FROM THE PASTOR’S DESK There are many phone calls we would rather not answer---like those annoying telemarke ng calls at dinner me---or those “bad news” calls from rela ves and friends, when they have to tell us something bad or sad has happened---or those calls from people who go on and on without regard for your me or interest. Then there are those phone calls you long for, and await with great an cipa on---like the cell phone call from a loved one who bears good news about the birth of your grandchild, or a call from your teen that is late ge ng home but safe and on their way. Answering calls is a staple of our lives---some we avoid like the plague; others we really crave.

The readings this Sunday are all about God’s calls to us. Samuel was so naïve that he did not even recognize God’s voice calling him while he was dozing in the Temple of the Lord. In fact it took several calls from God and the help of a wise man named Eli to get through to Samuel that the Lord was calling him to serve his people. The gospel passage, too, is all about a call. Andrew hears Christ calling him to come and see where he lives and what he is about. As it turns out, Andrew is not only taken with Christ himself, he invites his brother Peter to join him in spending me with this Anointed One of God. These stories remind us that Christ calls all of us to be his disciples and to follow him. Christ calls all of the bap zed to serve him; to bear witness to his love; to build up his Body, the Church; and to advance the Kingdom of God by picking up their cross and living virtuous lives. In other words, we all have a common voca on to holiness, that universal call to live in loving communion with the Lord every day. Then there is another call from the Lord, a call to embrace a par cular voca on or pathway to holiness: in marriage, single adulthood, ordina on or religious life, and to live with a form of chas ty that is appropriate for that voca on.

There is yet another call embedded in today’s Scripture lessons, and it is the call issued to all Jesus’ followers and people of good will everywhere to uphold the sanc ty of life in all it stages, and the dignity of each and every human person. St. Paul puts it very well in Sunday’s second reading: he says: “The body is not for immorality; it is for the Lord. And so, you are not your own. You have been purchased at what a price! So glorify God in your body.” In other words, St. Paul is teaching us that our bodies, in fact our very lives belong ul mately to God, not to us or anybody else but to God. Our bodies, our lives are a gi from God; they are on loan to us from God; they have been created and redeemed by God and their nal des ny is to be with God in the glory of heaven.

News and Notes: This coming week marks the 48th anniversary of the Supreme Court decision, Roe vs. Wade. It is so tragic that millions of our youngest human lives have been snu ed out through acts of abor on since that legal decision was rendered. Bodies that ul mately belong to God have been violated; lives that are a gi from God have been destroyed; and all under the guise that human beings should have the right to terminate the lives of unborn children. The bishops of our country have designated this coming Friday, January 22, as a special day of penance for all Catholics. We are invited to do some form of penance for the viola ons of the sanc ty of life and the dignity of the human person that have been commi ed through acts of abor on. And so, I invite you to fast or to give alms in memory of all the vic ms of abor on, and in support of all women who are experiencing anguish and remorse because they have procured an abor on in the past. In addi on, join me in praying for all those mothers who are currently feeling pressure to end their pregnancy through an abor on. God is calling all of us to be advocates for the precious gi of life…may the Eucharist, the gi of Christ’s Body, help us to hear and answer this noble call.

Blessings to all of you in the week ahead!

If you are visiting our parish, we extend a warm welcome. Please feel free to introduce yourself to the celebrant. If we can be of service to you in any way, please let us know. We look forward to seeing you again.

YOUTH AND ADULT FAITH FORMATION Faith Formation

Robyn Yannone [email protected] Adolescent Coordinator

Doing Small Things with Great Love People are always talking about incorpora ng faith into our everyday lives, making our homes a “domes c church,” and raising children with strong founda ons in Church teachings. But when you’re helping your 3rd-grader with his remote learning classes, trying to keep your toddler from ea ng the cat food, and doing Zoom work calls from your bedroom closet, perhaps the only prayer your children have heard you saying lately is “God help me.” But like everything else, the key is to take it one day at a me, not to be too ambi ous, and to prescribe to St. Thérèse de Lisieux’s “Li le Way” philosophy to become a saint: “Do small things with great love.”

Here are some simple, li le habits, tradi ons, and ideas that can help to bring God into our homes and our children’s hearts:

Even before you get the kids out of bed, say a morning o ering with them like “Good morning, dear Jesus. This day is for you. We ask that you bless, all we think, say, and do” or “I give to you my Lord this day; All I do, think, and say.” Over breakfast or as you go around the house opening the window blinds, start with a statement of praise on the gi of the day like, “What kind of beau ful day did God give us?” and encourage posi ve responses no ma er what the weather, such as “a sunny play day,” “a cloudy cozy day,” or “a snowy blanket day.” When you’re helping your children on with their shoes in the morning, make a Sign of the Cross on the toe of each shoe and pray “May God guide your steps.”

There is usually a dona on bin right next to the supermarket exits. Teach your children about dona ng to the needy by having them pick out a small food item (remember, this needn’t be a prime rib!) to place in the bin. When you hear a police, re, or ambulance siren, pray for those in whatever distress with a simple Sign of the Cross or a short “Hail Mary full of grace, to the su ering please make haste!” Celebrate the feast day of the saint your child is named for or the anniversary of his/her bap sm. It’s a great opportunity to talk about living a saintly life. Have a special dessert or decorate with paper crosses. Light a candle at dinner me or prayer mes to help your family remember that Jesus is the Light of the World. Find ways to sneak Scripture into the everyday. If you have a child who o en gives up easily on tasks, encourage him/her with “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” Or when something good happens, make a habit of exclaiming “All good things come from our Father above!” Instead of hanging a cross up high over a bed or a doorway, hang it low in your child’s room so they can kiss it good night before bed me. When you’re tucking your babies in at night, ask them what they are most thankful for that day. Point them to God “who gives us everything we have and knows what we need.”
