Fr. Jim Murphy

As we celebrate the 3rd Sun-day in Ordinary Time, we contin-ue to make our way through this initial stretch of this season be-tween the celebrations of Christ-mas and the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday, February 14th. We begin our year-long reading of Mark’s Gospel today. Mark opens the curtain on Jesus’ public ministry in Galilee. Jesus begins his ministry by announcing the arrival of God’s kingdom to those who would listen. His first proc-lamation is clear and direct – “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gos-pel.” Once that announcement has been made, Jesus invites oth-ers to join him. He calls his first disciples, two sets of Jewish brothers – Simon and Andrew, and James and John. He begins among his own, and then extends the invitation to outsiders, to Gentiles. The pattern is set – he will invite all people, making no distinctions. Fortunately, that includes us!

In most circumstances, anni-versaries are normally happy and welcome celebrations. Not so

with tomorrow’s 45th anniversary of the US Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision permitting abor-tion on demand in our country. Since that decision on January 22, 1973, the national Center for Dis-ease Control and Prevention has estimated that approximately 59,138,650 legal abortions have taken place in our country. That statistic should provoke shame in us. Over fifty-nine million lives

have been taken through abor-tion. The new Appendix to the General Instruction of the Roman Missal states: “In all dioceses of the United States of America, January 22nd … shall be observed as a particular day of penance for violations to the dignity of the human person through acts of abortion and of prayer for the full restoration of the legal guarantee

of the right to life.” We are all invited to remember this intention and to make Monday a day of penance in reparation for all victims of the violence of abor-tion. Monday’s daily Masses will focus on this day of penance and witness to our belief that life is God’s gift to us and that all life is sacred – from conception through natural death.

We remember our parish 2nd grad-ers and their families in prayer this week as they celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. Ser-

vices will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons and on Saturday morning.

We are currently in the midst of the annual Week of Prayer for Christian Unity, which concludes on Thursday, January 25th, the feast of the Conversion of St. Paul. Since 1968 we have joined with other Christians throughout the world in praying as the Lord prayed, “that all may be one” (John 17:21). Throughout this week we keep the

Different first words today. The first words of Jesus in the gospel of Saint Mark are: “Time of fulfillment…kingdom of God…at hand…repent…believe in the gos-pel.” We will hear them again with the giving of ashes at the first start of Lent. We need to be reminded, don’t we?

What is this gospel, this Good News I choose to believe today?

How can I live both in this world and in the kingdom of God that is already begun?

How will my belief spill into action, into mercy work?

final resting place

We released our parish app last weekend. It is available for parishioners to download on both Apple and Android smartphones.

We expect the features and capabilities of our new app to foster a stronger sense of community and faith in the daily lives of all parishioners.

Other features include: ⦁ Daily readings read at Mass; ⦁ The latest Catholic news from around the world, as well as parish

events; ⦁ An easy-to-reference list of Catholic prayers with prayer requests; ⦁ A helpful examination of conscience and next confession reminder; ⦁ A reminder feature called “Mass Mode,” for Mass and confession,

which includes phone silencing notification to help encourage us all to be more present while at St. Isidore Parish; and much more.

As you’ll see, this app offers a lot of capabilities for improving parish communication and serving as a faith building resource. It is well thought out and should become a real asset to complement our daily faith lives. And it is available at no cost to our parish from our bulletin company, Diocesan Publications.

REMINDER: Hosts available for those with Gluten allergies: Come to the hospitality desk no later than 10 minutes before Satur-day night or Sunday mass, and let them know that you have a gluten allergy. That person will inform the mass captain, who will then make sure there are enough special hosts on the altar. Go into the presider’s line during communion and when it’s your turn let him know you need the special host-he’ll have them in a separate container.

Our readings on this Third Sunday in Ordinary Time remind us that we are each called by God to a particular purpose in life. In addition, we must guard against being too rooted, so that we can in-deed respond to the Lord as a disciple.

