From the Pastor
Last week we celebrated the
Baptism of the Lord. That feast day
represents an ending and a
beginning. It was, of course, the
end of the Christmas season.
However, it was also the beginning
of Jesus’ public ministry, as well as
the beginning of what we call
“ordinary time” in the Church. Thus, since endings
and beginnings sometimes overlap, this Sunday is
actually the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time.
Our readings this week not only mark the beginning
of Christ’s public ministry, but they also contain
some vivid stewardship imagery and meanings. The
First Reading from the Prophet Isaiah extols God’s
love for us. Isaiah compares that unconditional love
to the feelings of a bridegroom toward his bride. The
underlying idea which we must grasp is that if God
rejoices because of us, we in turn need to rejoice in
service to the Lord and to others. That is, after all,
the joy which comes from stewardship — the joy of
serving others without thought of a return.
St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians, from which
our Second Reading is drawn, was most likely written
from Ephesus while Paul was there for an extended
period of time. Although Ephesus is some 250 miles
from Corinth, there were many travelers between
the two cities, so most likely Paul was kept apprised
of situations and happenings in the Church in Corinth.
With concerns about the Corinthians returning to
previous practices and drifting from the Church, Paul
wrote this letter, and the content reflects his
apprehensions and his advice.
What St. Paul says to the Corinthians in this reading
could also be applied to our understanding of what
stewardship really is. With a stewardship awareness,
Paul states, “There are different kinds of spiritual
gifts but the same Spirit; there are different forms of
service but the same Lord; there are different
workings but the same God, who produces all of
them in everyone.” We are all gifted in different
ways, but regardless the gifts and the ways we are
gifted, Paul makes it clear that all comes from God.
When we reach that insight, we are well on our way
to a stewardship way of life.
As mentioned, this early Sunday in Ordinary Time,
through the Gospel of John, introduces us to what is
in effect Jesus’ first miracle at the Wedding Feast in
Cana. This occurrence is only reported in the Gospel
of St. John, but imagine the emotions at play. The
Lord is there having a good time like everyone else.
Our Blessed Mother is probably watching Him and
remembering all that has happened, from His birth
Page 3
and development to now. St. Mary knew and knows that
He is the Son of God.
There are not many direct quotes from the Blessed
Mother in scripture, but two of the more noteworthy
ones are in this Gospel. Mary tells Jesus simply, “They
are out of wine.” Jesus, her son but also the Son of God,
responds “My hour has not yet come.” The loving
Mother, who knows her Son well probably smiles in a
knowing way, and merely says to those around, “Do
whatever he tells you.” She knows that His time has
indeed come; His work is just beginning. Jesus, of
course, provides the wine through a miracle with which
we are well familiar.
We tend to make our lives much more complex than may
be necessary. It may be as simple as us understanding,
as St. Paul indicates, that God is in control. Then,
although it is not always simple or easily understood, we
need to “do whatever He tells us.” God loves us; we
need to rejoice in that and love in return. We are each
gifted with many wonderful gifts. Now all we have to do
is to do what God tells us over and over: love one
another.
Blessings, Fr. John

Welcome
Welcome to new member Joe Riley, who transferred from Visit our website: www.kofcnc12654.org
Rome, NY.
In Keeping With The Vatican's Year of Mercy, a Letter From The Knights of Columbus Supreme Treasurer:
We need your help in a crisis that is unfolding before our
eyes--the persecution of our suffering fellow in the
Middle East and elsewhere in the world.
From Erbil, Iraq, Archbishop Warda wrote to
share his overwhelming gratitude:
“The Knights of Columbus have been
particularly generous in their support, and we
cannot thank you enough for your donations, which
demonstrate a commitment to the work of Christ and
to the needs of suffering Middle East Christians.”
In the Ukraine, Major Archbishop Sviatoslav Shevchuk of
Kiev-Halych wrote: “I would like to express my immense
gratitude for the most generous gifts of the Knights of
Columbus... May the Good Lord reward your generosity
with His multiple heavenly gifts.”
people, most of them Christians, are now displaced by
ongoing violence in that country. These innocent people
need our help! They are facing grave dangers and
desperate circumstances as they pray for
whatever hope we can give them.
In his thank-you letter, Bishop Warda tells how
your donations are being used in Erbil, Iraq:
“The Knights of Columbus donation is being used to
help create permanent low-cost housing for those
Christian families (there will be many of them!) who
choose to stay in Iraq, but who will not return to their
original homes.”
We are deeply joyful to hear of this progress. If you wish
to learn more about our work in the Middle East and
Ukraine, and hear from those we are assisting in those
regions, visit www.ChristiansatRisk.org. Yet, sadly, there

Where: 9906 Psalms Street, Cornelius
We have been given a wonderful opportunity to work together with
Lake Norman Baptist Church and Mount Zion United Methodist Church
to build a home for Our Towns Habitat for Humanity. We hope that our

