THE R EADINGS FOR THIS WEEK
The Pastor’s
Corner
Ash Wednesday
We begin our journey in Lent this year on Feb. 10. Lent is a
time of repentance.
During Lent, we abstain from things that harm our
relationship with God, especially practices that become
habitual and take over our lives. Also, a lot of us give up things
we crave, which is a means for developing a spiritual discipline
that gives one fortitude to overcome temptation. It is a time to
turn away from focusing our lives on our own wants and needs
and turn toward focusing our lives on the Gospels.
Please join us on our Lenten journey by coming to our
Lenten Mission. This will be Feb. 15-17 at 7:00 pm in the
church. I hope to see you all there.
Amen? Amen!

His say-so
Isaiah 6:1-8
1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Psalm 138:1-5, 7-8
Luke 5:1-11
“If You say so, I will lower the nets.”
– Luke 5:5
One of the most crucial decisions in life is to do what
we don’t understand, just because God said so. This
is walking by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:7). In this
way, we let the Lord raise us above our human
limitations. Children who refuse to do something
just because their parents tell them to do it will
seriously deprive themselves. It’s the same with us
who are God’s children. We don’t know everything
we need to know. We don’t know the future. We can’t
read people’s minds. We can’t even know ourselves
that well. We are doomed to be captive to our human
limitations unless we have the faith to obey the
all-knowing, all-powerful, and all-loving God.
The truly great people in history obeyed God
when they didn’t understand. Noah couldn’t understand why God wanted him to build an ark. Moses
didn’t see how he could free his nation from slavery.
Isaiah didn’t understand why he should prophesy to
a nation that God knew wouldn’t listen (Is 6:8-10).
Ananias didn’t think it was a good idea to visit Saul,
who was in town to arrest Christians (Acts 9:13ff).
Joseph didn’t see why he should refrain from divorcing Mary (Mt 1:19). Mary didn’t understand how she
could remain a virgin and conceive Jesus. Trust not
in your own understanding (Prv 3:5). Obey God.
• Prayer: Father, may I go against my “better” judgment
and do Your will.
• Promise: “By God’s favor I am what I am.” – 1 Cor 15:10
• Praise: “How deep are the riches and the wisdom and
the knowledge of God! How inscrutable His judgments,
how unsearchable His ways!...To Him be glory forever.
Amen” (Rm 11:33, 36).

KNOW YOUR SAINTS
Saint Colette (1381-1447)
CATECHESIS
(kat’i-ke’sis) n.
What are the essential elements
of Christian marriage?
(1) Unity: Marriage is a covenant that by its very nature
brings about bodily, intellectual, and spiritual union
between a man and a woman;
(2) Indissolubility: Marriage lasts “until death do us part”;
(3) Openness to offspring: Every marriage must be open to
children;
(4) Commitment to the spouse’s welfare [2360-2361, 23972398]
If one of the two spouses deliberately excludes one of the
four points listed above at the time of their wedding, the
Sacrament of Matrimony does not take place. (YOUCAT
question 416)
Colette did not seek the limelight, but in doing God’s will
she certainly attracted a lot of attention.
She was born in Corbie, France. At 21 she began to
follow the Third Order Rule and became an anchoress, a
woman walled into a room whose only opening was a
window into a church.
After four years of prayer and penance in this cell, she
left it. With the approval and encouragement of the pope,
she joined the Poor Clares and reintroduced the primitive
Rule of St. Clare in the 17
monasteries she established.
Her sisters were known for
their poverty—they rejected
any fixed income—and for
their perpetual fast. Colette’s
reform movement spread to
other countries and is still
thriving today. Colette was
canonized in 1807. – www.

MADRINA: A madrina is a
godmother in Latino culture
who greatly cares for and looks
after her godchild. The role of
madrina at St. Cecilia is similar
in that she is called to lead
families in the direction of
Catholic schools. The school
madrina invites parents to
consider Catholic education,
welcoming them into the school family and guiding them in
their child’s faith and educational journey. As of this year,
we will have a madrina who will help us with our new
families. Lilia Bucio (photo, above), mother of two students
at St. Cecilia, will be the madrina. She has already helped
bring so many
families to the
sacraments at
St. Cecilia. 1
PRE-K VISIT: I
recently visited
the pre-kindergarten class to
prepare them to
attend their first
school Mass
(photo, left). I
spoke to the
class about
reverence, what
to expect, and
how special and lucky they are to attend Mass with the rest
of the school. I let them pass around the crucifix we use for
the procession, see my vestments, and touch the gold book.
They said that the reason the book was so beautiful and
gold was because it had Jesus in it. I can’t wait to visit their
classroom again. 1 RCIA CLASS ABOUT THE MASS:
During a Wednesday evening class (photo, bottom of page),
I was able to talk to the RCIA catechumens about the power
and the beauty of the Mass. Many baptized Catholics do
not realize how exciting each part of the Mass truly is. My
goal was to invigorate a greater appreciation for the worship
by explaining the Mass in very simple terms. From what
I was told, I did a good enough job to go to the class again
sometime, and maybe the school as well. We’ll see. 1
SOUNDPROOFED: Last
week I put a soundproofing
unit outside of my confessional. The unit (photo, left)
creates “white noise” to mask
over sounds. This unit was
recommended to me by my
friend Kevin Keelan. Many
churches in the diocese use
such devices to cover over the
voices of those confessing
their sins. It has been brought to my attention that our
confessionals are not soundproof and are in need of some
“fix” to protect those confessing. 1 SACRAMENT OF
BAPTISM: On Jan. 24, the Sacrament of Baptism was celebrated for two babies. Please welcome Beau Michael (photo,
below left), son of Matt and Carly Athey, and Vail Marie
(photo, below right), daughter of Lenval and Lindsay Isaacs.