Note in today’s Gospel that the Lord says “I will make you fishers of men [and women].” He is speaking of a process, not an instantaneous hap-pening. Jesus called His Apostles to do what He did. It was their responsibility to share this with others, which is what occurred. Imagine that from that original calling there are now millions upon millions of potential disciples.

We are still called to do Jesus’ work. It began with two, then four, then twelve and has continued to grow through the centuries. Spreading the Good News is still part of what Jesus expects from each of us; it’s called Evangelization.

EL PRINCIPIO DE LOS PRIMEROS FRUTOSEL PRINCIPIO DE LOS PRIMEROS FRUTOSEL PRINCIPIO DE LOS PRIMEROS FRUTOS Los primeros frutos es una ofrenda basada en la fe. Fe sa-biendo que si le damos a Dios el primer fruto de nuestro tra-bajo fija el curso para que sus bendiciones se derramen sobre nosotros el resto del ano.

Fe en que Dios premia a los que buscan su corazón diligente-mente. Dios nos da la oportunidad de alinear nuestras finan-zas, nuestras carreras, nuestras vidas, y nuestras familias cuando seguimos este sorprendente principio de Dios. Cada área de nuestras vidas entra en alineación con la bendición y los propósitos de Dios para nuestras vidas durante todo el ano.

"Romanos 11:16 Y si el primer pedazo de masa es santo, también lo es toda la masa; y si la raíz es santa, también lo son las ramas”

los patrones y principios de Dios fueron establecidos mucho antes que el hombre haya tenido una revelación o visión de Dios. Son inmutables! Aprenda el principio de los primeros frutos y usted comenzará a ver una alineación perfecta de su destino y el de su familia con el plan y propósito de Dios.

La primera hora del dia... El primer día... La primera sema-na... El primer mes del año (Enero) = primeros frutos...

Una hora de pago... Un día de pago... Una semana de pago... Un mes de pago = primeros frutos.

THE PRINCIPLE OF THE FIRST FRUIT

OFFERING

The First Fruit Offering is based on faith: Faith in the fact that giving God the first sets the course for the blessings to be released on the rest….

Faith that God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. God gives us the opportunity to align our lives, our finances, our careers, our families when we follow God’s amazing principle, every area of our lives come into alignment and blessing for the whole year.

“ROMANS 11:16 If the part of the dough offered as first fruits is holy, then the whole batch is holy; if the root is holy, so are the branches.”

God’s patterns and principles were established long before man ever had a revelation or a vision. They are unchanging! Learn the Principle of First Fruits and you will begin to see a perfect alignment of your desti-ny with God’s plan and purpose.

The First Hour... The First Day.. The First Week… The First Month of the Year = First Fruits. One hour pay.. One day pay.. One week pay… One month pay = First Fruits.

cause of Christian unity before us in our community and personal prayer. It is good to remember that in spite of our differences, there is more that unites us rather than divides us.

Next Sunday, we begin our annual celebration of Catholic Schools Week. To help us begin the week, the Grade School choir will join with us at the 8.30am Mass and lead us in prayer. They will continue their celebra-tion of Catholic Schools Week throughout the week and especially at their regu-lar Wednesday School Mass at 8:15am.

We join with the rest of the parishes of our dioceses today in responding to the annual appeal for the Church in Latin America. This is one of eleven extra collections taken up over the course of the year for the support of the needs of the larger church commu-nity. It is an important way for Catholics in our country to express solidarity with our brothers and sisters to the south whose pastoral and material needs are great. In response to this appeal, we will tithe 5% of our Offertory collection to the appeal for the Church in Latin America.

Once we get past the holidays, January seems to be a very long month. It can seem even longer when the Bears end their season before the playoffs, as they did this year. Even though the days are gradually get-ting longer, the winter has had a few frigid moments. In a little over a week we begin the shortest month of the year. Can spring be too far off?

May God continue to bless us with all that we need, and more.
