Parish Offering Program

As we begin our Planned Parish Offering Program we are asked to reflect on God’s blessings in
our lives and also to commit to share these financial blessings as a way to express our love for God
and for others.

Our Planned Parish Offering Program is one very important way to express our self-giving for the
good of others and for God’s greater glory. This week, each registered household will receive a
summary letter and Declaration of Intention Card. This program will conclude next two weekends
with Commitment Sunday. Please pray about this and return your intention card in next Sunday’s
offertory collection.

Your donation aids the parish in forecasting revenue for the next year. Reflect on your spending
priorities, consider where your parish is currently placed within them, and consider making a
planned, proportionate and sacrificial gift to our offertory program. Please respond lovingly and
generously, as you are able, giving from your first fruits in gratitude to God.

Reflecting on This Week’s Readings

Jeremiah declares that his call from God was prophetic in nature. His vocation was his destiny even before he was born. His entire
identity took shape within him even as he was knit together in his mother’s womb. Jeremiah is told to get ready to proclaim the word
of the LORD. This was not going to be an easy task, but God will fortify him as one would fortify a city. The passage ends with words
of encouragement. His adversaries will not prevail against the prophet, because the LORD will be with him. There is no promise here
of deliverance from the onslaughts. The promise is that Jeremiah will not be crushed by them.

The responsorial psalm opens with a plea for deliverance from distress: protect me; save me from shame; rescue me; hear me. This
is followed by a prayer of confidence in God. Different kinds of rock are used to characterize the trustworthiness of God. The psalm
ends with a promise to make known the wonders that God has wrought. The psalmist trusted God even while in the womb. As the
psalmist had called on the righteousness of God at the beginning of the prayer (v.2), so that same righteousness is proclaimed at the
end. It is the righteousness of God that is the basis of the psalmist’s confidence.

Paul’s praise of love is one of the best known biblical passages. In the reading for last Sunday, Paul insisted that all the gifts that the
Spirit bestowed upon individuals functioned for the up-building of the community. Today he concentrates on love, the “more excellent
way,” the greatest of all spiritual gifts. As beneficial as all the spiritual gifts may be, without love they are nothing. They are useful
now, while we are still in this world. However, at the end of this world, their usefulness will come to an end and they will cease to be.
Love, on the other hand, will never cease to be.

The Scripture to which Jesus refers announced the eschatological age of fulfillment. It provides a glimpse into the kind of messiah
that Jesus will be, namely one who will refashion society for the sake of the oppressed. The response of those in the synagogue who
heard Jesus is curious. At first they speak highly of him and are amazed at his words, but later in the episode they drive him out of
the city to the brow of a hill to hurl him down. Jesus is not accepted by his people because he preaches that he has come not merely
for this people, but for any who will open themselves to his teaching. This response gives us a second insight into the kind of messiah
Jesus will be. Not only will he fulfill the role of the prophet who announces the advent of the age of fulfillment, but he will also be re-
jected, as were the other prophets. Dianne Bergant CSA

Did You Know...
On January 22, Sony released the fantasy Apocalypse
thriller Legion in theaters nationwide. It is a Film that
Mocks the Faith and Leads to Despair And it challenges
God in these 5 important points:
1. Everything is upside down: St. Michael the Archangel
is the rebel angel
2. God has lost faith in men! The world is lost!
3. Blasphemous absurdity: St. Michael/Rebel Angel/
Satan comes to save a waitress pregnant with the ...
"Messias"
4. Insult to Our Lady's purity: actress says Virgin Mary is
not a virgin
5. Religion is "crazy." The most fundamental truths of
our Faith, such as God's justice, mercy, his infinite
perfection and the Incarnation of the Word are shown
in a crazy light.
Serious Catholics see how this is NOT only a movie; not
just mere entertainment. Those who love Our Lord and
Our Lady perceive how blasphemy has always made
great strides through films, novels and theater.
That's why we Catholics need to stand up and be
counted. We must show Sony that we reject Legion be-
cause it is blasphemous and insults Our Lady and Our
Lord.
Moreover, we must not forget that Sony also launched the
blasphemous, unsuccessful Da Vinci Code movie in
2006, which mocked the Divine Person of Our Lord Jesus
Christ.

