Please contact the church office if you would like to host a Home Mass. What s happening in our US today? Bishop McElroy lays out some basic tenets that will help us find our way through an erroneous autonomy that is rampant in the US today and is echoed in much of our new President s policy. He points out that it is incompatible with our Catholic social teaching and the Catholic view of the human person a view that provides the foundations of economic justice and a just society. Bishop McElroy s truly great address was presented Jan 10 to the symposium "Erroneous Autonomy: The Dignity of Work" organized by the Institute for Policy Research and Catholic Studies at The Catholic University of America, Washington D.C. Call the office to get a copy of this address. FINANCIAL UPDATE 2017 January 22 weekend $5, Thank you for your continued support.

QUESTIONS OF POWER All of today's readings, especially the Gospel passage from Matthew, claim that God honors the poor and the lowly, and promise God's blessing in the Kingdom proclaimed by Jesus. Many of those who encountered Jesus, and later Paul, thought that this talk of the meek inheriting the earth was a lot of foolishness. Isn't it obvious that the "powerful," those with military, economic, and social power, are running things? Paul seems to say that we must first understand the nature and purpose of power. Because of Christ, the power derived from self-serving human structures will fade sooner or later. Lasting power comes only from God; power that provides care for others and heals divisions between us. Worldly power is of real value, but is to be exercised responsibly, in service only to God's purposes. This is the kind of power that in the end really matters. The meek and the pure of heart seem to understand this most clearly. Because they are free of the burden of protecting their own power, they may more fully reveal the truth of God's power. THE NEXT STEP What might it take to become poor in spirit and pure in heart? Today's Gospel introduces the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew chapters 5 through 7), which explores this in detail. The Sermon suggests that learning to open our hearts to trust in God is fundamental. The sermon serves as a call to enter a journey of learning to place our lives in God's hands. Consider taking some time to read the entire sermon, in one sitting. Listen for the stirrings of the Spirit. As you read, you might ask what is most reassuring and what is most challenging for you at this time in your life. What invites you to reflect more deeply? What invites you to take action as the next step in your journey?
