  • January 17, 2021� � � � � � � � � � � � � Second Sunday in Ordinary Time�

    From the Desk of the Pastor�

    If you’ve been paying attention to the world of late, it seems to grow crazier and crazier. I think there are

    a couple of reasons for this. Allow me to share.�

    The first reason the world is crazy is the pursuit of truth. I can’t help but think of the passage from the

    Gospel of John 18:28�40, “The Trial before Pilate”. Pilate raises the age�old question, “What is truth?” To

    be honest, Truth stood before him. He was too blind to recognize it. For us today, truth is what “I” � the “I”

    that you see in the mirror � choose to believe. Whatever our trusted source of truth might be, the message is

    actually relative. If this source agrees with “me”, then it’s truth; if it doesn’t, it’s obviously wrong. Just like

    Pilate, our world stands before THE Truth which has not changed in two millennia and won’t change after

    us. As the Letter to the Hebrews says: “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever” (13:8).

    Let’s stay focused on Him as He IS Truth, in turbulent times and not.�

    The second reason for our crazy world is related to the first. I think of the old word “acedia”. The Cate-

    chism of the Catholic Church defines it as “a form of depression due to lax ascetical practice, decreasing

    vigilance, carelessness of heart” (#2773). Acedia is first introduced in relationship to sloth. So, what might

    be missing from our ascetical practices? Well, first, we must make time for prayer. Prayer isn’t really about

    “my” convenience; it’s about God’s. God is always present to us, IF we are truly open to that presence.

    Prayer is the response to God’s invitation to praise Him for all that He gives to us. If “I” have the attitude

    that God is at “my” bidding, where and when “I” decide it should be, then there is something wrong with

    “my” prayer. Second, let’s look at our prayer. Is it about “me” and what “I” want/need? Perhaps the hard-

    est prayer is the one that caused Jesus to sweat blood, “Not my will, but yours be done” (Mark 14:36 and

    Luke 22:42). Where is our prayer focused? What carelessness has entered into our spiritual lives? �

    I say all this as I look just not at the big world, only a small part of it � Saint Matthew Parish. When peo-

    ple ask me how it’s going, I teasingly say for me, yes, my title has changed; however, the headaches are the

    same! To be honest, many of my struggles as Pastor revolve around truth and acedia. I wish to lead you to

    THE Truth as best as I can without acedia distracting us as we journey toward Him. �

    See you at the Eucharistic Table!�

    Confirmation 2021�

    Confirmation

    will be taking place

    in the Fall of 2021.

    Though part due to

    the coronavirus pandemic, the pastoral staff has decided

    that we will be celebrating the Sacrament during the Fall

    season moving forward. This means that our students

    will be Confirmed in the Fall of their 9th grade year,

    rather than the Spring of their 8th grade year. Please

    know that this decision was not made lightly; much

    prayer and thought have gone into it. If you would like to

    know more, please email or call Jonah Soucy at

    [email protected], 412�923�3415.�

    If your son or daughter is in 8th Grade, it is not too

    Saint Ma�hew Parish� � � � � � � � � Visit us at www.SaintMa�hewPgh.org�

  • late to get them caught up so that they can be Confirmed

    with the next class, which will take place sometime in the

    Fall semester of 2021. Our virtual Confirmation

    Preparation classes will begin on Sunday, January 17th

    and continue each Sunday from 7� 8:30pm. If your child

    would like to be signed up or you have any questions,

    please contact Jonah. If your child has not been attending

    classes for a while, there will be a little bit of catch up to

    do. We are here to help with the process! God bless!�

    Port Authority Notice!�

    We have been notified by the Allegheny County Port

    Authority that due to a County Public Works

    construction project, the 4�Troy Hill route will be

    detoured and 37 stops will be temporarily discontinued

    from December 28 through March 2021. This

    temporarily discontinues the stop at Mt. Troy Road and

    Geyer Road. Those who use the bus to access St.

    Aloysius will need an alternate means of transportation. �

    St. Vincent de Paul Donation Boxes�

    While a fourth bin has been added, people still seem

    to be piling things around the boxes rather than IN the

    boxes. Be reminded that donations at the boxes are

    ONLY for clothes and shoes to be placed INSIDE the

    bins. NO OTHER donations are acceptable at the boxes,

    such as partially used paint cans, children’s car seats,

    furniture, and the like. Please help to keep the area

    around the boxes presentable for the sake of the

    neighborhood. Your cooperation would be greatly

    appreciated. �
