4 Corpus Christi Catholic Church The Family: The first school of Discipleship By Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted The Catholics Sun, I grew up on a farm in northeast Kansas, where riding horseback to our one-room schoolhouse, taking care of the pigs and cattle, working in fields and spending time with the family came as naturally as breathing. Thanks to my parents spiritual leadership, so did prayer. Without the availability of weekday Mass, and only on Sundays when good weather allowed for travel by our pastor and us parishioners, Mom and Dad still deeply impressed upon their six children the importance of the Eucharist, regular Confession, and a daily connection to the source of life, our loving God. We had a simple school of prayer, that is a domestic church, that is, an intentionally Catholic home. It was not, of course, an ideal environment for growing in the faith, and it was probably a different environment than most of you face, but, whatever the circumstances, God provides what we need, if we make good use of what He has made available. Today, most of you who are parents face a secularized society, a culture that breathes air that is partially poisoned, and in some places deeply so. In these times, it is difficult to keep the sense of prayer and relationship to God and others foremost in your homes. But it is not impossible. As St. Paul says (Rom 8:31), If God is for us, who can be against us?. I want to offer four steps to assist parents to make their homes true domestic churches, places where Jesus is honored and followed intentionally. Making these four components of the family schedule and movements of the heart will bless you unimaginably and build a legacy of true discipleship for future generations. Reclaim Sunday as the Sabbath As Sunday goes, so goes the week. From the very creation of the world and forever, God knows our tendency to work instead of enjoying sacred rest. In addition to assuring that your family celebrates Mass on the Sabbath for us Christians this is Sunday, the day of the Lord s 4 resurrection and first day of the week seek to make Sunday one of prayer, family fun and enjoyable time with friends and neighbors. Prayer, the Oxygen of Family Life The family that prays together, stays together; these words of Venerable Patrick Peyton are true. Prayer is the oxygen of the soul and of the Christian home. Dads and Moms, make the decision to bring prayer into the daily life of your family. This needs to begin with you. Couples who learn to pray together each day, and who live their marital embrace in fidelity to its true meaning open to life and a mutual gift of self experience a peace the world cannot give. The word divorce, much less the reality of it, never enters their home! The family Rosary I most highly recommend. One of my most wonderful memories of childhood is of Mom and Dad praying the Rosary with us children, as we all knelt before their bedroom dresser adorned with symbolic artwork of the Faith. Other devotional practices can be built into daily life, too, such as prayer before meals, Advent wreathes, Stations of the Cross during Lent and visits to the Blessed Sacrament at church. Meditatively reading the Bible, reciting the Liturgy of the Hours or praying with a resource like Magnificat are also good ways to listen to the Lord and surrender to His Plans. What matters is beginning the day by opening our hearts to God. The Daily Family Meal A reputable study in the 1990s concluded that among all of the habits in families where children were successful in school and in other social endeavors, the daily family meal was number one. This has been replicated in other studies since. While correlation does not prove causation, it would be foolish to ignore the overwhelming evidence and compelling common sense here. Whatever sacrifices are necessary to make this

5 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 4, 2018 happen, I strongly encourage you to find the way to share meals together as a family. Eating together encourages natural bonding. This is one of the reasons so many cultures have distinctive foods which bless not only the body, but also the heart and soul. Increase together time; Decrease technology time Any critique of a tool requires a qualification tools are not, in themselves, evil. However, some tools, while technically neutral in a moral sense, are increasingly problematic. Obsession with technological screens is clearly the addiction of our times. In a recent interview, Chamath Palihapitiya, a former Facebook executive once in charge of user growth, strikingly says, I feel tremendous guilt. Consumer internet businesses want to figure out how to psychologically manipulate you as fast as possible and give you back that dopamine hit. [Dopamine is the brain chemical that indicates pleasure in the brain.] It literally is at a point now where we have created tools that are ripping apart the social fabric of how society works. People need to hard brake from some of these tools. The precious and irreplaceable nature of family time makes it a primary target of the evil one. What to do about this is a serious question we must face as a society. Parents, you have the ability and the responsibility to train your children up in the understanding and proper use of tools, and more importantly in living a truly human and Christian life. I urge you to place limits on the use of screens in all their forms and to increase together time as a family. Build times of prayer, family fun and new traditions as alternatives. Parents who do so construct a legacy of beautiful memories from which their children and grandchildren will find strength and joy. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord, says Joshua at a moment in time where Israel was considering unfaithfulness (Jos 24:15). Dads and Moms, you are the leaders of your own home, the first teacher of your children; God has given you the grace and mission to disciple your children in the footsteps of Jesus. 5 Blake Marie Shook CONGRATULATIONS!

