SMILE Wedding Anniversaries A blessing will be given at: Holy Family-Kingston, 4pm Mass Holy Family Markesan, 10:30am Mass Fr. Paul will administer the blessings to couples after Communion. These prayers are for the couples, their families and the church community. Regarding wedding anniversaries, there will be a sign up sheet in the back of the church where you can put in your wedding information. It would be a wonderful opportunity for the couples to celebrate wedding anniversaries every month, in all the churches, with our own community. Marriage is not between the two people, it s three: Man, Woman and GOD

Question - Besides the Eucharist, where else do we encounter God at the Mass? Answer at end on this page. From Chosen: Confirmation Excerpt from 10 reasons to attend Mass. Posted on Badger Catholic website. Badger Catholic is a registered student organization on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus whose goal is to help students lead deeper lives..2) It s absolutely important - We can split everything into groups of things that have relative importance and into those that have absolute importance. It s important (absolutely) to understand this, because your understanding of truth depends on it. Relatively important things might only be important for some people or for the time being. For example, take studying for your final exams: It s not important for your younger brother to study for your final exams, and once you turn in your Scranton's or Bluebooks, it will no longer be important for you, either. Another thing could arise, such as a family emergency, which should make sense to be more important for you at the time. Absolutely important things are important for everybody at all times. For this example, imagine a colossal asteroid is predicted to destroy the world two days from now. This would become of absolute importance to everyone on Earth. For students to be more concerned about the following finals week would not make sense, and neither would logic validate the worrying about the health of an ill pet fish. Your race, gender, income bracket, occupation, or relationship status does not affect what is absolutely important, because those things put all items of relative importance into perspective. If Jesus Christ died and rose on the third day, then that fact is absolutely important. If it s true, then nobody s life is an accident or by chance, suffering has meaning, and death is not the end. If it s true, then everything we do and every decision we make should be oriented toward God (Colossians 3:17). Thankfully, it is true, and in this way, the Mass has importance of the absolute kind. 1) Jesus is there - What s in your apartment refrigerator? Some moldy cheese. What s in your dorm? Your smelly roommate. What s in the library? Books and the prospect of studying them. What s in the church s tabernacle? Jesus Christ and His promise of eternal life. Boom. That s right, Jesus Christ, who promised 2,000 years ago that He would always be with us as the Bread of Life (John 6:22-59) is waiting for you to come into the doors of a Catholic church to participate in His everlasting sacrifice at the Mass (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). And since Jesus welcomes everybody, your smelly roommate can come with you. Just leave the moldy cheese at home.
