Saint James Catholic School Coaching position for the 2018-19 season: Head (7 th -8 th Grade) Boys Basketball To apply please email a cover letter, resume and three professional references to: Brandon Vincent bvincent@sjschoolonline.org In the First Chapter of Genesis Marriage is One and Indissoluble Let us recall that when questioned about the unity and indissolubility of marriage, Christ referred to what was in the beginning. He quoted the words written in the first chapter of Genesis. In the course of these reflections, we are trying to penetrate the specific meaning of these words and these chapters. The meaning of the original unity of man, whom God created male and female, is obtained (especially in the light of Genesis 2:23) by knowing man in the entire endowment of his being, that is, in all the riches of that mystery of creation, on which theological anthropology is based. This knowledge, that is, the study of the human identity of the one who, at the beginning is alone, must always pass through duality, communion. Let us recall the passage of Genesis 2:23: Then the man said, This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called woman, because she was taken out of man. In light of this text, we understand that knowledge of man passes through masculinity and femininity. These are, as it were, two incarnations of the same metaphysical solitude before God and the world. They are two ways of being a body and at the same time a man, which complete each other. They are two complementary dimensions of self-consciousness and selfdetermination and, at the same time, two complementary ways of being conscious of the meaning of the body. St John Paul II - Theology of the Body Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee PARENTING POINTERS From Archdiocese of Louisville Family Ministries Office Your Thanksgiving meal is probably over, but you may have leftovers. May it prompt you to reflect on your abundance. Consult your family about one way during Advent that you can use extras around your home (food, toys, tools...) to ease the lives of those who don't have as much.

"There are different kinds of spiritual gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of service but the same Lord; there are different workings but the same God who produces all of them in everyone." 1 Corinthians 12:4-6 We need to pay special attention to the gifts we are given. God called fisherman to be apostles and great preachers. We never know what gifts God will call us to use. The talents we are called to share may be the ones of which we are least aware. From Archdiocese of Louisville Family Ministries Office Pentecost is a feast of fear, community, and bravery. Have you ever feared for the safety of your spouse? When? What helps you keep your marriage vows? Have you ever needed to defend your spouse to others? Stand up for each other's goodness. Gently and privately correct if necessary.
