Reflection by Brian Geeding

Signs and Wonders:

4pm Christmas Eve Mass For the twelve people in Cincinnati

who didn’t attend Christmas Eve

mass at 4:00pm, let me paint a quick

picture of the scene. Every pew was

occupied by a person or a coat by

about 3:30pm. Coats on Christmas Eve are either loved or hated.

They are loved by the family members who make it to mass at

3:55 and still have a seat. They are hated by the many people

whose hopes are dashed when they think a pew is open, only to

see that the pew is being reserved by Mr. and Mrs. Coats. I have

been on either end of this love, hate relationship. By the time

mass starts, people are rubbing shoulders in the pews or

standing against the side walls. It is cozy. Nothing has changed

with this scene since I began going to this mass 25 years ago.

This mass is the biggest attended service of the year meaning it

is a great opportunity to spark Christ in the hearts of many. With

a critical eye on this fact, I became disappointed as the sound

system was not providing the sound needed to reach the

congregation. From my position in one of the last pews, the

opening prayers at the nativity scene, as well as the readings

were very hard to hear.

The scene had a dramatic midpoint twist. God made His

presence known in a big way right as the gifts were about to be

brought to the altar. All the power went o0 in Church. There was

a wind storm happening outside. It couldn’t have been planned

any better. I know for myself, I was having a hard time feeling

engaged in the mass before this. I felt distracted. The power

going o0 was a powerful reminder from heaven that God was

with us. It remained o0 for about 1ve minutes. There was an

excitement and spirit in the church during that time. There was

beauty in the simplicity of it all. We were there to celebrate His

coming to earth and we were again shown that He has not left

us alone. There are signs like this every day.

Are we asking God for the eyes to see these signs? Let us help

each other read the signs of the times, the signs of Gods

mysterious presence among us. It is the anticipation of these

signs that should get us out of bed each morning

with excitement.

2015 Year of Consecrated Life Pope Francis has proclaimed 2015 a Year of Consecrated Life

for renewal, remembrance, and faith. Its purpose, as stated

by the Vatican, is to “make a grateful remembrance of the

recent past” while embracing “the future with hope.” We are

grateful for our brothers and sisters in Christ, living

consecrated lives, who make great contributions to our

Church and society through many ministries.

“True joy does not come from things or from possessing, no!

It is born from the encounter, from the relationship with

others, it is born from feeling accepted, understood and

loved, and from accepting, from understanding and from

loving; and this is not because of a passing fancy but because

the other is a person. Joy is born from the gratuitousness of

an encounter! It is hearing someone say, but not necessarily

with words: “You are important to me.” This is

beautiful….And it is these very words that God makes us

understand. In calling you God says to you: “You are

important to me, I love you, I am counting on you.”

Pope Francis

Address at Meeting with Seminarians and Novices

From the desk of Fr. Ken One of the most favorite times in being a Priest is

administering the Sacrament of Baptism. But like everything

else it doesn’t begin and end right there. When you are

baptized you receive, let’s call it a ticket to salvation. But

once we receive this ticket, the Lord expects us to use it. We

use it by answering the Lord’s call – we answer the Lord’s call

by living our lives in a Catholic Christian way. Being kind,

merciful, not biased or judgmental, doing our best to attend

Sunday Mass every week, having the courage to have our

sins forgiven. These are just some of the ways we answer the

call. Is our ticket being used or unused.

Sunday Night Mass Beginning January 11 at 7:00 pm, St. Mary’s will be o0ering a

monthly Sunday evening Mass. The Mass will take place on the second Sunday of each month. Father William

Verbryke will be the celebrant, and Mark Ulliman will provide

the music. At each Mass, a speaker from a local charitable

organization will give a brief talk on the mission of that

organization and volunteer/service opportunities the

organization o0ers. We hope a little variety will spice up

our worship.

Poverty Awareness Month As we observe Poverty Awareness Month, it is 1tting to

reLect on an excerpt from Pope Francis' inaugural homily.

"Amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope

and to be men and women who bring hope to others. To

protect creation, to protect every man and every woman, to

look upon them with tenderness and love, is to open a

horizon of hope ... To protect each person, especially the

poorest ... this is a service that the Bishop of Rome is called to

carry out, yet one to which all of us are called, so that the star

of hope will shine brightly. Let us protect with love all that

God has given us."

Re.ection: How can I act as a light to the world in working to

combat poverty?

You may take a poinsettia after

Constitution of the

Sacred Liturgy “The Church . . . has admitted styles

from every period, according to the

proper genius and circumstances of

peoples” (Constitution on the Sacred

Liturgy, 123)

No one artistic style can be described as “Catholic.”

Rather, just as the Church has drawn people of all races

and languages to Christ, the Church has taken to herself

many forms of music, art, and architecture. Had this not

been the case, the glory of the Gothic cathedrals would

never have leapt up toward the heavens and the

exuberance of the Baroque would never have had a

chance to express the joy and glory of Christ’s

Resurrection. Today, we are more aware than ever that

we are a global Church: Our experience of the faith is

enriched by Russian icons, Ethiopian illuminations,

vestments from Vietnam, and a myriad of contemporary

architectural styles. Who we are as Catholics is not

de1ned by any one “look” or language. To be Catholic is

to be open to what is beautiful from every time and

place—including ours. The 50th Anniversary of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy: A Parish Celebration © 2013 Archdiocese of Chicago: Liturgy Training Publications. Orders: 1-800-933-1800.

