Pastor’s Message 3

St Blaise: Bishop and Martyr Saint Blaise is best known as the patron saint of people with sore throats. Blaise was a fourth-century bishop at Sebaste (Sivas) in central Turkey, in what was then the Roman province of Armenia-Cappadocia. During a persecution he was martyred in 316 AD. In many places on 3rd February – his feast day – people gather in churches for the blessing of throats. The blessing is a sign of the people’s faith in God’s protection and love for the sick. Using two crossed and unlighted candles, the priest touches the throat of each person, saying: Through the intercession of Saint Blaise, bishop and martyr, may God deliver you from all ailments of the throat and from every other evil: + in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. This year, however, we will have a general blessing of the throats, rather than the individual blessing. How has he become so famous for the blessing of throats? The most significant detail tells that when Blaise had been captured and was on his way to prison, a boy was brought to him in danger of chok-ing from a fishbone stuck in his throat. Blaise prayed over him and he was cured. In 2001 the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments issued a Directory on Popular Piety and the Liturgy giving principles and guidelines for evaluating the popular piety that surrounds saints like Blaise. By popular piety it designates those devotional practices that are inspired not by the liturgy but by forms derived from a particular people, nation, or culture. In the section on saints, the Directory points out that the Church honors saints because “in their lives they have achieved the paschal mystery as Christ did in his” and goes on to cite the words the priest says at Mass in the Preface for Holy Men and Women: In their lives on earth you give us an example; In our communion with them you give us their friendship; In their prayer for the church you give us strength and protection. It accepts that saints can be: -Patrons of local churches of which they were the founders or illustrious pastors (St Ambrose of Milan) or of which they were apostles of their conversion to the Christian faith (Sts Thomas and Bartholomew in India) -Patrons of nations or expressions of national identity (St Patrick in Ireland and St George in England) -Patrons of corporations and professions (St Blaise and the veterinarians or the wool-combers) -In particular circumstances such as childbirth (St Anne) and death (St Joseph) -To obtain specific graces (St Lucy for the recovery of eyesight). It openly acknowledges the positive anthropological, social and religious significance of a saint’s feast day, but it also cautions against it becoming an occasion of “ambiguous amusement leading to new forms of enslavement.” About relics, it asks that their authenticity should be ensured and urges that every temptation to multiply them or give them an importance that might lead to superstition be resisted. It allows that legends of their miracle-working powers can accrue to saints, but primary place, it says, must be given to their effective Christian witness and the manner in which their charism has enriched the Church.

Prayers of Devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus, for the salvation of souls, in reparation for blasphemy, the profanation of Sundays and Holy Days, and the malice of men (communism), will be taking place in the Church @ 3:00 pm every Sunday – indefinitely. Come when you can.

The Holy Face Novena starts on Sunday, Feb. 7th, and will be included in the 3:00 devotion (remainder of novena to be said on your own). We will also have an hour of reparation to the Holy Face after the 7:00 am Mass on Shrove Tuesday, February 16th. Images of the Holy Face, blessed Holy Face medals and chaplets, along with all pray-ers for the devotion will be provided. Call Marie @ 507-387-3000 with questions.

PHÚC ÂM: Mc 1, 21-28 "Ngài giảng dạy người ta như Đấng có uy quyền". Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Marcô. (Đến thành Capharnaum) ngày nghỉ lễ, Chúa Giêsu vào giảng dạy trong hội đường. Người ta kinh ngạc về giáo lý của Người, vì Người giảng dạy người ta như Đấng có uy quyền, chứ không như các luật sĩ. Đang lúc đó, trong hội đường có một người bị thần ô uế ám, nên thét lên rằng: "Hỡi ông Giêsu Nadarét, có chuyện gì giữa chúng tôi và ông? Ông đến để tiêu diệt chúng tôi sao? Tôi biết ông là ai, là Đấng Thánh của Thiên Chúa". Chúa Giêsu quát bảo nó rằng: "Hãy im đi và ra khỏi người này!" Thần ô uế liền dằn vặt người ấy, thét một tiếng lớn, rồi xuất khỏi người ấy. Mọi người kinh ngạc hỏi nhau rằng: "Cái gì vậy? Đấy là một giáo lý mới ư? Người dùng uy quyền mà truyền lệnh cho cả thần ô uế và chúng vâng lệnh Người". Danh tiếng Người liền đồn ra khắp mọi nơi, và lan tràn khắp vùng lân cận xứ Galilêa. Đó là lời Chúa.

Choose a Patron Saint for 2021

Saints show us how to live our daily lives like Je-sus. They are in Heaven with God and can pray for us. Why not have a new patron saint for each year? You can choose a patron saint by putting a num-ber of names of saints in a “hat” and selecting or, if you are adventuresome, you can have someone select for you – see www.saintsnamegenerator.com – random-ly. Before selecting your patron saint, ask the Lord to send you a saint who can guide and inspire you in 2021. After receiving your patron saint, read about their life, read what they wrote, talk to them, and ask them to pray for you. May 2021 be a saintly year for you!!

Evangelio Marcos (1,21-28): En aquel tiempo, Jesús y sus discípulos entraron en Cafarnaún, y cuando el sábado siguiente fue a la sinagoga a enseñar, se quedaron asombrados de su doctrina, porque no enseñaba como los escribas, sino con autoridad. Estaba precisamente en la sinagoga un hombre que tenía un espíritu inmundo, y se puso a gritar: «¿Qué quieres de nosotros, Jesús Nazareno? ¿Has venido a acabar con nosotros? Sé quién eres: el Santo de Dios.» Jesús lo increpó: «Cállate y sal de él.» El espíritu inmundo lo retorció y, dando un grito muy fuerte, salió. Todos se preguntaron estupefac-tos: «¿Qué es esto? Este enseñar con autoridad es nuevo. Hasta a los espíritus inmundos les manda y le obedecen.» Su fama se extendió en seguida por todas partes, alcanzando la comarca entera de Galilea.
