“In repeating what Christ did at the Last Supper in o<strong>be</strong>dience to his comm<strong>and</strong>: "Do this in<br />
memory of me!", we also accept Mary's invitation to o<strong>be</strong>y him without hesitation: "Do<br />
whatever he tells you." (Jn 2:5) With the same maternal concern which she showed at the<br />
wedding feast of Cana, Mary seems to say to us: "Do not waver; trust in the words of my<br />
Son. If he was able to change water into wine, he can also turn bread <strong>and</strong> wine into his<br />
body <strong>and</strong> blood, <strong>and</strong> through this mystery <strong>be</strong>stow on <strong>be</strong>lievers the living memorial of his<br />
Passover, thus <strong>be</strong>coming the 'bread of life'.” Ecclesia de Eucharistia, Blessed John Paul<br />

Dear Parish Family,<br />
By the time this week ends it <strong>will</strong> <strong>be</strong><br />
February! 2013 is off to a quick start. The<br />
week <strong>will</strong> <strong>be</strong>gin with the Feast of <strong>St</strong>. Thomas<br />
Aquinas, patron of Catholic Schools <strong>and</strong> the<br />
author of the Summa Theologiae. On Thurs-<br />
xxxxx<br />
day we celebrate the Feast of <strong>St</strong>. John Bosco.<br />
On Saturday we <strong>will</strong> celebrate the Feast<br />
of the Presentation of the Lord. –this marks 40<br />
days since we celebrated Christmas. At one<br />
time this was the conclusion of the Christmas<br />
Season. It celebrates the presentation of the<br />
Lord in the temple forty days after his birth <strong>and</strong><br />
the Feast of the Purification of Mary. It’s a day<br />
when c<strong>and</strong>les are blessed for home use reminding<br />
us that the Christ came into the world as<br />
the ‘Light of the World’. All sorts of traditions<br />
have grown around this feast including our<br />
own Groundhog <strong>Day</strong> which comes at the midpoint<br />
of winter.<br />
“Pennsylvania's earliest settlers were<br />
Germans <strong>and</strong> they found groundhogs in profusion<br />
in many parts of the state. They determined<br />
that the groundhog, resembling the European<br />
hedgehog, was a most intelligent <strong>and</strong><br />
sensible animal <strong>and</strong> therefore decided that if<br />
the sun did appear on February 2nd, so wise an<br />
animal as the groundhog would see its shadow<br />
<strong>and</strong> hurry back into its underground home for<br />
another six weeks of winter.” (groundhogday.org) ><br />
‘If <strong>C<strong>and</strong>lemas</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>be</strong> <strong>fair</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>bright</strong><br />
<strong>Winter</strong> <strong>will</strong> have another fight.<br />
If <strong>C<strong>and</strong>lemas</strong> <strong>Day</strong> brings cloud <strong>and</strong> rain,<br />
<strong>Winter</strong> won't come again.<br />
xxxx<br />
xxxx<br />
If <strong>C<strong>and</strong>lemas</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>be</strong> dry <strong>and</strong> <strong>fair</strong>,<br />
The half o the winter's to come <strong>and</strong> mair;<br />
If <strong>C<strong>and</strong>lemas</strong> <strong>Day</strong> <strong>be</strong> wet <strong>and</strong> foul,<br />
The half o the winter's gane at Yule.’ (anonymous)<br />
So we <strong>will</strong> need to wait until Saturday,<br />
February 2nd to see if Punxsutawney PHIL<br />
sees his shadow or not....but one way or the<br />
other we can <strong>be</strong> sure of this: the season which<br />
follows winter is SPRING <strong>and</strong> it <strong>will</strong> once<br />
again, with sun or snow, arrive on the Twentieth<br />
of March! Enjoy the seasons—they too are<br />
a gift of the Creator! Have a great week!<br />
Fr. Krizner, The Lily, <strong>and</strong> (who is the heck is Phil?) Gracie
L<br />
ily always knew that this would happen.<br />
It was inevitable <strong>and</strong> just a matter of time.<br />
So without hesitation she asked, “Gracie,<br />
what are you doing?” With snow <strong>and</strong> mud covering<br />
her face Grace took a break from her task to answer,<br />
“I’m digging.” Lily came closer, “Digging for<br />
what?” Again Gracie stopped her work -now somewhat<br />
put off by Lily’s interfering questions. She<br />
used her paw to remove snow from her nose <strong>and</strong> replied,<br />
“I am digging a hole <strong>be</strong>neath this tree.” Lily<br />
knew she should go no further but just one more<br />
question <strong>and</strong> she would allow her sister to go on with<br />
her task. And so with one word Lily asked, “Why?”<br />
Gracie did not answer immediately as she<br />
tugged <strong>and</strong> pulled on a root. Taking a break she said,<br />
“I am digging a hole so that I can burrow in it <strong>and</strong><br />
then come back out again.” With a tilt of her head<br />
Remem<strong>be</strong>r this is a SACRAMENTAL –like Ashes on ASH<br />
WEDNESDAY or the use of Holy Water.<br />
It is not a SACRAMENT but something to raise our minds<br />
Lily asked, “Gracie,” is there a point to this?” Gracie<br />
<strong>and</strong> hearts to the Lord <strong>and</strong> increase our devotion to Him.<br />
gave out a growl <strong>and</strong> pulled back on the root. Satisfied<br />
that it had <strong>be</strong>en removed she turned to Lily <strong>and</strong><br />
said, “Yes, I want to burrow into the hole <strong>and</strong> then<br />
come out <strong>and</strong> see if I <strong>will</strong> see my shadow.”<br />
“Prayer is the raising of the mind to<br />
xxxx<br />
God.<br />
Lily nodded, “I thought so. And I have to say<br />
We must always remem<strong>be</strong>r this.<br />
that I am disappointed with myself that I even<br />
The actual words matter less.”<br />
xxxx<br />
― Pope John XXIII<br />
asked.” Gracie simply smiled since she had no idea<br />
what Lily meant. Lily slowly walked away shaking<br />
her head in wonderment adding, “Let me know how<br />
Lent <strong>be</strong>gins on February 13th.<br />
it turns out.” Gracie responded quickly, “Oh, I can’t<br />
What are your plans?<br />
do that today.” Lily stopped, “<strong>and</strong> why not?” Gracie<br />
smirked, “Because it’s not February 2nd!!”<br />
But here ended the conversation by Lily’s<br />
own design. She laid down on the porch <strong>and</strong> watched<br />
wondering aloud, “And when<br />
Father sees the hole <strong>be</strong>neath the<br />
tree I wonder if it <strong>will</strong> <strong>be</strong> 6<br />
more weeks of treats or none<br />
until<br />
xxx<br />
Spring!”<br />
ollowing <strong>C<strong>and</strong>lemas</strong> day we<br />
F come to the feast of <strong>St</strong>. Blasé.<br />
Legend says that Blasé, Bishop <strong>and</strong><br />
martyr, was also a physician. While<br />
in prison he saved the life of a boy<br />
who was choking on a fish bone.<br />
Blasé <strong>be</strong>came one of the most popular<br />
saints of the Middle Ages invoked<br />
for healings of every sort. Today this<br />
tradition continues as a sacramental.<br />
The Blessing of Throats <strong>will</strong> <strong>be</strong> used<br />
as the final blessing of Mass this coming weekend, Saturday<br />
<strong>and</strong> Sunday, February 2nd & February 3rd.<br />
‘Through the intercession of <strong>St</strong>. Blasé, bishop <strong>and</strong> martyr,<br />
may God deliver you from every disease of the throat <strong>and</strong><br />
from every other illness.’<br />
What can or <strong>will</strong> you do to make Lent a personal<br />
journey of change, prayer, <strong>and</strong> reflection?<br />
This short paragraph from Catholic Customs <strong>and</strong> Traditions<br />
by Greg Dues puts Lent into proper perspective.<br />
“The whole church goes on retreat for six<br />
weeks about a month <strong>and</strong> a half after the Christmas<br />
Season. This annual spiritual renewal prepares for<br />
the celebration of Christianity’s most fundamental<br />
<strong>be</strong>lief: Jesus was raised from the dead <strong>and</strong> is Christ,<br />
the Lord! Lent, therefore, has no meaning in itself.<br />
It prepares for Easter <strong>and</strong> new life.” (Greg Dues)<br />

