2 Second Sunday In Ordinary Time Page 2 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 18, 2015 Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you. 1 Corinthians 6:19a WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH Today s Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and following Jesus sounds so simple and casual, it s easy to miss the significant acts of faith that are made. John points to Jesus: Look, he says, there is the Lamb of God. John s faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that John s disciples immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus. The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to spread the good news of their discovery: We have found the Messiah. It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly everyone among the Jewish people was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our own society watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah today? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

4 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Page 4 God Bless, Fr. Mike COMPARE YOURSELF TO WHOMEVER? If you compare yourself to another, you may feel greater or less in doing so. But, when you compare yourself to whomever you could be with the Grace of God.....you will walk humbly through life. The Man In The Mirror If you get what you want in your struggle for self, and the world makes you king for a day, just go to the mirror and look at yourself, and see what that man has to say. For isn t your Father, or Mother, or Brother who upon you their judgment will pass the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass. You may be Jack Horner and Chisel A Plum and think you re a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass thinks you re only a bum, if you can t look him straight in the eye. He s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest, for he s with you right up to the end. And you ve passed your most difficult dangerous test, if the man in the glass is your friend. You may fool the world down the pathway of years, and get pat s on the back, as you pass, but your final reward will be headache or tears, if you ve cheated the man in the glass. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Giggles: A nun asked her 4th grad class, Tell me something millions of dollars can t buy? The class genius answers, Happiness! Patrick answers, Poverty. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blessed are the poor. The more things you have, the more you have to dust. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A man just inherited a fortune and he decided to stay at the Waldorf. As the bellhop takes his luggage, the man asks the desk clerk, Can you change a hundred for me? The desk clerk says, At the Waldorf, a hundred is change.

5 January 18, 2015 Page 5 Segundo Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 18 de enero de 2015 Su cuerpo es templo del Espíritu Santo. 1 Corintios 6:19a EN BÚSQUEDA DEL MESÍAS El relato del Evangelio de hoy en el que Juan y sus discípulos ven y siguen a Jesús, suena tan sencillo e informal, que fácilmente pasan desapercibidos los importantes actos de fe que ocurren. Juan señala a Jesús: Miren, les dice, este es el Cordero de Dios. La fe de Juan en Jesús es evidente, tan evidente que los discípulos de Juan inmediatamente se van de su lado y siguen a Jesús. Los dos discípulos a su vez hacen un acto de fe. Ellos siguen a Jesús, pasan tiempo con él, y no demoran en compartir la buena nueva de su descubrimiento: Hemos encontrado al Mesías. Es fácil olvidar que las expectativas de generaciones, las esperanzas de muchos siglos de fieles se estaban cumpliendo en estos sencillos actos de fe. El Cordero de Dios, el Mesías, anunciado por los profetas, finalmente había llegado. Prácticamente todo el mundo en el pueblo judío estaba a la búsqueda del Mesías en esa época; quién de nuestra sociedad busca señales de la presencia del Mesías hoy día? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

6 January 18, 2015 Page 6 INFLUENZA Suspension of Cup & Other Precautions CHRISTMAS GIVING TREE As a precautionary measure, Bishop Myron Cotta has asked pastors to make the following temporary changes in order to minimize the spread of infection. These measures are intended to insure everyone s health and well-being, and we will re-visit this subject March 1st. Discontinue the administration of Holy Communion in the cup. Parishioners are to receive the sacrament in the hand. The Sign of Peace should be shared without shaking hands. At the Our Father, refrain from holding hands. Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are reminded to cleanse their hands with an alcohol-based antiseptic before and after Holy Communion. Those who take Holy Communion to the sick and home-bound should take the same precautions. ~Diocese of Sacramento, Office of Worship St. Joseph s Catholic School OPEN HOUSE Sunday, January 25th 11:30am to 2:00pm We welcome your family to come and learn more about St, Joseph Catholic School.
