READ ALL ABOUT ~ Raymond of Penyafort, OP, c. 1175 – 6 January 1275), was a Spanish Dominican friar in the 13th century, who compiled the Decretals of Gregory IX, a collection of canonical laws that remained a major part of Church law until the 1917 Code of Canon Law abrogated it. He is honored as a saint in the Catholic Church and is the patron saint of canon lawyers. From a letter by St Raymond Penyafort, priest (Monumenta Ord. Praed. Hist. 6, 2, Romae 1901, pp 84-85) May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest The preacher of God’s truth has told us that all who want to live righteously in Christ will suffer persecution. If he spoke the truth and did not lie, the only exception to this general statement is, I think, the person who either neglects, or does not know how, to live temperately, justly and righteously in this world. May you never be numbered among those whose house is peaceful, quiet and free from care; those on whom the Lord’s chastisement does not descend; those who live out their days in prosperity, and in the twinkling of an eye will go down to hell. Your purity of life, your devotion, deserve and call for a reward; because you are acceptable and pleasing to God your purity of life must be made purer still, by frequent buffetings, until you attain perfect sincerity of heart. If from time to time you feel the sword falling on you with double or treble force, this also should be seen as sheer joy and the mark of love. The two-edged sword consists in conflict without, fears within. It falls with double or treble force within, when the cunning spirit troubles the depths of your heart with guile and enticements. You have learned enough already about these kinds of warfare, or you would not have been able to enjoy peace and interior tranquility in all its beauty. The sword falls with double and treble force externally when, without cause being given, there breaks out from within the Church persecution in spiritual matters, where wounds are more serious, especially when inflicted by friends. This is that enviable and blessed cross of Christ, which Andrew, that manly saint, received with joyful heart: the cross in which alone we must make our boast, as Paul, God’s chosen instrument, has told us. Look then on Jesus, the author and preserver of faith: in complete sinlessness he suffered, and at the hands of those who were his own, and was numbered among the wicked. As you drink the cup of the Lord Jesus (how glorious it is!), give thanks to the Lord, the giver of all blessings. May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest and speed you on your journey; may he meanwhile shelter you from disturbance by others in the hidden recesses of his love, until he brings you at last into that place of complete plenitude where you will repose forever in the vision of peace, in the security of trust and in the restful enjoyment of his riches. The family of Page Spinharney wishes to thank all our parish family and friends for their prayers and sympathy at Page's passing. We also wish to give a special thank you to Father Gillespie for his prayers and support and for the beautiful mass. Thank you to the St. Joseph Bereavement Committee for the delicious food they provided after the mass. Your caring and generosity was very much appreciated. ~ Sincerely, Mary Alyce andBarryVisioli Bereavement Committee Ministry The Bereavement Committee is a compassionate group of volunteers who assist families who have just experienced the death of a loved one. During the families' time of sorrow the Bereavement Committee responds to the gospel message “to comfort all who mourn.” When a Church member dies we offer a meal to the family. It can be served in the Church Hall, or we can bring the meal to the home after the funeral. We have five teams that take turns so you are only called upon two or three times in a year to help. Our Church provides the meats and each team member provides one side dish. These items are a casserole, salads, fruit, dessert, rolls, ice tea, etc. They can either be home made or bought. We also need help to serve the meal in the Church Hall and clean up afterward. We really need some more help so if you would like to join this Ministry we would love to have you join a team. Please call me, Barbara Mazzola, at 2242433(home). 3 St. Joseph Catholic Church & School January 19, 2020 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick Mass Intentions (Readings) If you are ill or about to be hospitalized for surgery January 19: The Second Sunday in Ordinary Time and wish to receive the Sacrament of Anointing of the (Is 49:3, 56/1 Cor 1:13/Jn 1:2934) 5:00 p.m.
