Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church February 5, 2017

From The Pastor:

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate in our Annual Catholic Appeal. This is our main opportunity in the year to participate in and support the Church’s ministries in our diocese. By the giving and receiving of gifts, the Joy of God’s Love is made manifest. Take a glance at the brochure to become familiar with the many programs and ministries that are supported by this fund. Many of them directly benefit us here at Blessed Sacrament. Our share of the overall fund is $26,000 and, as in years past, I’m sure we will exceed our goal and be able to apply the sur-plus funds to meet our own wide-ranging needs.

I invite you to prayerfully consider your response as a faithful steward and caretaker of Gods mani-fold gifts. Pledge cards can be returned in the collections, sent to the office or may be submitted online at: www.giving.sdcatholic.org.

Regardless of the amount, your participation will make a profound difference for it reflects the Joy of Love. I am most grateful for your generosity and kind support. Be assured of my continuing prayers for you and your loved ones.

Sincerely yours in Christ - Fr Jon

Readings for the Week

LAMPS AND BUSHEL BASKETS

Jesus uses the present tense, "you are" salt of the earth and light of the world. This can be troubling to hear, upon a little reflection, when we already suspect that we are not. It's easy to see how often we fail to truly be salt and light for others. This can lead to discouragement and a fear of failing again. But Jesus says that being salt and light is God's gift, and not our own accomplishment. He notes the "bushel basket" that prevents the light of the lamp from being seen. We have created and received all kinds of patterns of thinking and behaving that block our capacity to be light for others. But these patterns do not define us. What-ever our faults, we are primarily God's beloved and gifted people. We can have hope that God will assist us in addressing our "bushel basket," to overcome what blocks our ability to love others. Jesus' Good News for us is that we are ultimately not the bushel basket, but the lamp.

CITY ON A MOUNTAIN

Often, we envision Jesus' imagery of salt and light applied to the life of individual Christians. This is indeed appropriate. However, along with "salt of the earth" and "light of the world", we hear of a "city set on a mountain." Clearly, these images are also directed to Christian communities. A parish, for example, is called to have a visible, caring presence in its local area. As salt and light, a community of faith can add its own flavor and wisdom to its surroundings. A faith community can have its own "bushel basket," too. This might include unresolved inter-nal conflicts, or a lack of welcoming to strangers, or just being too internally focused. These can prevent the community from demonstrating God's love. However, just as with individuals, God can lead the faithful to address these obstacles, and to become salt and light more fully for their neighborhood.

New Sick List Policy!

You can send in new sick list intentions or renew old ones anytime but they will be removed after two weeks.

JOIN THE PADRINOS! Become a “Padrino” to sponsor a child or a family in our school. Any amount that you can give will help a child and safeguard the future of the school. Please contact the parish office.

AROUND TOWN

Daily Prayer for Our Priests

O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; for your unfaithful & tepid priests; for your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields; for your tempted priests; for your lonely & desolate priests; for your young priests; for your dying priests; for the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: the priest who baptized me, the priests who absolved me from my sins, the priests at whose Masses I assisted & who gave me Your body & blood in Communion, the priests to whom I am indebted any other way especially (name….) O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, and bless them abundantly in time & in eternity. Amen. --St. Therese of Lisieux
