Today s Meditation TIME The holidays are well behind us; the year stretches out ahead. And what sort of year will it be? To judge by the words of Jesus in today s Gospel, it will be a year acceptable to the Lord. And Jesus surely didn t mean only the next three hundred sixty-five days facing his listeners at that time. When Jesus announced the arrival of God s favor, it was a message for all time, for every year. Similarly, we read today in Nehemiah how the people gathered with solemnity to hear God s word as though for the first time. They listened, and then fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, Today is holy... do not be sad, and do not weep. The year acceptable to the Lord is this year. The day that is holy is this day. The time to listen is now. What sort of year will you have? What sort of day? God s help is always here. What you do with each day can be holy and acceptable to the Lord if you but listen to and act on God s word. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY S READINGS First Reading Rejoicing in the LORD must be your strength (Nehemiah 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10). Psalm Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life (Psalm 19).

SCRIP CHRISTMAS SALES RESULTS Scrip sales from the middle of November 2018 through Christmas 2018 were almost $25,000, resulting in a profit for the school of $1,165. I want to give a big shout out to 2 people who went above and beyond to support St. Anthony School through scrip purchases. First, Lauren Bunten Huggins, a young parishioner who bought all her personal and business (Priority Physical Therapy) gift cards for a school profit of $188. Second, Karen Elvis, a parent of a St. Anthony alumnus, who purchased all the gift cards for her employer, Charles Ingram Lumber, for a school profit of $210. Thank you to everyone who bought gift cards for your support of this program and St. Anthony School! If you are interested in learning more about the Scrip program, contact Teri Kooper @ tkooper@bellsouth.net. STEWARDSHIP SAINT FOR THE DAY - JAN. 31 John Bosco (1815-1888), priest (Memorial) Born to poor parents in northern Italy, St. John Bosco began his ministry by providing shelter and religious instruction for neglected boys. His own education was made possible by the gift of a generous benefactor, and St. John Bosco was not too proud to seek the support of other wealthy and powerful patrons to expand his work. With others drawn to this ministry, he provided religious and vocational training to hundreds of young men and formulated a system of education based on reason, religion, and kindness. 22 Let us regard those boys over whom we have some authority as our own sons, he wrote. There must be no hostility in our minds, no contempt in our eyes, no insult on our lips. We must use mercy for the present and have hope for the future, as is fitting for true fathers who are eager for real correction and improvement. 23 St. John Bosco used his personal history, his love for young people, and his gift for teaching to educate, inspire, and improve the lives of many. May his example prompt us to prayerfully re-assess who we are and what we have -- and how we can use those gifts for others. -Steward Saints for Every Day by Sharon Hueckel

De acuerdo con las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, será el año de la gracia del Señor. Y Jesús con seguridad no se refería solamente a los próximos trescientos sesenta y cinco días cuando hablaba a la gente en ese tiempo. El anuncio de la llegada de la gracia de Dios lo hizo Jesús para todos los tiempos, para cada año. De manera similar, leemos hoy en Nehemías cómo la gente se reunía con solemnidad a escuchar la Palabra de Dios como si fuera la primera vez. Escuchaban y luego se postraban con el rostro en la tierra y lloraban. Pero el profeta decía: Este día está dedicado al Señor no estén tristes. El año de la gracia del Señor es este año. El día dedicado al Señor es hoy. El tiempo de escuchar es ahora. Qué clase de año tendrás? Qué clase de día? La ayuda de Dios siempre está aquí. Lo que haces cada día será santo y aceptable al Señor solamente si escuchas y practicas la palabra de Dios. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura Esdras leyó el libro de la ley de Dios ante la asamblea reunida (Nehemías 8:2-4a, 5-6, 8-10). Salmo Tú tienes, Señor, palabras de vida eterna (Salmo 19 [18]). Segunda lectura Del mismo modo que el cuerpo con sus muchas partes forma un solo cuerpo, así también Cristo (1 Corintios 12:12-30).