7 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 4, 2018 Older Adults Ministry: Reaching Out to Our Isolated and Lonely Seniors at Home The Older Adults Ministry began at Corpus Christi in June 2017 to serve our older adults and their family members. Since then, we have gathered monthly to share resources and have promoted community awareness events that support Catholic teaching and respect all life. Our ministry efforts are in support of the Gospel s call to serve, especially Matthew 25:36-40: as often as you did it for one of My least brothers, you did it for Me, as well as the verse from Leviticus 19:32: Show respect for the elderly and honor them. The Senior Advocacy Resource Group of Ahwatukee (SAGA) was founded in 2011 to provide resources, education, and advocacy for the senior population in Ahwatukee. In 2018, SAGA will partner with four Ahwatukee churches to train volunteers on how to reach out to the isolated and lonely seniors in our church communities. Corpus Christi will expand our Older Adults Ministry by being the first of the four churches to offer this training. Join us on Thursday, February 22 from 4-5pm in rooms 7 & 8. If you have any questions or would like to become involved in this advocacy effort, please contact Vicki McAllister at Vicki is SAGA s 2018 Chairperson and the Case Manager for YOPAS (the YMCA Outreach Program for Ahwatukee Seniors). She will be working with YOPAS Program Director, Jill Sears to provide the training for volunteers from Corpus Christi as well as the three other churches: St. Benedict s Catholic Church, Desert Foothills United Methodist Church, and Mountain View Lutheran Church. Lost & Found If you are missing something you think you lost at church, please call or stop by the Parish Office with a description of the item so we can check our lost & found for you. 7 2 nd Annual Corpus Christi F P E Important Update!

8 Corpus Christi Catholic Church Frequently Asked Questions How do I register? All Catholics living in the Parish area and regularly participating in the liturgy are invited to register in the Parish. Church attendance alone does NOT make you and your family registered members. Registration is required for Baptism, First Communion, First Reconciliation, Confirmation, Marriage and Catholic Education programs. Adults 18and over need to be registered separately from their parents in order to get married, have their own children baptized, or be Godparents or Sponsors. In order to be a Godparent or Sponsor or to receive discounted tuition rates at Catholic Schools, one must be a registered Catholic and active in the parish, which is indicated by use of contribution envelopes or the Online Giving program. Registration forms can be filled out in the Parish Office or via our parish website. How do I have my child Baptized? Before scheduling the date, please call the Office for a welcoming conversation with the priest. A preparation class is also required for parents prior to the child s Baptism and are offered once a month. How do I request a Communion Call or Anointing of the Sick? Please call the parish office at DO NOT WAIT until someone is near death to have the person anointed! Although Anointing of the Sick was once known as Last Rites, waiting until a person is near death could risk that person not being able to receive the Sacrament if he or she should pass away prior to the priest being able to arrive. Anointing of the Sick can only be administered while the person is still alive. How do I get married in the Church? The Diocese of Phoenix requires a NINE MONTH marriage preparation process. John Deg, Director of Married Life Ministries, will meet with you to explain the process, including when you will meet with the Pastor to set a date. Do NOT set the date prior to this meeting as it cannot be guaranteed until then. 8
