This week's Readings, like last Sunday’s, are about discipleship. Today we hear the account of the call of Simon Peter, Andrew, James and John from Mark's Gospel. These simple fishermen were called by the Lord to do his work, not only as his disciples, but to be counted among his 12 Apostles. I'd like to share an anecdote. It's meant to be an account of what occurred following the Lord's death. He continued appearing to his disciples for 40 days after he was raised from the dead. Jesus instructed and commissioned them to go and make disciples of the entire world, baptizing in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The anecdote continues with Jesus returning to heaven following his Ascension. He was greeted by the choirs of angels, the entire heavenly chorus. They said to him, "Lord, now that you have returned, who will continue your work on earth?" The Lord said, "I have a small group of men and women who love me, who will continue my work there." And the angels, looking at one another, said, "But, Lord, what if they don't?" Then Jesus responded, "I have no other plan." This account is meant to dramatize that the Lord is looking to us, his disciples today, to continue his work. Those who have gone before us, the Apostles, the saints, the millions of people who followed the Lord, now look to us from the heavenly realm to continue Jesus’ work. Each of us is called in a unique way, based on our gifts, on our respective vocations, to be disciples of the Lord, literally, to be his hands and feet, to carry out his work. Members of this faith community, in order to respond to the Lord's call, were commissioned at their Baptism, just as the Apostles were, to help convert our world. We typically evangelize on behalf of the Lord not by what we say, but by how we live out our lives as witnesses to Christ. Our gathering each Sunday at Church as a faith community is part of our witness. As we gather, greet one another, and participate in the Eucharist, we are witnessing to the Lord. Participation in Mass is a powerful witness to our Faith. It is an expression of our desire to be in the Lord’s presence. As we grow in union with Jesus, we respond more powerfully to his love which we have experienced in our life. We worship and praise him as a community of faith, thus making present his love for others by how we build up the Church, Christ’s body. I'd like to share another anecdote that might help dramatize how faith works in our parishes. I'm a history buff; I like to read. One of the things I read not too long ago was about the Old West. You remember seeing the Westerns where a group of people would travel by stagecoach from one town to another. Sometimes they would encounter problems such as outlaws or Indian attacks. Perhaps a wheel or an axle would fail, or maybe there would be a hill too steep for the horses to pull up the coach. The response required of the passengers depended on the type of ticket they held. If you had a first-class ticket, you could stay in the stagecoach. No matter what, you could just stay in your seat. You didn't have to get out of the coach or help. If you had a second-class ticket, you were required to get out of the stagecoach when a problem was encountered. Let's say a spoke on a wheel broke. You didn't have to help. You could just stand there and watch until the work was done; then you could return to your seat. However, if you had a third-class ticket, it was an entirely different story. Not only did you have to get out of the stagecoach, but you had to help lift or jack up the coach to put on the new wheel. You had to help push if it was stuck in the mud or on too steep an incline. Those were the expectations of passengers based on the type of ticket they held. In a parish, you can’t have too many people with first-class or second-class tickets. We need many more who respond like they have a third-class ticket. We are striving to increase the number of parishioners who actively participate in the ministries of our parishes. In another part of the bulletin, there is a list of parishioners who recently submitted a response to our ministry sign-up request. We thank those who agreed to continue their current participation and those who volunteered to begin to help. The stagecoach ticket analogy is offered to encourage those who did not take advantage of the sign-up opportunity to do so by completing one of the Stewardship forms in the pews. As I said, there's a whole array of ministries available. One of the most important is prayer. If you're physically unable to work in a ministry, perhaps you're a prayer warrior. You can pray on behalf of those who are ill in the parish. You could pray on behalf of the works of our Partner Parishes. Do whatever the Lord is calling you to in his service. However, if you're physically able, come join us in one of the ministries. Your participation will be a witness to the Gospel, to truth. Our First Reading was from the Book of Jonah. You remember God wanted him to go to the Assyrians and tell them to repent or be destroyed. Jonah refused to go to Nineveh. He didn’t want any part of saving his enemy the Assyrians or of being a disciple. In order to hide from the Lord, Jonah got on a boat and left Israel. But the Lord sent a large fish that brought him to the shore of Assyria and thus to Nineveh so that he could do the work the Lord had called him to do. God has given us a free will—we can say "yes" or "no" to his call. But when we hear his voice or experience an interior prompting, perhaps after receiving Communion or in personal prayer at home, we must respond. We must say our "yes" and strive to enter deeper prayer. It's just like any other relationship we have, such as with our spouse, a family member or a friend. Unless you're communicating, talking with them, you're not deriving the benefit of that relationship. It will flounder; it won't grow unless through our words or acts we demonstrate to the other person our love for them. It's the same with the Lord. He calls each of us to say "yes" to him. In prayer, we have opportunity to understand what he is asking us to do. Then we exercise choice by saying "yes" or "no." I'd like to share a prayer that St. Teresa of Avila wrote, addressing the issue of discipleship: Christ has no body on earth but yours; no hands, but yours; no feet, but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out with compassion on our world. Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good. Yours are the hands with which he is able to bless. Each of us is to be a blessing, one to the other, witnessing to the love of God we have experienced in our lives. If we are witnesses to these truths for one another, the Body of Christ is strengthened. Mother Teresa said, "A saint is someone who is a sinner, but continues to try, no matter what obstacles are encountered." Each of us has a multitude of obstacles and difficulties that we encounter in our life, but the Lord says, "I am with you; I will strengthen you in this Eucharistic meal. I will enable you to go forth with love, with the necessary strength, to overcome those difficulties and obstacles, to proclaim my Name and to build my Kingdom."