Lenten Meditation Books
Living Lent with Mercy meditation books
will be available after the Masses this
weekend. These “mercy books” contain brief
daily meditations that will help you grow
closer to Christ as you celebrate and experience God’s mercy during this Lenten season.
We are now just a week and a half away from the beginning
of Lent. To close out Ordinary Time, we will have a halfhour prayer service on Tuesday, Feb. 9, at 6:30 p.m., just
before the annual Mardi Gras Ice Cream Social.
This prayer service will include the solemn closing of the
back altar doors, the addition of violet décor to the sanctuary
and the singing of the last “Alleluia.” The prayers will conclude with the burning of last year’s palms. The ashes of the
palms will be used for the Ash Wednesday Masses.
Pray the Stations of the
Cross During Lent
Beginning this Friday, and continuing on every Friday during Lent,
we will pray the Stations of the
Cross at 7:00 p.m. in the church.
During this special devotion,
through meditation and prayer, we
will walk with our Savior on His
way of suffering from the time he
was condemned to death until he
died and was buried. Making this
devotion part of your Lenten
commitment to prayer will help
you grow closer to Christ.

For several years, our parish has generously contributed
to a “dresser project.” Through this project, we collect
baby items that will be donated, through Pregnancy
Center East, to a

the choice of life for
her unborn child.
Many parishioners
find this to be a very
positive way to express

This year’s dresser can be found in the vestibule with a
list of suggested items. We are collecting baby items
from Jan. 16 through Feb. 7. Your participation is most
welcome and greatly appreciated!

STEWARDSHIP OF PRAYER
February Papal Prayer Intentions
Please keep in prayer Doris Orejula and Marvin Goedde that
they may receive God’s healing grace. All requests are honored
for two weeks with the individual’s or family’s approval. Contact
Barb Browarsky at the parish office, (513) 871-5757, ext. 202,
with Mass and sanctuary devotional candle intention requests.
Each month, Pope Francis asks Catholics to pray for special
intentions. For February, we pray that we may take good care
of creation—a gift freely given—cultivating and protecting it for future generations. And, that opportunities may
increase for dialogue and encounter between the Christian
faith and the peoples of Asia.
So Why Latin? Part 1
Beginning Ash Wednesday and continuing through Lent, we
will sing the Holy, Holy and Lamb of God in Latin as well as
include the Greek Kyrie Eleison. Why? We know that Latin
is still the official language of the Church and its liturgy; and
we recall that our true purpose of the Mass is to call us out
of the ordinary, to respond to God with reverence and awe,
and to join our prayers to the offering of Christ. Second, we
want to recall the history and tradition of using the Latin
language. And third, we want to see how Latin can remind us
of the mystery and holiness of the Mass.
Our Lady of Fatima
Prayer Group
All are invited to pray the
rosary for peace throughout
our world. Every Wednesday
from 1–2 p.m. in the last two
pews of church.
STEWARDSHIP OF MINISTRY
St. Vincent de Paul Society
As we start a new year, we want to share how
your generous donations in 2015 helped our
community through the work of our St. Vincent
de Paul chapter.
First we need to know what the Church teaches about
Latin and the liturgy. The Second Vatican Council never
condemned or forbid the use of Latin in the liturgy. Unfortunately, after 1965 there was a dramatic change that gave this
impression. We went from using almost all Latin at Mass to
almost totally excluding it. Vatican II also stated that while
the use of the vernacular was now permitted, “care must
be taken to ensure that the faithful may also be able to say
or sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the
Mass which pertain to them.” (Sacrosanctum Concilium
#36, 54). The US Bishops then outlined that “each worshiping community in the United States, including all age groups
and all ethnic groups, should, at a minimum, learn Kyrie
XVI, Sanctus XVIII, and Agnus Dei XVIII, all of which are
typically included in congregational worship aids.” (Sing to
the Lord; Music in Divine Worship #75)
The role of music in the Catholic Church is to serve the
needs of the liturgy—not to overpower it, seek to entertain, or
draw attention to itself. It is to help members of the gathered
assembly to join themselves with the action of Christ and to
give voice to the gift of faith.

with collections during our weekend Masses as well as Holy
Days. This could be a great opportunity for you to become
more active within the church without a time consuming
commitment. Please contact Dale Bogard at (513)410-6183 or
d.bogart@cinci.rr.com.
Join the Parish!
It just got a lot easier. If you are
interested in becoming a registered
member of St. Cecilia Parish, go to the
New Parishioner Registration link on the
home page of our updated website (www.
stceciliacincinnati.org), fill it out, and
hit Submit! And you’re good to go.
