STEWARDSHIP BY THE BOOK
In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord
calls him. May we, too, be listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say
like the psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”

WORD OF LIFE
“Pope Francis has seen a deeper link between the poor
and the unborn. They are both among the first victims of
a ‘throw-away society,’ an attitude that sees people as
disposable when they do not serve the selfish interests of
those with more power.”
— “Poverty and Abortion: A Vicious Cycle,” 2014

2nd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

A popular hymn used in many Catholic churches is Here I am Lord. That hymn is
based in part on our first reading from the Book of Samuel. The Lord wants us to
respond just the way Samuel does in the reading. God calls each of us to
discipleship through lives of stewardship.
Just as Samuel was confused, we, too, may fail to understand what God is calling
us to at times. Nevertheless, just like Samuel we do need to respond “Here I am
Lord.” That is not always easy and it can be uncomfortable at times. Eli instructs
Samuel to respond “Speak Lord, for your servant is listening.” Samuel does so and
“the Lord was with him.”
Our challenge is first to hear God’s call. It is there always, but we must listen for it.
Then we need to respond to that call, and we need to respond in ways that show
we recognize that the call is to service and the call is for us to be disciples. It is
only implied initially, but it is clear that the Lord is calling Samuel by name. In the
same way God calls each of us by name. We need to hear that as Samuel did, and we need to respond as Samuel
did, “Here I am Lord. I come to do your will.”

OUR CATHOLIC APPEAL
This year’s Diocesan “Our Catholic Appeal” will be
presented by our Bishop John Noonan at all the Masses
on February 14th & 15th. Some of you will receive the
annual request in the mail because of having donated in
previous years.
Blessed Trinity Parish is serious about its mission and we
are happy and proud to accept our fair share of the cost
to operate our great Diocese of Orlando with its many
worthwhile ministries that cannot be fulfilled by
individual parishes – such as Vocations, Catholic
Charities, Administration, Bishops Office, Long Range
planning, Office of Schools, Leadership training, Special
Schools, Retreats, etc…
Our fair share of the total cost for running the Diocese
this year is: $148,461.00.
Over the last several years, because so many of you
strive to do your fair share as a parishioner, our parish
has been able to meet its assigned goal. What we get
over and above goes into:
1. The Diocesan Priests Benevolent fund.
2. Long range Endowment for our parish (ie The
Catholic Foundation)
3. To supplement the current parish budget.
We encourage all parishioners to participate. If you have
given in the past strive to increase your pledge. If you
are giving for the first time use 1% of your gross as a
guide. Thanks.

Sunday, January 18th: Join us for Mass, dinner & Life Night,
concluding at 8:00pm. One of the devil’s greatest tactics is to
convince the world that he doesn’t exist. A lot of people
don’t want to talk about the devil or evil, but there is a fight
that every single one of us is involved in. The fight going back
to our first parents…the fight between good & evil. Tonight
we are talking about spiritual warfare and how we draw our
strength in Christ.
Sunday, January 25th: Join us for Mass, dinner & Life Night,
concluding at 8:00pm. Many of us hear the Seventh
Commandment, “Thou shall not steal,” and automatically
think of robbery. Tonight we are going to broaden our
understanding that stealing is not limited to theft, but
encompasses a larger range of topics. Tonight’s challenge is
to take a closer look at our lives and break any habits of
stealing.

CASEY JACKSON KWATKOSKY—EAGLE SCOUT
The parish congratulates Casey Jackson Kwatkosky who
was inducted into the high rank of Eagle Scout on January
10th at a special ceremony in Blessed Trinity Church.
Casey had a unique Eagle Scout project. Because of his
love of reading Casey supervised the reading of “100
books every child should read before kindergarten.” He
recorded his fellow scouts of Troop 172 as they read the
books. He edited the recordings and copied the audio
books onto discs. He labeled the discs and delivered them
to Angels in Arms. They are now being used by the pre-k
teachers.
We congratulate the Kwatkosky family, the leaders and
scouts of Troop 172 and all others who helped Casey
achieve this Eagle Scout award.
CHILDRENS OFFERINGS
It is time to encourage parents to encourage their
children to bring a gift for God each and every week
and bring it up to the Altar while adults are being
passed the collection basket. It does not have to be
money. It really should be their gift. At present it is
mostly pre-schoolers who come. But the plan was
for all youth—grade school up to and including 12th
grade—to come to the Altar. Encourage them. It is
a real life learning experience.
Because of our vows of chastity poverty,
and obedience, consecrated religious have
the freedom to work with others in caring
for those on the margins of society,
speaking on their behalf, yet at the same
time, empowering them to recognize and
utilize their God-given gifts and talents.

STEWARD SAINTS OF THE WEEK
Week of January 18-24
January 20—Fabian
January 20—Sebastian
January 21—Agnes
January 22—Vincent
January 24—Francis de Sales
FRANCIS DE SALES
St. Francis de Sales was a gentle and persuasive preacher who worked
tirelessly, first as priest and then as bishop, to re-evangelize the diocese of
Geneva, which had become a center of Calvinism during the Protestant
Reformation. He also collaborated with St. Jane Frances de Chantal (August
18) to establish the Sisters of the Visitation. The patron saint of journalists,
he wrote numerous pamphlets and countless letters as well as two
best-selling books, The Introduction to the Devout Life and A Treatise on
the Love of God, which are still widely read today. One of his favorite
themes was that all Christians are called to holiness -- each in his or her
own way: “I say that devotion must be practiced in different ways by the
nobleman and by the working man, by the servant and by the prince, by
the widow, by the unmarried girl, and by the married woman. But even this
distinction is not sufficient; for the practice of devotion must be adapted to
the strength, to the occupation, and to the duties of each one in
particular.” Does the meaning of this passage change if we substitute the
word “stewardship” for “devotion”?
Do you have a thought, idea, comment
for any of the staff of Blessed Trinity?!
We now have a "comment box" inside the Stewardship
Center. You can place those comments in the box at any
time and we will make sure they get to the right staff
member. We hope this will be another helpful tool we
can use to keep building our parish community.

PERPETUAL ADORATION NEEDS
Is your new year’s resolution to devote more time to prayer? Or
are you trying to figure out what you can do for Lent this year – it
starts on February 18th. Or perhaps you didn’t know, but as part
of the commitment to stewardship, each family is asked to offer
one hour a week in adoration. No matter your reason,
Jesus, in the Adoration Chapel, needs you! The following are
times that are in particular need – as there is only one person/one
family currently adoring at that time and the goal is to have two
people present if possible. Feel free to recruit an adoration
partner to share the responsibility of the hour – or perhaps your
ministry would like to “sponsor” an hour. We are flexible and we
need you. Please prayerfully consider this amazing opportunity –
it will become one of the best hours of your week.
Please contact Terry Schultz Nourse at
tfnourse@embarqmail.com or 352-817-5553 to schedule your
adoration hour.
