5th Sunday in Ordinary Time February 5, 2017

Fr. Ben’s Message:

Don’t be timid, be a bright light. Be bold,

shine bright, and let everyone know what

disciples stand for. This is the challenging

message of today’s gospel. I use to do a

routine with people: What kind of salt was

Jesus talking about? Today, we have popcorn

salt, garlic salt, rock salt, sea salt, Himalayan

salt, margarita salt (my favorite) or kosher salt

to name a few.

Salt brings flavor to food and acts as a

preservative. We are also aware that in our diet

today, too much salt is dangerous. We as

human beings have our uniqueness, we need to

enhance the flavors of life and not overwhelm.

How do we use our gifts, our talents to enhance

and preserve the gift of faith for others?

Peace & All Good,

Fr. Ben

FYI – News to make you feel better I know many people were shocked by

their Dec/Jan utility bills, so

that you can feel better our

combined gas and electric

bill for last month for the

old school building only was $2,121.45.

Building Committee will meet on

Wednesday at 6:15 to discuss Safety

Grant proposals

Fr. Ben on the Super Bowl

Every year, I am asked, “Which team

are you cheering for?” My researcher

informed me that two of the New England

Patriots played for the University of Oregon

and two of the Atlanta Falcons played for

Oregon State University. If you know my

loyalties then you know who I am rooting for.

Adult Faith Formation This Week Tues 7p.m. Parish Office –

Notas del Padre Ben:

No sean tímidos, sean una luz brillante. Sean

audaces, brillen brillante y que todos sepan qué

discípulos representan. Este es el desafiante

mensaje del Evangelio de hoy. Yo acostumbro

hacer una rutina con la gente: ¿De qué tipo de

sal estaba hablando Jesús? Hoy en día,

tenemos sal de mar, sal paloma, sal de ajo, sal

de roca, sal de mar, sal del Himalaya, sal de

margarita (mi favorita) o sal kosher para

nombrar unas pocas.

La sal aporta sabor a los alimentos y actúa

como un conservativo. También somos

conscientes que en nuestra dieta hoy en día,

demasiada sal es peligrosa. Tenemos como

seres humanos nuestra singularidad, tenemos

que mejorar los sabores de la vida y no

abrumarnos. ¿Cómo utilizamos nuestros dones,

nuestros talentos para mejorar y preservar el

don de la fe de otros?

Paz y todo bien,

Padre Ben
