FATHER’S CORNER Father Mike

Today’s second reading from First

Corinthians is a popular selection for

wedding Masses. While it is a beautiful

explanation of the many aspects of love,

most couples are surprised to learn that

Paul was fairly upset with the

Corinthians. Whichever example Paul

uses for love, it is safe to assume the

Corinthians were doing the opposite.

Love is one characteristic of God which

humans are able to imitate (although

Imperfectly). Paul’s frustration with the

community came from them being self-

absorbed with their spiritual gifts and not

sharing them for the good of others. As

God shares his love with us, we are

charged with sharing that which we have

received with others. May we always do

our best (even imperfectly) to imitate God!

LA ESQUINA DEL PADRE -Padre Miguel

La segunda lectura de hoy de primera

de Corintios es una selección popular

para las Misas de boda. Mientras que es

una hermosa explicación de los muchos

aspectos del amor, la mayoría de las

parejas se sorprenden al saber que Pablo

estaba muy molesto con los Corintios.

Cualquiera que sea el ejemplo que Pablo

usa para el amor, es seguro asumir que

los corintios estaban haciendo lo

contrario.

El amor es una característica de Dios

que los humanos pueden imitar (aunque

imperfectamente). La frustración de

Pablo con la comunidad se debió a que se

absorbieron a sí mismos con sus dones

espirituales y no los compartieron por el

bien de los demás. Cuando Dios comparte

su amor con nosotros, estamos

encargados de compartir lo que hemos

recibido con los demás. ¡Que siempre

hagamos lo mejor (incluso

imperfectamente) para imitar a Dios!

Los martes con Miguel a las 7:30pm en la capilla de Guadalupe. Las sesiones duran aproximadamente 45 minutos, con tiempo para preguntas. Tema: El significado de los números en la biblia

El objetivo es reafirmar nuestra fe.

Mass at the College of Idaho - Thursday Feb. 7th, 11:30am, in the chapel. All are welcome

New Year Bible Study

The conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth are in many ways similar to our struggles today as Christians. They, too, witnessed division, scandal, immorality, persecution and other trials. In response, St. Paul taught the Corinthians about the Church as the Body of Christ, introducing them to the most powerful gift of all: the Eucharist. Join us in the Study of First Corinthians: The Church and the Christian Community. We meet in the small conference room across from office beginning January 8 at 7:00 pm every Tuesday ~ last class on March 5. For more information or to register for the study, contact Hans & Janene Nederend at 208-573-2955 or [email protected]

DATE CHANGE - Starts FEBRUARY

See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response

from his people, the Church and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist.

The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life. Join us on Sundays at 6:30pm (Feb. 24 - Apr. 7) in the John Paul II room. Any questions, please call Pam Haddock at (208) 722-5709.

Do you want to get to know yourself better, experience the presence and love of Jesus Christ, and become part of a loving and caring Christian community? If so, Cursillo is for you. Catholics, 18 years of age and

older, are able to attend. The men’s Cursillo is scheduled from February 21-24, 2019 and the women’s Cursillo is scheduled from February 28-March 3, 2019; both will be at the Nazareth Retreat Center. Interested men should contact Braden Stauts at 208-340-2814 or [email protected] and women should contact Cecilia Obrochta at 208-890-2066 or [email protected].

Attention Married and Engaged Couples: Has anyone ever clearly explained for you WHY the Catholic Church does not approve of contraception? For most of us, the answer is NO. Learn about your faith and discover a natural method of family planning that goes beyond the physical. Through Natural Family Planning, fertility is viewed as a reality to live, not a problem to be solved. NFP calls for shared responsibility by husband and wife, eliminates the use of harmful hormones and chemicals and helps couples celebrate God's vision of human sexuality. A Couple to Couple League, 3-part course in the scientific sympto-thermal method will be held at St. Mark's Catholic Church, Fridays, Feb. 22, Mar. 22, and May 3 from 6:00-8:30 . Pre-registration at ccli.org is required by Feb 17. Online courses are also available. Contact Jeff and Erika Cowman at [email protected] for details.
