Good Morning<br />

Good afternoon<br />

“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 />

Tuesday Evenings<br />

at 7 p.m.<br />

Come <strong>and</strong> <strong>be</strong> a<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 />
