My dear Sisters and
Brothers,
Let us hear again what St.
Paul has to say in the second
reading this Sunday in writing
to the Corinthians:
“WHATEVER YOU EAT OR
DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO,
YOU SHOULD DO ALL FOR
THE GLORY OF GOD.” This
amazing advice is so important
and practical to our faith life.
If we take a glance at the
first reading and the gospel
story, we will realize that
ultimately we dare not even
think of the possibility of giving God any glory.
Our sins are far worse than leprosy! With our
sinfulness, all we deserve is to publicly confess:
“UNCLEAN! UNCLEAN!”
Nevertheless, Jesus will be moved seeing our
unworthiness and humility… and will touch
our wounds and say: “I WILL DO IT. BE
CURED!” That is where and how we can give any
glory to God. It’s so amazing to believe Jesus
truly touched our sinfulness.
But even far beyond that, he
carried our sins, our unclean
leprosy on his shoulder and
washed them all with his
precious sacred Blood. Are
you still not kneeling down
thanking him for such a love?
That’s his Divine Love, Divine
Mercy!!!
Jesus will touch our heart
deeply, so deeply to heal our
wounds and possibly leaving
the scars for us as a powerful
reminder of our “UNCLEAN”
and absolute necessity of his
powerful healing.
Let us again and again recognize our urgent
need of returning from our past sinful life. Let us
come back to God as a family! Let us allow Jesus
to touch every corner of our life again and again!
Fr. Bach

Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God. -- 1 Corinthians 10:31
Fr. Bach
February 14, the feast of St. Valentine
The feast was established by Pope Gelasius I in 496. Some say that Valentine's feast day is
celebrated in February because we do know that February has long been celebrated as a month of romance.
The church wanted to Christianize an
ancient Roman pagan festival called Lupercalia.
The Legend of St. Valentine. The history of Valentine's
Day–and the story of
its patron saint–is shrouded in mystery, as we know it today,
contains vestiges of both Christian and ancient Roman tradition.
A BOOK TO READ There is a great difference between the eager person who wants to read a book and the tired person who wants a book to read. --G. K. Chesterton
Esprit, an organization of
parishioners that meets on
the third Saturday of each
month at 6 pm in the Par-
ish Life Center for a pot-luck supper and fellowship.
