St. Charles Borromeo Catholic Church 8033 N. Dixie Hwy. • Newport, MI 48166 Phone: 734-586-2531 • Fax: 734-586-3900 www.stcharlesnewport.org January 17, 2021 Gospel Meditation Our faith is not just about ideas. It’s really about having an encounter with God and, in particular, the Risen Christ! Once we give ourselves over to the notion of God’s presence, we have to train ourselves to listen for God’s voice and be attentive to God’s call. Having companions on our faith journeys is so incredibly important as they can help us fine-tune our listening skills and discern God’s voice from others we may be hearing. Faith is all about having these profound encounters not only with God but with our brothers and sisters, and creation itself. Anyone or anything that is alive with God’s presence becomes an occasion for God to speak and call us to deeper graces and experiences. “Come, and you will see.”

The example and teaching of Jesus, the lives of the saints, those living among us and those glorified in heaven, and the wonder and beauty of creation can all serve to help us listen more clearly and assist in positioning ourselves for this profound God meeting. It is an encounter that can quickly and easily lead to a friendship and intimate intertwining of our souls to their Maker, making a claim on us like no other. Then, the Word of God moves from being just a body of ideas to something we simply accept and do. The person of Jesus Christ swiftly moves from being just a MASS SCHEDULE good prophet in word and deed to the incarnate presence of God Himself, the Lamb of God. The voice leads us to the Person behind it. Saturday (St. Anne): 4:30pm Sunday (St. Charles): The Gospel is hard to follow. We can intellectually debate whether what Jesus said 8am, 10am, & 12pm is really what we are asked to do. The Gospel ideas do not always make sense in our practical, secular world. The person of God always does. We can debate the Weekday Masses practicality and sense of ideas and doing so often keeps the more difficult ones at a Monday & Wednesday: safe distance away from us. Jesus said to love our enemy, but we really don’t need 8:30am (St. Charles) to do that, our minds try to convince us. It just doesn’t make sense. Yet, if Tuesday & Friday (except 1st Friday): we are truly in love with the God who 9:00am (St. Anne) is behind the voice of those words, they make perfect sense. Our deep and First Friday: 8:30am (St. Charles) intimate love of this God would even First Saturday: 8am Holy Hour & find us laying down our lives for Him 9am Mass (St. Charles) if necessary. Speak Lord, your servant is listening. CONFESSIONS: 3:00pm Saturdays at St. Anne ©LPi 6:30pm Tuesdays at St. Charles

Parish Mission Statement: "We the parishioners of St. Anne and St. Charles Borromeo welcome everyone to join us as a band of joyful missionary disciples, proclaiming the salvation of Jesus Christ through worship and service to all."

CLUSTERED PARISHES OF ST. ANNE AND ST. CHARLES BORROMEO Page 5 St. Charles Academy News from Third Grade!

In addition to learning the traditional types of topics like multiplication, plants and animals, religion, and Michigan’s history, the third graders are also learning how to budget their money in real- world situations. The Vanguard Company has graciously given our classroom a free economics program complete with job applications, classroom cash, and a model online banking site. The students hold jobs, earn a salary with opportunities to earn bonuses, they pay fines for breaking our rules (which hasn’t happened very often), and they pay monthly rent for their desk and chair. The best part is our class auctions! Students may choose to bid on real prizes in the hope of winning their favorite items or they may choose to save their money for future investments like purchasing their desk (or a neighbor’s desk to charge them rent). Congratulations to Chase Reisig, who is the first in third grade to own property! Many thanks to those who have donated prizes!
