Blessing of Throats in Memory of St. Blaise
St. Blaise was the Bishop of Sebaste in Armenia who suffered
martyrdom under Licinius about A.D. 316. While in prison, he
miraculously cured a small boy who was choking to death on a
fishbone lodged in his throat. By the sixth century, St. Blaise's
intercession was invoked for diseases of the throat in the East.
As early as the eighth century,
records attest to the veneration of
St. Blaise in Europe, and he
became one of the most popular
saints in the spiritual life of the
Middle Ages.
In memory of St. Blaise, we will
have the Blessing of the Throats at
all the Masses next weekend,
January 31 - February 1st.
Eucharistic Ministers scheduled
for the Masses will be asked to
assist the priest with the blessings.
Please call the parish office if you
have any questions or concerns.
January 25, 2015
Today we hear the post-whale story of Jonah. Jonah has
already run from what God was asking him to do, the whale
has come and swallowed him and after three days spewed him
up on shore. Finally, Jonah assents to what God is asking of
him as he goes to the city of Ninevah calling for repentance.
Even though he just had this experience with the whale, it
still took courage to proclaim this message. Ninevah was a
huge city dedicated to the Babylonian goddess Ishtar; Jonah,
was one small voice in the midst of this big city. Yet, as the
people heard God’s message they responded to the call to
repentance.
However, that’s only part of the story. If we move on to the
next verse (which begins a new chapter) we see that Jonah now
becomes angry at God. God has seen the repentance of the
people and decided to have mercy on the city, but Jonah wants
to see vengeance not mercy. He wants the Babylonians to get
what’s coming to them.
I think many of us have a lot more in common with Jonah
than we’d like to admit. Not only do we often run away from
what God is asking, but I think we often want to see others get
‘what’s coming to them.’ How many times do we sit in a
movie theatre, watch television or read the paper and notice
that it feels right when the bad guy gets his ‘upcommance’
(according to the Urban Dictionary this is a valid word). It’s
only fair, right? Unfortunately, that’s not how we as followers
of Jesus are supposed to respond. We shouldn’t feel good
when others experience bad things even if we think they
deserve it.
How many times do I deserve punishment from God for my
sins, yet I go to confession and ask for mercy; and he gives it
to me…time and time again. Sure, my sins may not seem
comparable to the actions of some of the horrendous things
happening in the world; but in God’s sight, sin is sin, and there
are consequences for sin, but He extends mercy. If I want God
to show me mercy, it’s necessary that I show mercy to others.
When we pray the Our Father we say, forgive us our
trespasses (debts, sins) as we forgive others (trespasses, debts,
sins) … that should be a scary thought for many of us.
Our lives have all been affected by negative and evil things
that happen in the world, whether it is poverty, racism, sexism
or terrorism (or whatever other –ism you can think of). I’m not
implying we are called to be a doormat; that’s not what
Christianity is either. Yes, something needs to be done about
these things; but remember there is a big difference between
justice and vengeance. We can’t hold on to anger or rage; it
will consume us. We also can’t try to reconcile the Law of
Talons (an eye for an eye) with the Gospel of Jesus, it simply
won’t work. We are called to pray for our persecutors and love
our enemies (Matthew 5:44), and yes, that can be at times
almost impossible. But, Jesus never said that following Him
would be easy, He just said He would help us with our
burdens. And, He has always been faithful to his word.
I’d encourage you to read the book of Jonah, it’s only 4
chapters long, but if you can’t do that try to read the 11 verses
of chapter 4 (including the footnotes) where God confronts the
anger of Jonah. (http://usccb.org/

Feast of Candlemas - February 2nd - The Blessing of
the Candles - Simeon called Jesus “a
light to the nations.” The light to Jesus’
presence in the world has been celebrated on this day, February 2nd, for
many centuries. The Presentation of the
Lord, “Candlemas” is a feast of light.
Traditionally, on this feast, or close to
the feast, enough candles are blessed to
last the whole year.
On the weekend of January 31 - February 1, you are invited to
bring a candle from home to represent all candles in your home
to be lighted on birthdays, baptismal anniversaries, first Holy
Communion, and in sickness. You are asked to place your candle near the basket in front of the altar before Mass. Please remember to collect your candle after Mass.
