FOR OUR TROOPS

Jesus used ordinary images, such as salt and light, to convey extraordinary truths. What does salt and light have to teach us about God and his reign on earth? Salt was a valuable commodi-ty in the ancient world. People traded with it, like we trade with gold and stock. Salt also served a very useful purpose in hot climates before the invention of electricity and refrigera-tion. Salt not only gave food flavor, it also preserved meat from spoiling. Jesus used the image of salt to describe how his disci-ples are to live in the world. As salt purifies, preserves, and penetrates, so the disciple must be as salt in the world of human society to pu-rify, preserve, and penetrate that society for the kingdom of God and of his righteousness and peace. Jesus also used the image of light and a lamp to further his illustration. Lamps in the ancient world served a vital function, much like they do today. They enable people to see and work in the dark and to avoid stum-bling. The Jews also understood “light” as an expression of the inner beauty, truth, and good-ness of God. God’s grace not only illumines the darkness in our lives, but it also fills us with spiritual light, joy, and peace. Jesus used the image of a lamp to describe how his disciples are to live in the light of his truth and love. Just as natural light illumines the darkness and enables one to see visually, so the light of Christ shines in the hearts of believers and enables us to see the heaven-ly reality of God’s kingdom. Everything that one does, is known to God who sees all. There is great freedom and joy for those who live in God’s light and who seek this truth. Those who lis-ten to God and heed his voice will receive more from him. Do you know the joy and freedom of living in God’s light?

Jesús usó imágenes ordinarias, como la sal y la luz, para transmi-tir verdades extraordinarias. ¿Qué nos enseña la sal y la luz so-bre Dios y su reino en la tierra? La sal era una mercancía valiosa en el mundo antiguo. La gente comerciaba con él, como nosotros comerciamos con oro y acciones. La sal también tenía un propósi-to muy útil en climas cálidos antes de la invención de la electrici-dad y la refrigeración. La sal no solo le dio sabor a los alimentos,

sino que también evitó que la carne se echara a per-der. Jesús usó la imagen de la sal para describir cómo deben vivir sus discípulos en el mundo. Así como la sal purifica, preserva y penetra, el discípulo debe ser como la sal en el mundo de la sociedad humana para purificar, preservar y penetrar en esa sociedad para el reino de Dios y su justicia y paz. Jesús también usó la imagen de la luz y una lámpara para promover su ilustración. Las lámparas en el mundo antiguo cumplían una función vital, al igual que lo hacen hoy. Permiten a las personas ver y trabajar en la oscuridad y evitar tropezar. Los ju-díos también entendieron la "luz" como una expre-sión de la belleza interior, la verdad y la bondad de Dios. La gracia de Dios no solo ilumina la oscuri-dad en nuestras vidas, sino que también nos llena de

luz espiritual, alegría y paz. Jesús usó la imagen de una lámpara para describir cómo deben vivir sus discípulos a la luz de su ver-dad y amor. Así como la luz natural ilumina la oscuridad y le per-mite a uno ver visualmente, la luz de Cristo brilla en los corazo-nes de los creyentes y nos permite ver la realidad celestial del reino de Dios. Todo lo que uno hace es conocido por Dios que lo ve todo. Hay una gran libertad y alegría para aquellos que viven en la luz de Dios y que buscan esta verdad. Aquellos que escuchen a Dios y presten atención a su voz recibirán más de él. ¿Conoces la alegría y la libertad de vivir en la luz de Dios?

10 Guiding Principals

Prayer Chain of the Holy Rosary in our parish!

MEDITATION/MEDITACI N

1. SEEK WHAT MAKES YOU COME TO ALIVE

Pursue what is meaningful, joyful and purposeful, not just easy and expedient. 2. BELIEVE IN YOURSELF

Trust your poten al for crea vity and resourcefulness. New challenges call for new thinking and new ac ng.

3. FIND YOUR SQUARE SQUAD

Surround yourself with people who believe in you and care about you enough to tell you the truth.

4. INVEST IN YOURSELF

Invest in yourself so that others will naturally want to invest in you.

5. NEVER GET TOO COMFORTABLE

Regularly try things outside your comfort zone. Tip: You should feel uncomfortable when things get too comfortable.

6. YOU ARE ENOUGH

Don’t believe that you are small to make a difference. You have everything you need to step in, step up, step out. 7. NURTURE YOUR WISDOM NETWORKS

Develop a broad network of rela onships that make you wiser. There is more value in people willing to work with you, than for you. 8. DON’T SETTLE FOR BEING AN EXCELLENT SHEEP

Approach each situa on with inten on. Respond from choice not from obliga on nor expecta on.

9. COMMIT TO LIFELONG LEARNING

The future belongs to the curious. Learn adjacent skills, experi-ment with new prac ces and care/share by teaching.

10. MAKE TIME TO REFLECT AND RENEW

Safeguard the space and me for your brain to create new con-nec ons, recognize new pa erns and develop new perspec ves.

World Day of the Sick

The Safe Haven Sunday

February 11 is World Day of the Sick, an observation start-ed by Pope John Paul II as a way for believers to offer pray-ers for those suffering from illnesses. The day coincides with the commemoration of Our Lady of Lourdes. People around the world take the time to pray for the sick and for those who work very hard to alleviate the sufferings of the sick on this day.

The weekend of February 22-23, 2020

The family home is to be a safe haven. But the inappropri-ate use of technology in the home deprives it of this role and is the greatest threat to the sanctity of marriages and families today. Pornography and other online threats are often one click away, and parents can feel overwhelmed with not knowing how to best protect their children in our fast-paced digital world.

Catholic Mobilizing Network has creat-ed a study guide and accompanying resources for individuals and groups to reflect on the important message of the new film Just Mercy. The film illus-trates the structural racism endemic to our capital punishment system, and lays bare how this system devalues and cheapens all human life. The study guide and resources offer viewers a way to explore the Catholic call to up-hold the sanctity of life within the U.S criminal legal system.