Together We Build up God’s Kingdom on Earth
In the Fall of 2017 we conducted a ministry fair by placing in the pews documents containing the many volunteer opportunities that currently exist, and others that we hope to implement in the near future. We asked parishioners to please complete the forms, place them in the collection baskets, or send them to the parish office. We suggested that even those currently involved in ministries in the Partner Parishes submit one of the forms. We did this in order that we can develop a more definitive list of those who are active in ministry. Our intent is to complete a project in which all of those expressing an interest will be included on the ministry schedule. Unfortunately, we received only about 50 responses. Those who expressed an interest or whose form we received are listed below. If you submitted a form but your name is not listed, please let us know. We are continuing our request for the ministry form to be completed and submitted in order for our project to continue and achieve its purpose. We couldn’t celebrate a beautiful liturgy without our reader, cantor, altar servers, ushers, Eucharistic ministers, choir, sacristans, or our congregation participating by responding to the prayers of the Mass. We all know this in the depth of our hearts but sometimes fail to remind ourselves of this reality when we consider how we might serve. In 1992, when the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a pastoral letter on stewardship, they spoke forcefully of its purpose and intent. The purpose of stewardship is that all Christians be given an opportunity to fulfill their baptismal commission of service. The intent of stewardship is to remind us that, as disciples of Jesus, we are on a “journey toward” and “retreat from.” “It’s a journey toward the challenging ideal of the good steward found throughout the Gospels; it is a retreat from the ‘I-me-my’ selfishness that the world promotes as a laudable goal.” As members of the Partner Parishes, we are striving together to build up God’s kingdom on earth. We are strengthened by participation in the liturgy, the sacramental life of the Church, and then sent forth to fulfill our baptismal commission of service in God’s Vineyard. — Fr. Tim
Listed here are the names of parishioners who have submitted their Stewardship forms, and a list of our Partner Parishes ministries. Even if you already are involved in one or more of these ministries, please submit a completed form, as we are updating our files and attempting to streamline our recordkeeping and scheduling processes to make them more accurate and efficient. Thank you for your help and support of these efforts!

Blessing of Throats to Take Place After All Masses Feb. 3 and 4
The feast of St. Blaise is on Saturday, Feb. 3, 2018. Little is known about St. Blaise prior to his mention in a court physician’s medical journal. The physician, AëSave the Date—Feb. 14, 2018 tius Amidenus, spoke of St. Blaise’s aid in treating objects caught in the throat. He was also mentioned in Book of Acts, where he was aided by animals and Lent begins on the treated people and beasts alike. Ash Wednesday St. Blaise is believed to have begun as a healer then, eventually, he became a “physician of souls.” He Feb. 14, 2018 then retired to a cave, where he remained in prayer. People often turned to St. Blaise for healing miracles. St. Blaise is often depicted holding two crossed Memorial Bookplates candles in his hand, as shown below, or in a cave with wild animals. He is also often shown with steel combs. Still Available The similarity of the steel combs and wool combs conMemorial bookplates for our tributed to St. Blaise’s parish hymnals are still available leadership as the patron for a $20 donation.

Family Home Blessing Kits Available Now At Partner Parishes Churches
The beginning of a new year provides a special opportunity for us to gather with family and friends to mark the joyful occasion and to thank God, from whom all blessings come, for the gift of a new year. One way to celebrate this gift is by blessing our homes. Whether our current home is a house, apartment, mobile home, or even a dorm room, we can bless our home as we greet the new year. To encourage this beautiful religious celebration, we at the Partner Parishes of The Historic Church of St. Peter and St. Cecilia are providing free Family Home Blessing Kits. On Epiphany weekend, we ran out of Blessing Kits. We have replenished our supply and they are now in the vestibule of each church. Please take one with you this weekend and bless YOUR home by joining hands with family and friends, saying the prayer in the kit, and writing with the enclosed chalk above your entry door as indicated. Below is the prayer contained in the kit:
Family Blessing of Homes With hands joined, the parents say the prayer of Blessing or all/family members say the prayer together. Lord God of heaven and earth, You revealed your only begotten Son to every nation by the guidance of a star. Bless this house and we who inhabit it. Fill us with the light of Christ, that our concern for others may reflect your love. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen. Optional: With chalk, you may write above the door 20 + C + M + B + 18 (The letters are the initials for the three magi, Casper, Melchior and Balthasar. The numbers are the New Year.) Optional: You may sprinkle your home with holy water.
LENTEN LONGINGS Discipleship Bible Study Needs Leaders, Participants This year during Lent, our Partner Parishes will conduct a “RENEW” Lenten Series called “LENTEN LONGINGS” which will consist of small faith-sharing groups that will meet once a week. This year’s theme is For the Life of the World, and participants are called to commit to works of justice and to the ongoing conversion of hearts. As we did last year, we are hoping to have both an afternoon and an evening group. Groups will meet at the church office.
We need a leader for each of these groups, so won’t you consider volunteering your time as a disciple of Christ’s word by offering your services in this capacity during the six weeks of Lent this year? If you’re interested in leading or participating in either of these groups, please call the office as soon as possible:
