Corpus Christi Mission Statement
We, the Catholic Community of Corpus Christi, are called to continue the work and teachings set forth by Jesus Christ. We are committed:
• To make the Eucharist the center of our lives by cele-brating it joyfully and meaningfully as a community,
• To grow as an involved and loving community, • To preserve church and family traditions, • To provide a Catholic education and opportunities for
spiritual growth to all age groups, • To reach out to those in need.
As a parish, we dedicate ourselves to live out our faith through service where each member shares with others the gifts and talents received from God.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at Corpus Christi Parish
every Thursday following the 8:30AM Mass. We have a book of intentions available on the table in the back of church for you to enter prayer intentions each week so that
these intentions can be included by those praying during Adoration.
Remember Canon (Church) Law requires that someone is physically present in the church when the Blessed Sacrament
is exposed.
Sign Up Sheets are in the back of the church.
Reflections on the Readings
. Feast of the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph
On this day within the Octave of Christmas we honor the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. In honoring them, we also honor all families, big or small. And in honoring all families, we honor the family of God, the Church. But most especially, we focus in on the hidden, day-to-day life of the Holy Family of Nazareth. What was it like to live day in and day out in the house-hold of St. Joseph? What was it like to have Jesus for a son, Mary as a wife and mother, and Joseph as a father and husband? Their home would have certainly been a sacred place and a dwelling of true peace and unity. But it would have also been so much more. The family home of Jesus, Mary and Joseph would have been, in numerous ways, just like any other home. They would have related together, talked, had fun, disagreed, worked, eaten, dealt with problems, and encountered every-thing else that makes up daily family life. Of course, the virtues of Jesus and Mary were perfect, and St. Joseph was a truly “just man.” Therefore, the overriding characteristic of their home would have been love. But with that said, their family would not have been exempt from daily toil, hurt and challenges that face most families. For example, they would have encountered the death of loved ones, St. Joseph most likely passed away prior to Jesus’ pub-lic ministry. They would have encountered misunderstanding and gossip from others. Our Blessed Mother, for example, was found with child out of wedlock. This would have been a topic of discussion among many acquaintances for sure. They would have had to fulfill all daily chores, earn a living, put food on the table, attend gatherings of family and friends and the like. They would have lived normal family life in every way. This is significant because it reveals God’s love for family life. The Father allowed His Divine Son to live this life and, as a result, elevated family life to a place within the Trinity. The holiness of the Holy Family reveals to us that every family is invited to share in God’s divine life and to encounter ordinary daily life with grace and virtue. Reflect, today, upon your own family life. Some families are strong in virtue, some struggle with basic communication. Some are faithful day in and day out, some are broken and deeply wounded. No matter the case, know that God wants to enter more deeply into your family life just as it is right now. He desires to give you strength and virtue to live as the Holy Family. Surrender yourself and your family, this day, and invite the Triune God to make your family a holy family. Lord, I do offer myself to You this day and in doing so I offer You my family. I offer every relationship, be it good or difficult, and I offer every challenge we face. Please come and sanctify my family, making it holy in imitation of your family in Nazareth. Jesus, I trust in You. Source: https://catholic-daily-reflections.com/2016/12/29/the-feast-of-the-holy-family/

Teach Your Family
Good and gracious God, who filled Simeon with the Holy Spirit, we bless you for revealing to us the Light of your salvation. Fill your family with grace and, like Mary and Joseph, may our love for you remain strong so that, filled with the light of faith, your family may grow in obedience to your Word. Bless and protect all families who seek your embrace. Open their eyes to see the glory of your Son. You have promised the Church unity in faith and love; as you fulfilled your promises by being part of the Holy Family. Be present in our midst and make us the instruments by which you heal the world. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph A Family Perspective by Bud Ozar
Today’s Gospel says Joseph “made his home in Nazareth.” A “home” is built on the foundation of
love, commitment and a shared history and is decorated with forgiveness, acceptance, rituals, discipline and mutual support. The Holy Family challenges us today: Don’t live ‘anyplace’,
live at HOME!

Please Join us for the MLK March Please join us for the annual Martin Luther King March at 1:15 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 14th. Every year the faithful from many houses of worship in the Ohio Valley come together to honor Dr. King & continue his important work with a symbolic mile-long walk that starts on MLK Blvd. at the top of Wheeling Hill. The march processes from the windmill atop Wheeling Hill to the Fourth Street United Methodist Church at the corner of Chapine and 11th streets, where there will be a brief worship service and meal. This year there will be several choirs stationed along the way to engage and entertain walkers. If you decide to be part of this year’s walk, please meet at the windmill at the top of MLK Boulevard. There’s no parking there, so it’s best to park at the bottom of the hill on Chapline or 11th Street and walk up the hill or ride one of the free shuttle buses.
