A Viatorian Parish 5TH SUNDAY in ORDINARY TIME FEBRUARY 5, 2017 St. Patrick, Kankakee ~ a Viatorian Parish 5TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME FEBRUARY 5, 2017 0 Salt and Light At a time of rampant individualism, we stand for family and community. At a time of intense consumerism, we insist it is not what we have, but how we treat one another that counts. At a time of growing isolation, we remind our nation of its responsibility to the broader world, to pursue peace, to welcome immigrants, to protect the lives of hurting children and refugees. At a time when the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, we insist that the moral test of our society is how we treat and care for the weakest among us. In these challenging days, we believe that the Catholic community needs to be more than ever a source of clear moral vision and effective action. We are called to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world” in the words of the Scriptures (Mt 5:13-16). US Catholic Bishops, Communities of Salt and Light It is much easier, Jesus, to point fingers and speak with horror about the darkness in our world than to live ablaze with light, revealing the truth of systems and situations, bringing the colors of those around us into vibrant life, and warming the hearts of all we meet with compassion and love. But, we do not choose what is easy. We ask you to flood us with your light and make us light-bringers in our world. It is much easier, Jesus, to separate ourselves from those who believe and act differently from us, to judge and exclude them and preach about the bland lifelessness of our world, than to live with salty spiciness, preserving what is good and true and beautiful, revealing the varied and exciting flavors of different cultures and peoples, healing and cleansing what is wounded and stained. But, we do not choose what is easy. We ask you to fill us with your saltiness and make us spice-bringers in our world. O Lord, we celebrate your grace and truth, your compassion and self-giving, your justice and righteousness, and we offer ourselves to be those who follow your ways, who become light and salt, bringing life, justice and praise wherever we may find ourselves. Amen. John van de Laar This Week: For Reflection … • When have you reached Monday, February 6 out to those in need and felt the light that the Tuesday, February 7 Scriptures talk about? • What did you learn as Envelope Number 370. you had direct contact with people in need? • Wednesday, February 8 What “light” did they give you? 5:40 REP Classes Thursday, February 9 Please bring something for the 12:00 Adoration until 5:00 p.m. FOOD PANTRY! 5:00 Vespers and Benediction Friday, February 10 Pray for These Men and Women Saturday, February 11 Serving in the Military … Sunday, February 12 10:00 Little People’s Church Ryan Barrie, Joshua DesMarteau, Synthia Dorsey, Dustin Foltz, David Hodak, Nathan Hornback, Bulletin Sponsor of the Week Joseph Jordan, Matthew Lanasa, Troy Martin, Sarah Miller, Eye Physicians Justin Phelps, John T. Raimondo, Scott Riegel, Daniel Ryan, Andrew Ryan, of Kankakee Erik Schultz, Gregory Smith, Jessica Smith, Tom Stanley, and Michael Widhalm. Thank you for your support! Be with them, Lord, and keep them safe! What must a Christian do in order for the salt not to run out and so that the oil for the lamp does not run out? The “battery” a Christian uses to generate light … is simply prayer. Prayer is what lights up Christian life. Prayer must come from the heart. As regards the salt that Christians are called to be: this is another Christian attitude – to give of oneself, to give flavor to the lives of others, to give flavor to many things with the message of the Gospel! Both salt and light are for others, not for oneself. Pope Francis, Homily, June 7, 2016 Today’s First Reading from Isaiah reminds us that this light involves not simply personal piety or religious enthusiasm. It involves service to and solidarity with those in need. It is then that the light is most clear and bright. A Stewardship Note ADULT CONFIRMATION PREPARATION and Celebration at the Cathedral Adult Catholics (ages 18 and older) who have been baptized, received First Eucharist, and are practicing their faith, but have not celebrated the Sacrament of Confirmation, are invited to participate in a preparation program.

O Brother Jesus, who as a child was carried into exile, remember all those who are deprived of their home or country, who groan under the burden of anguish and sorrow, enduring the burning heat of the sun, the freezing cold of the sea, or the humid heat of the forest, searching for a place of refuge. Cause these storms to cease, O Christ. Move the hearts of those in power that they may respect the men and women whom you have created in your image; that the grief of refugees may be turned to joy, as when you led Moses and your people out of captivity.

  • February Feast Days.Pub
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
