Thank you, Parish Family!
Jesus’ call to “Follow me” is a call to all Christians! The call is in the here and now, in our present circumstances, not
when we think we are “ready” or have everything in order. Good stewardship of our God-given gifts means
that things aren’t always going to go according to our schedule and that God has a much better plan in store for each of us.
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle.
I just wish that He didn't trust me so much." - Mother Teresa

STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
In today’s Gospel Reading from St. Mark, it is
reported that Jesus went to the synagogue and
began to teach, but His teaching was somewhat
different from that normally heard there “for he
taught with authority and not as the scribes.” Of-
ten those who taught in Jesus’ time (the scribes)
simply quoted others, a variety of Rabbis.
However, Jesus taught with authority be-
cause He had authority. Jesus’ divine message was not quoting
other humans, but quoting God. Jesus was One with God so He
knew what He was talking about. Jesus taught with authority be-
cause He believed what He was teaching. He was familiar with the
information which allowed Him to teach boldly. People listening
could perceive that this was someone Who knew.
Up until this time we have seen the Lord as the Son of Man
Who submitted to His Father. He submitted to God in His Bap-
tism, and to the Holy Spirit in the wilderness. To have authority
also requires submission. We, too, are called to submit to God, but
for us that is sometimes challenging because it requires humility,
something that is not easy for many of us.
Later in the Gospel of John there is another account of the
Lord teaching at the Temple. He is challenged, and His response is
quite simply, “My teaching is not from myself; it comes from the
one who sent me.” We are not divine, but we, too, are sent.

At St. Francis Xavier and across the United States, Catholic Schools Week is a celebration of Catholic edu-cation. The National Catho-lic Education Association selects a theme and each school plans activities around this theme, “Learn. Serve. Lead. Succeed.”
This annual observance starts the last Sun-day in January and runs all week, which in
2018 is January 28 to February 3. At St. Francis Xavier, Catholic Schools Week is a
celebration of all the elements of our school that make it such a great place - our parish-es, our students, our nation, vocations, our
faculty, staff and volunteers, and our families. We will be celebrat-
ing at 10:30 Mass at St. William next Sunday. Students will be in
full Mass uniforms.
Twenty years ago, Saint Pope John Paul II said to an audience of Catholic educa-tors : “Yours is a great gift to the Church, a great gift to your nation.” With this in mind, the National Catho-lic Education Association is pleased to present an online giving campaign
For 24 hours starting January 30, 9:00am EST to January 31, 9:00am EST, each Catholic school and arch/diocese has their own customized giving page . Visit the school website for more info: www.sfxcs.org.
