IMMACULATE CONCEPTION PARISH (www.icclarion.org) CLARION, PA
A MESSAGE FROM FATHER MONTY — Blessing of the Home on Epiphany - Here is a wonderful Catholic tradition for you to use at home today. Using an ordinary piece of chalk, mark your main doorway like this:
20 + C + M + B + 19. The numerals refer to the New Year of the Lord, the four crosses represent the four seasons and the initials C, M, B stand for the traditional names of the three kings, Caspar, Melchior and Balthazar or the Latin phrase “Christus Mansionem Bendeicat” (May Christ Bless This Dwelling Place). Why not bless the doorways and rooms of your home—let each of the kids bless his or her bedroom—with holy water. (I bet you still have that small plastic “Holy Water” bottle you got last Easter!) Then, gather around your kitchen table and offer this prayer:
Bless our home, Lord, with the peace and joy of your presence. Heal all of our family who are in need of your touch. Teach us how to offer hospitality to every guest, seeing your face in every stranger and welcoming all who enter here as you welcome us into your Kingdom in this life and the next. Amen.
“Diocesan Assessments” – Today I talked about diocesan assessments. These fees, charged to every parish by the Office of Financial Services, include the Diocesan Fund (or Cathedraticum), Catholic Services Appeal (CSA), Priest Retirement, Self-Insurance, and Catholic School support. The Finance Office works to assure that the temporal goods of the Church are “acquired and administered prudently, professionally and in accordance with church law”. To learn more about assessments go to www.eriercd.org and scroll down and click on “MyDioErie” (blue section at the bottom of page — third column). Then, scroll down to “4. Parish Staff” and click “Financial Services”. On the Financial services home page, click on the “Parish Financial Practices Policy Manual”. In the right column, click on “Assessments”. My New Year’s “Resolution” – This quote from John Carmody is tacked on a bulletin board in my second floor study: “Dealing with the sick or slow is nothing special. Dealing with the arrogant, the overbearing, the self-satisfied is a significant witness, still beyond me most days.” During my retreat last September, I meditated on this passage from II Corinthians: “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness” (12:9). This prayer has provided both challenge and consolation: “Jesus, meek and humble of heart, clothe me with compassion, humility and kindness. Make me want to be patient with everyone.” I’m not sure where this is going, but I trust the Holy Spirit will guide me where I need to be in the New Year 2019.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK FOR FAITH SHARING — “Overcoming jealousy then Herod sent the [magi] to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage." (Matthew 2:8)
Adults: When have you been jealous or fearful of another person? When are such feelings harmful? Kids: When have you been jealous because something good happened to another person instead of you? What is the problem with feeling that way?

If we are really unfamiliar with the space, anxiety, uncertainty, disorientation, and even fear can easily arise. Once we find the light, all is illuminated and we are at peace. Our light has come into the world! The glory of God has been revealed! Today's feast of the Epiphany teaches us to look to our Savior, Jesus Christ, for the way to truly be the human beings we were created to be. He shows us how to prioritize our lives, order our relationships, care for creation, and live as daughters and sons of God. God's love and creative power is universal, transcending all races and nations. Jesus brings the light of peace to a broken world that still struggles to understand itself and to you and I who also struggle to understand who we are. May we find ourselves overjoyed that we have found our truth and allow Jesus to bring light to the darkness of our lives!
