose Chrisan East calls it λογίζομαι (logizomai) which protecon is so great, roughly means ‘thoughts.’ These logizomai (or so strong, so prompt thoughts) of the spiritual life are akin to gremlins before the Throne of or negave selfRtalk in the psychological sphere. God, I place in you all In Chrisan spirituality, the goal is Christ and my interests and becoming more like him in every way. But the desires. Oh, St. Joseph, logizomai can get in the way, just as the gremlins of negave selfRtalk can get in the way of do assist me by your psychological health. The nagging quality of these logizomai might be described as powerful intercession, temptaons, yet

St. Paul wants us to be free of these anxietyRproducing spiritual blessings, thoughts
that disrupt the interior peace and quietude for which our souls so desperately through Jesus Christ, long. St. Paul isn’t saying that the demands of responsible living are detrimental to the our Lord. So that, spiritual life. Rather, he is saying that the presence of these tempng thoughts are the having engaged here beginnings of sin taking deeper root in our soul, influencing our atudes and behaviors, below your heavenly moving us farther away from the image of Christ within our souls.

Mk 5:15;
Lk 15:17) because ours was transformed and renewed by the power of Jesus’ name (cf
Rom 12:2). Imagine what life could be like if we connually operated out of a tranquil soul rather than an anxious one!

Lord, please put your peace in my heart. I am worried and anxious about many things.
My mind races and obsesses. I can’t help thinking about my problems.
And the more I think about them, the more depressed I become.
I feel like I’m sinking down in quicksand and can’t get out.
Calm me, Lord. Slow me down; put your peace in my heart. Amen
