Saint Agatha, Virgin and Martyr Memorial ~ February 5

From Catania, Sicily, Saint Agatha defended her purity throughout being tortured. "If you threaten me with wild

beasts, know that at the Name of Christ they grow tame; if you use fire, from heaven angels will drop healing dew on me.” During her imprisonment and torture, she received a miraculous visit from the apostle Peter who healed all her wounds. After being beaten again, Agatha prayed, “O Lord Jesus Christ, good Master, I give You thanks that You granted me victory over the executioners' tortures. Grant now that I may happily dwell in Your never-ending glory." A year after her death, she was credited with saving the city of Catania from a volcanic eruption of Mount Etna when townspeople held her veil against the oncoming flames. Her grave is venerated in Catania and her name appears in the Roman Cannon.

Saints of the Week

St. Paul Miki & Companions, Martyrs

Memorial ~ February 6

The son of a Japanese military leader, born in Tounucumada, Japan - Paul Miki, a Japanese Jesuit, was crucified with his twenty-five companions in Nagasaki, Japan. The faces of the group of martyrs

shone with gladness during their final struggle. “Like my Master,” murmured Paul, “I shall die upon the cross. Like him, a lance will pierce my heart so that my blood and my love can flow out upon the land and sanctify it to his name.” They were all canonized as the Martyrs of Japan in 1862. They were the first martyrs of East Asia to be canonized.

In Our Prayers

World Marriage Day (WMD) honors husband and wife as the foundation of the family, the basic unit of society. It salutes the beauty of their faithfulness, sacrifice and joy in daily married life. HISTORY - The idea of celebrating marriage

began in Baton Rouge, La., in 1981, when couples en-couraged the Mayor, the Governor and the Bishop to proclaim St. Valentines Day as "We Believe in Marriage Day". By 1982, 43 Governors officially proclaimed the day and celebrations spread to U.S. military bases in several for-eign countries. In 1983, the name was changed to "World Marriage Day", designated to be celebrated each year on the sec-ond Sunday in February. In 1993, his Holiness, Pope John Paul II, imparted his Apostolic Blessings on World Marriage Day. THEME - Our Theme for WMD has been permanently adopted as "Love One Another". This phrase is the com-mandment given us by Jesus in John 15:12. It speaks to us in a simple but challenging way of how our Father wishes us to live. Loving one another is a daily decision, simple but challenging. http://www.wwme.org/wpd-wmd

All Sins can be forgiven... The Catholic Church teaches explicitly that there is no sin, no matter how serious, that cannot be forgiven. (Catechism

of the Catholic Church) To imply otherwise is a challenge to God’s omnipotence. God’s mercy is more powerful than any human ability to do evil. However, humans also have free will. God does not force us to reconcile but gives us the freedom to accept or reject divine mercy. For sin to be forgiven, we must admit our faults. (US Catholic) 1864 "Therefore I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven." 136 There are no limits to the mercy of God, but anyone who deliberately refuses to accept his mercy by repent-ing, rejects the forgiveness of his sins and the salvation offered by the Holy Spirit. 137 Such hardness of heart can lead to final impenitence and eternal loss. (CCC) 982-983 No sin is so serious that the Church cannot forgive it. "There is no one so wicked who cannot hope for forgiveness if his repentance is honest" (Roman Catechism). Christ always wants the Church's gates of forgiveness to be open for those turning from sin. (CCC)

Catechism of the Catholic Church Part 2

Our parish at Saint Peter Church has

50 children preparing to receive the

Sacrament of First Reconciliation

in early February!

Please pray for these children and their families as they prepare to experience God’s amazing mercy, forgiveness, and grace.

Wednesday, February 13 ~ 7:00 pm

And God said to Moses" I AM WHO I AM." And he said, "Say to the people of Israel: 'I AM has sent me to you.” "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham

was born, I AM."

The same "I AM" of the Jews -- the God of the Universe in the Person of Jesus Christ -- awaits your presence in adoration in the Holy Family Chapel. Christ awaits YOU, all day every day.

Will YOU give YOUR God one hour a week in adoration? Start now to make this the best Lent of your life. Start Lent early by offering yourself to your God. He will give you His Love, His Peace, His Mercy. God awaits YOU! Look at the Cross. Commit to Him as He committed to you.
