SPN Parish Council Holy Moment Thought

In the Gospel, John the Baptist invites us to repent. It is a scary word in today’s world, but it really just means to turn back to God. To realign your wants and dreams with God’s wants and dreams. Why? So you can yield better fruit. The Saints are who they are because they knew how to collaborate with God to producte and share amazing fruit. What fruits do you have and not use or share? Perhaps you, too, could be the one to make a difference! Please consider praying the following prayer and allow the Holy Spirit to guide you… Loving Father, open my heart to the areas of my life that need to change so that I can carry out the mission you have imagined for my life. Inspire me to live the Catholic faith in ways that are dynamic and engaging. Show me how best to get involved in the life of my parish. Make our community hungry for best practices and continuous learning, and help us to realize that we each have a role to play in making our parish a perfect place for imperfect people trying to walk with you. Amen.

Presentation: What Can We Do? The Role of the Laity in a Time of Crisis As the Church undergoes this period of profound crisis, many of us feel helpless as we watch a drama unfold that we can do nothing about. But the truth is that we are not powerless. The history of the Church tells us that lay people have a role to play in the Church’s times of turmoil. Join us for an evening of reflection on the mission of the laity in times of ecclesial crisis and learn what you can do to cooperate with Christ’s action to purify and heal His Church.

becoming disconnected from the truth of who God says we are: beloved and chosen, of infinite value and undeniable dignity.

Come spend the day with us as we: remember our feminine genius, understand common spiritual obstacles we encounter as women and how to overcome them, talk about our Blessed Mother’s role in protecting and strengthening us, gain tools to stand and stay in the Father’s blessing for ourselves and our families.

FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY,

AND JOSEPH

A change in plans

Dreamers can’t explain themselves. People ask:

“How could you? Why did you?” And dreamers

shrug and smile. They make the sacrifice, they take

the risk, they think differently, they become

someone unimaginable. Ask any artist or composer,

star athlete or entrepreneur, priest or monk or

missionary: How did you become what you are?

They shrug and smile, because it’s hard to tell

someone who hasn’t heard the voice themselves: I

talk to angels, I listen to the universe, I close my

eyes so I can see more clearly. Sit and pay attention

to the holy silence.

TODAY'S READINGS: Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14;

Colossians 3:12-21 or 3:12-17; Matthew 2:13-15,

19-23 (17). “Rise, take the child and his mother,

flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you.”

Monday, Dec 30, 2019

SIXTH DAY WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF THE

NATIVITY OF THE LORD

Generation to generation

The gospel anticipates the New Year with a child’s

potential. After Simeon’s harsh prediction of a

sword piercing Mary’s soul, Anna comforts. She

directs the conversation back to thanking God. She

has had time to prepare for her moment, so when it

comes, she rises to the occasion. Pope Francis

linked Anna and Simeon to grandparents. In a

society that too often dismisses the elderly,

grandparents still offer time and presence, just

what children need most. Pray for and honor the

elders in your own family and community. They

carry a consoling message!

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 John 2:12-17; Luke 2:36-

40 (203). “The child grew and became strong,

filled with wisdom.”

Tuesday, Dec 31, 2019

MEMORIAL OF SYLVESTER I, POPE; SEVENTH DAY

WITHIN THE OCTAVE OF THE NATIVITY OF THE

LORD

Guard the pearl of great price

We know little of Sylvester I other than that his

papacy lasted from 314 until his death in 335. A

legend arose around the eighth century, however,

based on a forged document known as the

Donation of Constantine, that the emperor who

famously converted to Christianity also transferred

authority over Rome and the entire Western Roman

Empire to Sylvester and future popes. While the

document was later proven to be a fake, the papacy

nonetheless got ensnared in power politics, luxury,

and the corruption that comes with trying to rule

an empire. As Dante put it in his Divine Comedy,

“Ah Constantine, how much evil was born / not

from your conversion, but from that donation /

that the first wealthy pope received from you!”

Don’t practice your faith for worldly gain—God

grants us riches money can’t buy.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 John 2:18-21; John 1:1-

18 (204). “He was in the world . . . but the world

did not know him.”

Wednesday, Jan 01, 2020

OCTAVE DAY OF THE NATIVITY OF THE LORD;

SOLEMNITY OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, THE

MOTHER OF GOD

Incarnation in all

The Octave of Christmas reminds us that all people

everywhere share in the mystery of Incarnation, the

communion of divinity and humanity, revealed in

Jesus Christ and realized in all who are likewise

born of women. We celebrate this mystery

whenever we gather to eat and drink the sacred

meal. Our task is to recognize the divine presence

in the least of those with whom we share this

mystical communion, from the baby born in

Bethlehem to the migrant standing at our wall.

Resolve this New Year to lend a helping hand.

TODAY'S READINGS: Numbers 6:22-27;

Galatians 4:4-7; Luke 2:16-21 (18). “So they went

in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the

infant lying in the manger.”

Thursday, Jan 02, 2020

MEMORIAL OF BASIL THE GREAT AND GREGORY

NAZIANZEN, BISHOPS, DOCTORS OF THE

CHURCH

Let’s be friends

“To the Ancients, friendship seemed the happiest

and most fully human of all loves; the crown of life

and the school of virtue. The modern world, in

comparison, ignores it.” When C.S. Lewis referred to

the “Ancients” he might have had today’s saints,

Basil and Gregory Nazianzen, in mind. Instrumental

in the formation of the Nicene Creed that the

church recites each Sunday, these great bishops

and doctors of the church can also be remembered

simply for being two great and lasting friends. Let

them remind us that deep and warm friendships

enrich life in ways that accomplishments and

honorifics, and even creeds, sublime as they may

be, cannot replace.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 John 2:22-28; John 1:19-

28 (205). “All who heard it were amazed by

what had been told them by the shepherds.”

Friday, Jan 03, 2020

MEMORIAL OF THE MOST HOLY NAME OF JESUS

Called by name

The memorial of the Most Holy Name of Jesus

reminds us of the power of names. We honor not

just the person Jesus, but the name of Jesus. There

is a certain intimacy in knowing a person’s name.

Think of our litanies, our prayers for people who

are sick or who have died. Think of the genealogy

we heard on Christmas Eve. When we name people,

we acknowledge and see them. Think of the people

you see regularly in your school, workplace, gym,

grocery store, faith community.

Remember to call them by name.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 John 2:29—3:6; John

1:29-34 (206). “John the Baptist saw Jesus

coming toward him and said, ‘Behold, the Lamb

of God.’ ”

Saturday, Jan 04, 2020

MEMORIAL OF ELIZABETH ANN SETON,

RELIGIOUS

Be a trailblazer

Elizabeth Ann Seton (1774-1821) was born into a

wealthy Episcopalian family. At 19, she married

William Magee Seton with whom she had five

children. For a brief time, it was a wonderful life,

but soon William’s business and health failed.

Elizabeth was a poor widow and single mother by

the age of 30. Inspired by Catholic friends who

helped care for her dying husband, Elizabeth

became Catholic in 1805. In the following years this

first American-born saint established many firsts:

the first religious community of women and the

first Catholic school, with several more to follow.

Elizabeth Ann Seton’s deep faithfulness reminds us

that nothing is impossible with God.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 John 3:7-10; John 1:35-

42 (207). “They said to him, ‘Rabbi (which

means Teacher), where do you stay?’ ‘Come and

see,’ he answered.”