Celebrate Catholic School’s Week!
Washington, DC—“Catholic Schools - Dividends for Life” is the
theme selected for Catholic Schools Week 2010. Catholic
Schools Week is the annual celebration that focuses attention
on the good work done by the nation’s Catholic schools. The
week will be observed Jan. 31 to Feb. 6, 2010.
Catholic Schools Week is a joint project of the National Catholic
Educational Association (NCEA) and the United States Confer-
ence of Catholic Bishops (USCCB).
According to Karen Ristau, NCEA president, “Catholic schools
provide good things for students and families—high expecta-
tions and daily experience of faith. In these challenging times,
the theme also reminds parents that the dividends of a Catholic
school education—students prepared in faith, knowledge, mor-
als and discipline—last a lifetime. There is no better way to in-
vest in a child’s future—or the future of our world.”
Marie Powell, executive director of the Secretariat of Catholic
Education of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops,
noted: “We realize that in most parts of the country a Catholic
education is not without some cost. But I can't think of a better
investment in the future than to invest in the education of a
child.”
The logo designed for the week features a cross superimposed
on an outstretched hand. Rays coming from behind the hand
express the concepts of faith, knowledge, morals and disci-
pline—all beneficial aspects of a Catholic education. The theme
“Catholic Schools" runs across the top of the art and "Dividends
for Life” runs across the bottom of the art.
As part of Catholic Schools Week, National Appreciation Day
For Catholic Schools will be observed Wednesday, Feb. 3. Na-
tional Appreciation Day was established to encourage support-
ers nationwide to showcase to elected officials the great accom-
plishments and contributions of Catholic schools. In Washington,
a delegation of Catholic school students, teachers and parents
will visit Capitol Hill to meet with congressional leaders to pro-
mote Catholic schools.
Schools in other parts of the country are encouraged to carry
their message of good news to local and state officials.

Catechesis Tradendae
Catechesis in Our Time
By Pope John Paul II
P68. The family's catechetical activity has a special charac-
ter, which is in a sense irreplaceable. This special character
has been rightly stressed by the Church, particularly by the
Second Vatican Council. Education in the faith by parents,
which should begin from the children's tenderest age, is al-
ready being given when the members of a family help each
other to grow in faith through the witness of their Christian
lives, a witness that is often without words but which perse-
veres throughout a day-to-day life lived in accordance with
the Gospel. This catechesis is more incisive when, in the
course of family events (such as the reception of the sacra-
ments, the celebration of great liturgical feasts, the birth of a
child, a bereavement) care is taken to explain in the home
the Christian or religious content of these events. But that is
not enough: Christian parents must strive to follow and re-
peat, within the setting of family life, the more methodical
teaching received elsewhere.

The fact that these truths about the main questions of

faith and Christian living are thus repeated within a fam-
ily setting impregnated with love and respect will often
make it possible to influence the children in a decisive
way for life. The parents themselves profit from the effort
that this demands of them, for in a catechetical dialogue
of this sort each individual both receives and gives.
Family catechesis, therefore, precedes, accompanies,
and enriches all other forms of catechesis.

Furthermore, in places where anti-religious legislation en-

deavors even to prevent education in the faith, and in places
where widespread unbelief or invasive secularism makes
real religious growth practically impossible, "the church of the
home" remains the one place where children and young peo-
ple can receive an authentic catechesis. Thus there cannot
be too great an effort on the part of Christian parents to pre-
pare for this ministry of being their own children's catechists
and to carry it out with tireless zeal.
Encouragement must also be given to the individuals or
institutions that, through person-to-person contacts,
through meetings, and through all kinds of pedagogical
means, help parents to perform their task: the service
they are doing to catechesis is beyond price.
At Christ The King Parish we are working to strive for fulfill-
ment of Pope John Paul II writings. The parish is making
family catechesis, (religious education) for both the school
and parish families a top priority. We are implementing more
learning opportunities both service and social to engage all of
the parish families. If you would like to become more in-
volved with family faith formation for the upcoming year 2008
-2009, please contact Eileen at 630-396-6076.

Voter Information 24-Hour Eucharistic Adoration

On November 14, 2007 the United States Conference of
Catholic Bishops issued an excellent document on the
Christian responsibility regarding elections. They empha-
sized the necessity of voting with an informed conscience.
You can access it at www.usccb.org under Church Docu-
ments. Paragraph 28 states the following: “The direct and
intentional destruction of innocent human life from the
moment of conception until natural death is always wrong
and is not just one issue among many. It must always be
opposed.”