part of the smiles!<br />
7th graders now welcome<br />
I have always <strong>be</strong>lieved that the more you ‘keep’ Lent<br />
the more splendid is your personal celebration of Easter.<br />
This is not a January 1st ‘<strong>Day</strong> for Resolutions’—<br />
nor is Lent a time to decide that you are going to lose a<br />
few pounds or <strong>be</strong>gin an exercise regime for the sake of<br />
‘your own self’. It is a time to consider your relationship<br />
with the Lord Jesus Christ <strong>and</strong> how it can <strong>be</strong><br />
strengthened, renewed, <strong>and</strong> more fully lived out. This<br />
may call for some ‘sacrifices’ <strong>and</strong> some hard work—<br />
but it is done so for the Honor & Glory of God!<br />
Think about it <strong>be</strong>fore Ash Wednesday rolls around!

Family Perspectives<br />
Jesus announces in Luke’s gospel that he comes to<br />
proclaim li<strong>be</strong>rty to captives <strong>and</strong> announce a year of favor<br />
for the Lord. Far too many families are held captive <strong>and</strong><br />
victimized by domestic violence. One third of all women<br />
have experienced abuse. Families need not live in fear!<br />
There is help for victims <strong>and</strong> abusers. Break the silence<br />
<strong>and</strong> call for help.<br />

<strong>St</strong>. Timothy has <strong>be</strong>en regarded by some as the<br />
“angel of the church of Ephesus”, Revelation 2:1-17.<br />
According to the ancient Roman martyrology he died<br />
Bishop of Ephesus. During the Neronian persecution<br />
<strong>St</strong>. John arrived at Ephesus, where he lived with <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Timothy until he was exiled to Patmos under Domitian.<br />
Timothy, who was unmarried,<br />
continued as Bishop of<br />
Ephesus until, when he was over<br />
eighty years of age, he was mortally<br />
<strong>be</strong>aten by the pagans.<br />
According to early<br />
tradition Titus continued after <strong>St</strong>.<br />
Paul’s death as Archbishop of Crete, <strong>and</strong> died there<br />
when he was over ninety.<br />