The wall rising begins February 6 with completion on May 7, 2016. Ages 16 and older are welcome to
participate. Registration is online at the St. Mark website www.stmarknc.org. Once you have put in your

In addition, we have committed to offering hospitality (coffee, cocoa, snacks at 10:30am) on the following
weekends: 2/13, 2/27,3/19,4/16,4/30. If anyone is interested in organizing a group to help with the hospitality
it only requires a handful of people to set up and serve. This is an easy opportunity for elementary, middle and
high school students. Please consider joining together with local churches to build this home. What a fabulous
opportunity for St. Mark to give of our time during the Lent and Spring seasons.
Contact: Beth at beth.zuhosky@stmarknc.org or 704-948-0231 ext. 136 if you have any questions.
Room in the Inn (RITI)
The Levine & Dickson Hospice House
The Room in the Inn Ministry continues, with 10
adult men and women coming each Tuesday
evening. The program continues through March. We
provide a safe and warm place to sleep, a hot dinner
and breakfast, a bag lunch, and laundry service.
LDHH in Huntersville continues to serve our community through
its mission to relieve suffering and improve the quality and
dignity of life through compassionate hospice care for those at
the end of life, palliative care for those with advanced illness,
and by providing community education.
We would like to thank the following local hotels for
assisting us with laundering sheets and towels in
January.
• Clarion Inn, Cornelius
• Hampton Inn & Suites, Huntersville
• Courtyard Marriott, Huntersville
• Huntersville Inn & Suites
St. Mark Parish is once again sponsoring the meals at LDHH
during the months of February and March. The Meal
Sponsorship program provides a warm meal to families sitting
bedside vigil with their loved ones at LDHH. Dinners are
provided each Tuesday and Thursday of the sponsored months
and lunch every other Saturday, giving patients and their
families an opportunity to spend this priceless time together.
We continue to need volunteers and donations,
including large and XL sweatpants, deodorant, and
razors. Financial donations are also welcome, to
cover paper supplies and gas for the rental vans.
More information can be found on the Church
website.
Volunteers are needed to provide and deliver the meals, setting
them up “buffet style” in the LDHH family dining area. No
clean up is required.
Contact: Larry Hauser, lawrencehauser@gmail.com
This is a great Lenten project to do with your family, friends, or
neighbors! To volunteer a meal, please contact Mary Fink at
mary@navarac.com.
Ongoing Collection of Food for Catholic Charities
Beginning in mid January, there will be a bin in the entrance of the Narthex of the Church
labeled “Catholic Charities” in which you can place any non-perishable foods to donate to
their food pantry. This collection will be on-going and you may drop off food at any time.
Please make sure the items are non-perishable, e.g. peanut butter and jellies (in plastic
containers), boxed goods, canned goods, etc., basically anything that won’t spoil before it
can be used.
Pope Francis challenges us in this Year of Mercy to take care of our fellow man. What better way is there to do this
than to help provide for man’s basic needs of food, clothing and shelter?
Take advantage of our grocery stores “buy one, get one free” program and donate the “free” one to Catholic
Charities. It’s a habit that is fun to get into! And it’s an easy way to teach your young ones about caring for your
fellow man. Contact: Tricia McCaa, Parish Office, 704-948-0231

21 de enero: Fiesta de Santa Inés – Virgen y Martir
Santa Inés nació alrededor del año 290. Pertenecía a
una noble familia romana. La joven recibió muy
buena educación cristiana y había consagrado su
virginidad al Señor Jesús.
Debido a sus riquezas y hermosura, la santa fue
pretendida por varios hombres, incluso por el hijo
del alcalde de Roma, el cual le prometió grandes
regalos a cambio de la promesa de matrimonio. Pero
ella, prometió entregar su vida a Jesús y ante esta
negativa, él la denunció como cristiana al
gobernador. En ese tiempo los cristianos eran perseguidos y ejecutados.
El gobernador intentaba persuadirla con amenazas, pero no logró convencerla
así que la envió a una casa de prostitución, donde acudieron muchos jóvenes
licenciosos pero que no se atrevieron a acercársele, pues fue protegida por
ángeles. El gobernador enfurecido la mandó a quemar en una hoguera, pero
las llamas no le hicieron daño. Finalmente resuelve condenarla a muerte
degollada.
En el momento de morir el gobernador aún la intentaba persuadir de que
renegara de su fe y fidelidad a Jesús a cambio de perdonarle la vida, pero ella
se mantuvo fiel a Jesús. Llegado el momento del martirio, reza y espera sin
temor la llegada de su propia muerte.
Sus restos fueron enterrados en la Vía Nomentana, en las llamadas
catacumbas de Santa Inés. Aún hoy, el 21 de enero de cada año, se bendicen
en este lugar dos corderillos con cuya lana se teje el Pallium del Papa y de los
Arzobispos. La Iglesia introdujo su nombre en el canon de la Misa.