-Follow the Way of Love

A Year with Pope Francis Christian hope is not simply a desire or wish, it is not opti-

mism. No! For a Christian, hope is expectation, a fervent,

passionate expectation of the ultimate and de1nitive ful-

1llment of a mystery: the mystery of the love of God in

which we were reborn and are already living. In this

world, the Christian life is a time of preparation for the

ultimate meeting with the Lord. Christians must ask

themselves with great sincerity: Are we really bright and

credible witnesses of this expectation, this hope? Are our

communities marked by the presence of the Lord and

eager expectation of his coming? Or do they seem tired,

numb, weighed down by e0ort and resignation?

Worship 101 "As we celebrate the Baptism of the

Lord, can you tell me how my Baptism

applies to my daily life?"

Baptism leads us to imitate Christ’s example.

The baptized are called to imitate Jesus’

example and strive in thought, word, and action

to live his love. This means working to heal the

wounds of sin, living the Beatitudes, practicing

the twofold commandment of love of God and

neighbor, and imitating the lives of the saints

(CCC, nos. 1694-97).

Having been anointed by the Spirit, “Christians

can repeat in an individual way the words of

Jesus: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because

he has anointed me to preach good news to the

poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to

captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to

set at liberty those who are oppressed, to

proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord’ . . .

(Lk 4:18-19)” (Christi1deles Laici, no. 13).

The Baptism of the Lord January 11, 2015

Acting on the Spirit’s CallBy Janel Esker

You never get a second chance to make

a first impression.

Though today’s feast day celebrates

Jesus’ baptism, in today’s Gospel

the Holy Spirit is the one

making the first impression. As Jesus

emerges from his baptism, the Holy

Spirit descends on him in the form of a

dove—a gentle bird normally associated

with peace. That’s certainly one first

impression of the Holy Spirit.

However, as we know from Jesus’

ministry, the Holy Spirit’s work in him

was hardly quiet and peaceful. Jesus spent

his life turning the status quo upside

down—challenging those in power and

uplifting those who were oppressed.

Jesus called for repentance from sin,

healed the outcast, and overturned the

moneychangers’ tables in the Temple.

As we learn in the reading from Acts,

after his baptism Jesus was filled with “the

holy Spirit and power.” Talk about a second

chance to make a first impression—this

Holy Spirit turned out to be no meek dove,

but a mover and a shaker!

Though Jesus’ baptism was different

from ours, we also receive the power of

the Holy Spirit in our baptism and in the

sacrament of confirmation. And the Holy

Spirit seeks to move and shake in our

lives, just as it did in Jesus’ life.

But we’re not marionettes controlled

by the Spirit. We must respond to the

Spirit’s urging. In the moments when

a colleague tells a racist joke, when

we see a stranger treated unjustly,

or when a lonely neighbor aches for

companionship—in those moments,

the Holy Spirit calls us to speak out in

justice and to reach out in love. The

Spirit continually seeks to make new first

impressions in the world through our

actions—if we are willing to respond. †

Morality Matters: Only Fools Rush InBy Fr. Stephen Rehrauer, CSsR

A common cause of wrong

moral choices is haste. True

deliberation requires taking

the time and energy to weigh all the

facts about both efficacy and moral

uprightness. In the rush to solve our

problems, we usually want the fastest,

easiest, and most efficient solution

possible. It is amazing how easily we can

betray our principles and put our moral

beliefs on hold in these moments.

Stem cell research is a perfect example.

Catholic teaching holds that human life

and personhood begin at the moment

of conception. Human embryos are

human persons. Any production of stem

cells that involves destroying human

embryos is morally repugnant; in

essence, it is an act of murder. Yet there

was such an outcry, even among some

Catholics, when years ago the federal

government restricted public funding of

research involving the production of new

embryonic stem cell lines.

The Catholic Church was criticized as

being uncaring—more concerned about

ideas than about living, suffering human

beings. Appeals were made to stories of

those suffering terribly who might be

helped if the research would only be

allowed to continue. The criticism was

lodged that a needless delay occurred

that was cruel for people whose time

was running out. We were falling behind

scientifically in this new and promising

medical technology.

Today, many scientists working in

public universities admit that because of

that governmental restriction, they were

motivated to research the use of other

morally acceptable forms of adult stem

cells. The result is that we know more

about how stem cells work and their

real possibilities for health care than we

would have if embryonic stem cells had

become the central and main focus of

research.

In his encyclical Caritas in Veritate,

Pope Benedict XVI points out that the

failure to solve real issues often stems

from falling into the mistaken belief

that our most important problems are

technical, when in fact they are spiritual

and moral in origin. Moral deliberation

requires looking beyond the first possible

means that come to mind and asking not

only what can be done but also what else

can and should be done. Taking the time

to do the right thing usually pays off

more in the long run than rushing in like

fools where angels fear to tread. †

Just Live It: Forming Faith By Kathleen M. Basi

From the day the priest poured

water over our babies’ heads

and anointed them with chrism,

my husband and I knew it was our

responsibility to train them in the

practice of the faith. The rite of baptism

told us so. But it didn’t seem like a big

deal. What’s faith formation to infants?

As long as we cuddle them and keep

them fed, dry, and safe, we’re mirroring

God, who is love.

Fast-forward a few years, and the

responsibility gets a lot scarier. After

all, we’re not theologians or saints.

We’re doctors and factory workers,

stay-at-home moms, and retail clerks.

What do we know about passing on the

faith? What if we get it wrong—and our

children leave the Church for good?

We faithfully send our kids to Catholic

schools and religious-education classes,

trusting that great Someone Else to cover

our bases. Classes are important, but

a living faith is learned by consistent

example, and our children watch us all

the time. Even after they’re in school,

we’re still their primary teachers of the

faith—and we can’t teach what we don’t

know. In other words, forming our

children’s faith begins with forming our

own. After all, faith lived does its own

teaching to the next generation. †
