5th Sunday in Ordinary Time: February 9th�

That we let our light shine before others and be a bold

witness of our faith! “Let your light shine before others,

that they may see your good works and give glory to your

Father who is in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 �

The generosity of being a good steward of your gifts has

a positive effect on people and it is contagious! Good

works encourage more good works. Let your light shine!

Be careful to recognize that God is working through you

and don’t put yourself above the people you have been

called to help. �

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the

February 2, 2020 Stewardship Report is not

available this week. It will be reported in the

February 16, 2020 bulletin.�

La Salette Reflections�

Fr. Rene Butler, M.S�

Weakness and Power �

(5

th

Ordinary Sunday: Isaiah 58:7�10; 1 Corinthians 2:1�5;

Matthew 5:13�16)�

In many cultures, people prefer to shed tears in private

than where others can see them. Perhaps this is

because tears are sometimes seen as a sign of

weakness. From that point of view, Our Lady could

say, with St. Paul, “I came to you in weakness.”�

In fact, much of what St. Paul says in today’s second

reading could be said of Mary at La Salette. This is

especially true of her wearing the crucifix: “I resolved to

know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ,

and him crucified.”�

We have often noted that, according to Maximin and

Mélanie, the light of the Apparition emanated from that

crucifix. In John 8:12 Jesus says of himself, “I am the

light of the world.”�

In this week’s Gospel, he reminds us that we, too, are

the light of the world. He also describes us as salt of

the earth.�

It is hard for us to imagine tasteless salt. The

Beautiful� Lady talks about blighted wheat, literally, but

the image could apply figuratively to her people. When

put to the test, what was their faith? It crumbled, like

the ears of wheat.�

St. Paul also states, “I did not come with sublimity of

words or of wisdom,” and “My message and my

proclamation were not with persuasive words of

wisdom, but with a demonstration of Spirit and power.”

At La Salette, Mary went so far as to speak the patois,

the local dialect, typically associated with uneducated

rural classes, in contrast with the�French that she used

at the beginning. And she spoke of things that her

people could understand.�

Coming in weakness is not the same as being

powerless. It means that the power that we might show

is not ours, but comes from God. Mary’s simple words

had power, which she communicated to the children,

empowering them to make her message known.�

How bright our light could shine, quoting Isaiah now, “If

you remove from your midst oppression, false

accusation and malicious speech; if you bestow your

bread on the hungry and satisfy the afflicted.” �

All this and more we may be empowered to do, but,

always remember, the glory is God’s.�

~Fr. René Butler, M.S., and Wayne Vanasse�

When children ask, �

“Why do we have to go to Mass?”�

�� We need to talk to God. When we go to Mass, we

speak to God through our singing, our communal re-

sponses and prayers, and our personal prayers from

the depths of our hearts. �

�� People need our prayers. We can pray for other

people anytime, but when we pray for others during

Mass, we pray in a special way. �

�� We need to stand up for what we believe. Being a

follower of Jesus is counter�cultural. At every Mass,

we have the opportunity to stand up and proclaim

what we believe publicly. �

�� We need to acknowledge that we make mistakes.

At every Mass, we have the opportunity to review the

past week. We admit that we have sinned…..ask for-

giveness and we are assured that God still loves us. �

Taken from “Why do we have to go to Mass?” �

Lenten Alms Giving Charity is a frequent and

important theme of the Gospels. As individual members

of Mary Queen, each of us is called to focus more

closely on almsgiving during Lent. Almsgiving is the

outward action of donating money or goods to the poor

as a reflection of your love for Jesus. This year during

Lent we are asking every person/family to donate the

following items to our Food Pantry. When you come to

Mass each weekend please place the items in the Food

Pantry Donation Box located in the church narthex.�

It is better to give alms than to store up gold; for

almsgiving saves one from death and expiates every sin.

Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life" (Tob

12:8 9). �
