Compendium of Catechism of The Catholic Faith
The Ten Commandments
442. What is implied in the affirmation of God: “I am the Lord your God” (Exodus 20:2)? This means
that the faithful must guard and activate the three theological virtues and must avoid sins which are opposed to them. Faith believes in God and rejects everything that is opposed to it, such as, deliberate doubt, unbelief, heresy, apostasy, and schism. Hope trustingly awaits the blessed vision of God and his help, while avoiding despair and presumption. Charity loves God above all things and therefore repudiates indifference, ingratitude, lukewarmness, sloth or spiritual indolence, and that hatred of God which is born of pride.
Saints & Special Observances Sunday: Second Sunday Ordinary Time Monday: St. Fabian, St. Sebastian Tuesday: St. Agnes Wednesday: Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children Thursday: St. Vincent; St. Marianne Cope Friday: St. Francis de Sales Saturday: The Conversion of St. Paul

The Catholic Truth about Angels, Demons, Ghosts and Hauntings
Please join us Wednesday February 5, 2020 from 6:00-8:00 PM in the main Church for a fascinating talk on what the Church really teaches about angels, demons, ghosts, exorcisms, and hauntings. In this presentation, Dave VanVickle will draw from his extensive experience assisting priests in their ministries of exorcism and deliverance and from his study of Church teaching. Dave clears up the many misunderstandings surrounding this topic during this thorough and dynamic presentation on the world of evil and the unfathomable power of the mercy of God flowing through his priests. After the talk there will be time for questions. You will not want to miss this!

CALLED TO BE HOLY
With this Sunday we begin Ordinary Time. The readings tell us about God’s relationship with Israel and John the Baptist’s relationship with Jesus. Israel’s relationship with God is so close, so intimate, that it is through Israel that God’s “salvation [will] reach to the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6). But we know from John the Baptist that for Israel to accomplish God’s will, it must also recognize that Jesus is the Son of God. During these weeks we also get to know Jesus. We begin to understand more deeply our relationship to Jesus and what that relationship means for us, who are “called to be holy” (1 Corinthians 1:2). Copyright

SAINT AGNES (died 304) January 21
Writing about Saint Agnes in the year 377, Saint Ambrose, Bishop of Milan, declared: “This is a virgin’s birthday into heaven: let us imitate her chastity! And a martyr’s heavenly birthday: let us offer ourselves in sacrifice!” Chastity: mastery of oneself in order to give of oneself whether in the priestly, religious, married, or single state. Sacrifice: “to make holy,” to set someone or something apart for service. Ambrose knew these virtues indispensable for discipleship, but challenging to practice in his world—or our own. Barely a teenager, Agnes faced gruesome tortures bravely and, when ordered to worship pagan gods, boldly made the Sign of the Cross instead. Thus, her youthful courage strengthened adult believers who wavered under persecution or grew indifferent when persecutions passed. To bestow on Agnes its highest honor and keep her witness fresh in believers’ hearts, the Church inscribed her name at the heart of the Eucharistic liturgy, in the Roman Canon (Eucharistic Prayer I), until Vatican II the Roman Church’s only Eucharistic Prayer.
