Celebrating Catholic Schools Week at Saint Mary Parish with the Students, Families and Teachers of Pope John XXIII School Saint Mary Parish F S O T E 1865 F 3, 2019 Celebrating Catholic Schools Week at Saint Mary Parish with the students, families and teachers of Pope John XXIII School Catholic Schools Week Closing Mass Sunday, February 3 at 9:30 a.m. Saint Mary Parish 1012 Lake Street Evanston, Illinois stmaryevanston.org REFLECTION REV. KEVIN MCCRAY, PASTOR The writer Mark Twain was once heard to say, “What gets us into trouble is not what we don’t know. It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” In the readings today, we hear about a people who think they know all about Jesus---who he is, and who he isn’t. They refuse to recognize him as a prophet, as the Son of God, and as the Messiah. As we began last week to hear this story, Jesus, the hometown boy, is in the synagogue. He proclaims the word of God, he expounds upon it, and the people are amazed. But then in a short time, they began to question both him and his teachings. Amazement turns into fury when these people try to cut Jesus down to their size, as they try to diminish him by his family lineage and the message that he preaches. Rev. Kevin McCray “Isn’t this the son of Joseph….Is this not the carpenter, the son of Mary?” The people in the synagogue are all thinking, “Look, we know him, we know his family, we have seen him grow from a small child in these last thirty years---a nice guy--- but he is nothing special---look, he hasn’t healed a single leper since he came back home. For all the stories about his ministry and his healings---what has he done for us lately?” So these people do what we all do to others in our lives: we build people up...to tear them down. We like to put people on a pedestal, and when they fail us, or when we recognize they have feet of clay---then we like even more to tear them down. We do this to our parents, our siblings, our spouses, our children, our neighbors, our co-workers, our fellow parishioners, and our friends. This is what the people of Nazareth do to Jesus. They build him up, and when he then proclaims God’s love for all people, Jews and Gentiles, they go berserk. His message doesn’t fit into their worldview. So what is getting them into trouble, and endangering the life of Jesus, is exactly what Mark Twain expressed in his words, “It’s what we know for sure that just ain’t so.” The townspeople know that God is only for them. Jesus’ neighbors know that God is only here to save his people, the Jews. That is what they know for sure. But Jesus is trying to show them the true message of God, and he is trying to show them that the extent of his love and his care for his creatures goes beyond the boundaries of the Promised Land, that it goes out to all peoples. God’s bounty, his forgiveness, his love, and his mercy are for the entire world---it cannot be contained, boxed up, or compartmentalized. God’s gifts for us continue to flow from his loving heart, and they flow through our lives to heal us of our feet of clay, where we are called to allow these gifts we receive, to be given away---so they flow outward to all those in our lives to receive the healing touch God—so their clay feet may also be healed. This week, let us ask of God to open our eyes, open our ears, and open our hearts to experience the boundary-shattering love of the Father, whose love knows no limits, whose mercy knows no bounds, and whose forgiveness is there for each and every one of us. As we receive this Good News, let us give it to others. Happy Catholic Schools Week! As we continue to celebrate this week in our parish and at Pope John XXIII School, let us give thanks for this gift that blesses both St. Nicholas and St. Mary parishes. As we celebrate 32 years of educating, nurturing, catechizing, and helping our children grow into young adults, it continues to be our mission to proclaim the Good News to our children through a good Catholic Education. This is a week to recognize all that our children receive by a quality Catholic Education. Our children leave well-prepared to enter high school, with most testing far beyond 9th grade expectations. Our children are confident, open to recognizing their many gifts and talents, and are eager to explore all that God has given them. Our children are faith- filled, where they are poised to go even deeper into their faith, asking questions, and stepping up to spread the Gospel to their fellow students. This week reminds us of our blessings at St. Mary Parish, where we have educated and raised up children since 1874. Our children have impacted many fields of public and private endeavors---all while built on the foundation of our Catholic faith. As we celebrate this week, as we celebrate the last 32 years of passing on knowledge and faith, let us remind ourselves that we have a duty and an obligation to see it flourish. Who in our families, who in our neighborhoods, and who in our other spheres of influence would benefit from a quality Catholic education at Pope John XXIII? It is up to us to continue to value this gift and to invite others to experience its blessings. In a world that fails to recognize that we often believe in things “that just ain’t so,” Pope John XXIII can be the foundation of faith, learning and exploration of gifts and talents---because it is built on truth, it is built on love, and it is built on God.

    FEBRUARY 2013 FEAST DAYS Saturday, February 2 — Presentation of the Lord This feast commemorates Mary’s purification and the presentation of Jesus in the temple. In the Middle Ages, a tradition began of blessing candles and holding a procession of light on this day. As a result it is also known as “Candlemas”— Christ our light has come to us. We also remember the first members of the Bordeaux Sodality who made their first act of consecration on Feb. 2, 1801. Wednesday, February 6 — Saint Paul Miki and Companions In the late 16th century, 26 martyrs of Japan were crucified on a hill. Brother Paul Miki, a Jesuit scholastic, is the best known among these martyrs. When missionaries returned to Japan in the 1860s, at first they found no trace of Christianity. But after establishing themselves they found that thousands of Christians lived around Nagasaki and had secretly preserved the faith. Beatified in 1627, the martyrs of Japan were canonized in 1862. Friday, February 8 — Saint Josephine Bakhita Josephine was born around 1869 in Sudan and raised in the Islamic faith. She was kidnapped as a child by slave traders who gave her the name “Bakhita,” meaning “lucky one.” She was purchased by an Italian consul who brought her to Italy. There she lived with the Canossian Sisters in Venice and was formally introduced to the faith, baptized, and eventually granted her freedom. In 1896 she joined the Canossian Daughters of Charity. She died in 1947. Pope John Paul II canonized this first Sudanese saint in October 2000. Monday, February 11 — Our Lady of Lourdes This memorial honors the mystery of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Friday, February 3 — Memorial of Saint Blaise, Bishop & Martyr St. Blaise was a well educated physician who became Bishop of Sebaste in Armenia. He was persecuted by Agricola, the famous Roman general, who ordered Blaise to renounce his faith. When Blase refused he was thrown into prison where he helped sick prisoners and famously saved a child who was choking on a fish bone. He died in the fourth century and is associated with the healing of throats.

  • Reflections on Meaning and History, the Philippines and Japan
    This paper is presented here as received from the author. Its contents are the author’s sole responsibility. Reflections on Meaning and History, the Philippines and Japan AMBETH R. OCAMPO 1. THERE was a new wave of nationalism sweeping through the Department of History in the University of the Philippines (Diliman) in the late 1980s that grounded itself on understanding the past from the Filipino point of view and expressing it in the National Language, Filipino, instead of English that was seen as a language borrowed or imposed by a half-century colonial experience with the United States of America. Although I was not a UP student in the mid- 1980s I was allowed to attend the undergraduate historiography class of Zeus Salazar who was the force behind the Pantayong Pananaw (Our Perspective) school of Philippine history. Since English was my first language, and the language of instruction in all my years of schooling from the primary to the post-graduate level I realized that some things did not translate easily between English and Filipino. History, for example, could be translated into Filipino in two ways: Historya from the Spanish Historia; and Kasaysayan from Tagalog. Historya, according to Salazar, both as word and concept was inferior to the kasaysayan because (h)istorya like related words: historia (Spanish), histoire (French) and geschichte (German) was rooted in the word “story” or “narrative.” Salazar argued for Kasaysayan on the basis that it was rooted in two words: salaysay (story/narrative) and more importantly saysay (sense/meaning). Kasaysayan being a story about the past, that has meaning for its readers.
