February 19, 2017 St. Mary’s Church 95 North Main Street Canandaigua, NY 14424 St. Bridget’s Church 15 Church Street Bloomfield, NY 14469 As you may know, we have been undergoing some changes on our Staff over the last few months. We lost our Communications Coordinator who was responsible for the bulletin, the parish event calendar, the parish website and social media. Shortly after that we lost one of our full time maintenance people. Then not long ago Valerie Haynes, the long time parish life coordinator, retired from her position. As a result of this Laurent Pare, who was working part-time maintenance at St. Bridget’s became full-time at both St. Mary’s and St. Bridget’s. We then began an application and interview process to hire a part-time person for St. Bridget’s. I am happy to say that after completion of the interview process last week we hired Ed Rex to fill the part-time maintenance position at St. Bridget’s. I am sure he will be welcomed with the usual warmth and support that the people of St. Bridget’s church always offer. We are very happy to have Ed on board. We have also been interviewing to fill an administrative assistant position to be responsible for the bulletin and parish calendar. After a number of interviews with very qualified candidates we were able to offer the position to Amy Corron, one of our parishioners. She will begin filling this position on Monday. Please welcome her warmly and offer your support to her. I would like to thank the staff, especially Dawn and Nick, for pitching in over the last months to take on extra work to cover what needed to be done with the bulletin, the calendar and the website. As Jesus once said, “your reward will be great in heaven!” We will now begin to tackle putting together a job description and then set up interviews to find someone to handle the responsibilities that Valerie had. However, make no mistake, parish events which have happened in the past will still happen as long as people step forward to put them on. For example, the Mardi Gras celebration in St. Bridget’s hall will take place on Tuesday, February 28, the day before Ash Wednesday. Also the St. Patrick’s Smorgasbord will take place on Sunday, March 12. You will soon be seeing more information in the bulletin about these events. On another note, it was nice to see a positive response to my sharing about our lagging contributions this year. While I really hate to talk about it, the response which will help us cover our shortfall made it worth the pain. It is my hope that this response will continue so that we can cover our parish expenses. May God bless you for all you do to support St. Benedict’s parish with your time, talent and treasure.

Question of the Week: In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us to love our enemies. Is there anyone who would name
you the enemy? Can you change that?
Prayer for the Week
On the Seventh Week of Ordinary Time, Jesus gives us one of the biggest challenges to living the Christian life: Love Your Enemies. “I say to you, offer no resistance to one who is evil. When someone strikes you on your right cheek, turn the other one as well.”
As we go through our week, in the smallest moments of the day, we can beg God for strength and courage in our lives. As we awaken in the morning, sort laundry or do the dishes, we can change our attitudes toward these chores and see them as sacred moments of invitation from the God who loves us with such fire and compassion.
Dear Lord, you know how I need healing. As you healed so many others, please touch my heart and help me to open my life, my heart and my soul to the love and healing you offer me. I know that if only I could trust in you more, it would change my life.
“I do believe! Help my unbelief!” Let me turn all of apprehensions over to you. I beg you to give me the wisdom and courage I need to trust more and to fear less. Teach me to feel your presence deeply in my life so I can stop clinging to my lack of courage and my fear. Let me release anything that holds me back from your love and the embrace of the freedom you offer me.
We can find the healing we so deeply want simply by asking God for it and then living as if we have received it. It is not about the amount of time we spend, but about an awareness of God's presence in our lives. Believing and trusting in that love and grace, we can find the humility to say, “I'm sorry” to someone we have hurt. We can take a moment to write a note or an e-mail telling a suffering friend we are praying for them.
And all day long, as we run our errands or sit at our desks, we can take a moment to say “Thank you” to the God on whom we have such an utter dependence and who loves us with such abandon.

The Readings this Week
Wednesday is the Feast of the Chair of Saint Peter, apostle, honoring Peter and all those who have served as Pope and Bishop of Rome. Thursday is the Memorial of Saint Polycarp, bishop and martyr.
The Seventh Week of Ordinary Time offers beautiful readings from Sirach, part of the “Wisdom” literature in the Old Testament.
The Gospel of Mark brings us the narrative of Jesus healing a boy possessed, an evil spirit the Apostles could not drive out. “This kind can only come out through prayer.” When the disciples argued over which of them was the greatest. Jesus tells them “If anyone wishes to be first, he shall be the last of all and the servant of all.” He tells the apostles not to worry about those healing in the name of Jesus, “for whoever is not against us is for us.” He gives them a vivid description of the challenges of following him. “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off.” When the Pharisees try to trap Jesus with a question about divorce, he replies, “What God has joined together, no human being must separate.” He encourages us to be childlike before God in trust and love. “Whoever does not accept the Kingdom of God like a child will not enter it.”
In the Eighth Sunday of Ordinary Time, Jesus gives us timeless and loving advice. Don't worry, don't fret. Our cares distract us from God unless we can place our worries directly in God's hands. “Your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given you besides. Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.”
