Scripture
You are my servant, Israel, through whom I show my glory.
(Isaiah 49:3)
And he put a new song into my mouth, (Psalm 40:4)
you who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be holy,
(1 Corinthians 1:2)
the reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be
made known to Isra
(John 1:31)
Reflection
Is accepting Christ in prayer and the sacraments a part of being
holy?
How do parish activities help you live out your calling to be
holy?
Being a lector, greeter, Eucharistic minister
Justice activities, St Vincent DePaul Mens or womens
prayer/social groups; bible study groups
Youth groups or seniors activity
Do you balance your life between prayer and action to live your
calling to be holy?
How does your family and parish community enable you to be
holy?
Those in the church respond to the call to holiness by hearing
the word of God preached, sharing the sacramental life of the
Church, and living out those values and insights that we learn from
JesuChrist Vatican II stated it succinctly in its preface to the
decree on the Bishops Pastoral Office the Church: Christ the Lord,
Son of the Living God, came that He might save people from their
siand that all people may be made holy. 1

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Q: Can a priest say Mass alone?A: The General Instruction of the
Roman Missal in #211 states, "Mass should not be celebrated witout
a server or the participation of at least one of the faithful
except for some legitimate and reasoable cause." So ordinarily at
least one person should be present when a priest celebrates Mass.
Thlaw itself, however, recognized there can be a just and
reasonable cause for a priest to celebrate alonAnd whether or not
there is someone else present, the Mass would be valid.
Mere convenience or preference would not be sufficient reason to
celebrate alone. Retrieved from

Christian PrinciplesPag
Preventing the Fiery Darts from Wounding Christian SoulsThe
battle fought by Roman soldiers required a shield, which prevented
the enemy
arrows and swords from reaching their bodies. The shield
literally deflected t
weapons and saved soldiers from being wounded or killed in war.
The shield
Faith used in the spiritual battle is also a defensive weapon
that protects.
This is made clear in Ephesians 6:16: "Above all, taking the
shield of faith with which you will be able to
quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. "
This Scripture exposes the fact that the devil and his demons
are throwing fiery darts at Christians every
day. Without the shield held in front of each dart, one or more
will penetrate the heart and soul of believers,
leaving wounds and sometimes causing spiritual death. The enemy
will stop at nothing to do what he does
best, which is to damage lives. And every demon appears to have
great aim, knowing exactly what to shoot
a certain Christian's way, and when. This is proven in John
10:10 which says, "The thief does not come
except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy." Thankfully, the
next verse says that Jesus came to bring abun-
dant life!
The shield is not a physical piece of armor, rather a spiritual
one held together by the measure of a Chris-
tian's faith. Without faith, there is no shield at all. A little
faith and there is some level of protection. Those
who have the gift of faith, or have gained faith through testing
and practical application, will begin to
quickly and easily ward off the darts sent their way.
When fiery darts hit, they hurt and they burn. When doubt has
been allowed to become th
meditation of the mind even the strongest believer will weaken.
In general, faith is trustin
that God is who He says He is, and that He will protect a
Christian in the spiritual battl
Faith means that no matter what happens, a Christian truly
believes that God is there an
will work things out.
Faith requires that there be some kind of testing. If a
Christian was never tested, then th
wouldn't even need to have faith. Therefore, faith is more
valuable in hard times than goo
because it proves a Christian's allegiance and reliance on God.
When Christians take God
His Word, they are holding up the shield of faith and preventing
the fiery darts from pen
trating. And oftentimes, strong faith people can model this
principle and even use the
shield to protect others.
