A VISIBLE GOD We find it difficult to convey ideas to people unless we can actually show them something, demonstrate what we mean. God, who is invisi-ble and truly beyond human understanding, ap-parently faces the same difficulty. People want to see, not just listen to an idea. So God gave us Jesus Christ, God made visible in the world. During these past weeks we have seen how Jesus was revealed as an infant to the shepherds and the magi, and then began his adult “public life” at his baptism by John. Today’s Gospel reading tells us of his “first sign,” providing wine for the wedding guests at Cana. Of course, even Jesus, God made visible, was not always easily understood in his own day, nor is he even now. So we have to ponder what we see: the poverty and simplicity of his birth, his humility and openness before John the Baptist, his kindness and compassion toward people in their ordinary problems, such as run-ning short of wine at a wedding. Yet it is in coming to know Jesus that we come to know God. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SHARING A FEAST
In many communities, the way people show love, respect, and compassion is by sharing food and drink. Certainly, Jesus did that during the wedding at Cana. We believe that Jesus’ love for us is most fully expressed when he feeds us in the Eucharist. Jeannie, a nurse, offered to serve on a Catholic medical mission team in a remote village in Haiti. For two weeks the volunteers worked long hours with lim-ited supplies in a makeshift clinic serving hundreds of people with medical problems. As the clinic closed, the local people invited the team to a feast, Jeannie won-dered what these impoverished people would serve. She sat down to sweet potatoes, fried goat with plantains, bread, beans and rice, and a special pineapple drink. Jeannie asked the local priest, “How could they do all these?” He replied, “God sent you, with healing. This is our way of thanking God! Each gave a little so we could all share a lot.” It tasted so good that everyone ate until it was all gone. Jeannie left with profound respect for the people who “have nothing: but shared so much.

ADULT FAITH FORMATION
Baptized Catholics over the age of 18, but have not celebrated the Sacraments of Confirmation and/or Eu-charist are welcome to participate in the process by reg-istering in St. Mary’s Parish Office starting January 14, 2019. Classes will begin on Sunday, February 10, 2019 @ 10:00am in Ortmann Center, Room 23, and will con-tinue until April 28, 2019.
WELCOME & COMMITMENT SERVICE
This week we pray for our candidates for the sacrament of Confirmation as they celebrate the Welcome and Commitment Service during the 11:30am Mass. This is the beginning of their formal journey toward a fuller life in the Holy Spirit. We pray for the strengthening of the relationship between the candidates and the Holy Spirit throughout their journey toward the sacrament of Con-firmation.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
The cause of church unity is commended to Chris-tians for prayer and action every year around this time. This week is not so much to focus on the many divi-sions within the Christian family, but on bonds of faith and mission. Even though Christians have always shown an inclination to fracture, spin off, and mutate into new expressions, recent history shows some new points of convergence and agreement. Catholics are more firmly rooted in the word of God, for example, and many Protestants are more likely to celebrate Com-munion than in years past. Some denominations are merging and pooling resources, and people from vari-ous traditions are collaborating on projects. The call of this week is to be mindful of the diversi-ty of our traditions and customs while treasuring what we hold in common. The old advice to “lighten up” is good medicine, because sometimes our differences are delightful and amusing. If someone says, “Let us pray,” a Catholic might close the eyes, bow the head and fold hands; a Protestant reach out and clasp hands with the person in the next chair; and someone belonging to an Orthodox tradition might stand up with eyes wide open. Each has taken a different path, but the goal is always the same. This is a week not for focusing on the well worn paths of divergence, but for mutual delight in a common goal. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
