Some foods can stay fresh well past their “expiration” dates. A Tuesday:
2013 report from Harvard Law School and the Natural Resources
Defense Council states confusion over food dating has led 91 Wednesday:
percent of Americans to throw away food prematurely.
EGGS: Pay no attention to the SELL BY date on our carton-it’s Thursday:
meant to help retailers manage turnover and isn’t a measure of
freshness. Eggs should keep for three to five weeks in the
refrigerator.
Friday:
CEREAL: Boxes typically come printed with a BEST BEFORE
date, but it’s a conservative estimate set by manufactures for peak
quality. Boxed cereal can stay fresh for up to three months if you Saturday:
refold the inner bag tightly.
APPLES: Store your favorite apples in the fridge in a plastic bag
with a few holes in it for air circulation. They should keep for three weeks.
DELI MEAT: You can keep unopened packages of sandwich meat in your fridge for two weeks-even if the SELL BY
date has come and gone.
BREAD: Ignore the BEST BY OR SELL BY date. Placing your loaf in the fridge can extend freshness by two weeks.

Stewardship
“The seventy-two returned rejoicing, and said, ‘Lord,
even the demons are subject to us because of your
name.’ Jesus said, ‘I have observed Satan fall like
lightning from the sky. Behold, I have given you the
power to “tread upon serpents” and scorpions and
upon the full force of the enemy and nothing will harm
you. Nevertheless, do not rejoice because the spirits
are subject to you, but rejoice because your names are
written in heaven.’”
Luke 10: 17-20
Dear St. Sabina Parish,
It is odd for me to think that I have to move already to
another assignment, but I know that this is the life of the
priesthood of Jesus Christ. I wanted to share my sincere
gratitude to you all one last time for this past year, my
first year as a priest, being such a good one. I know I
was rusty when I first started, but I believe I matured as
the year progressed. Thank you to those who have
prayed for me and continue to pray for me as I make my
first transition into my new parish. Every parish has a
different personality, so I know that I will have to adjust
to this new personality. I'm sorry that Fr. Jeff will have to
do more work since no replacement is coming in to St.
Sabina, so please pray for him as he resumes the full
life of the parish at St. Sabina. I can sincerely say that
St. Sabina is a good parish to have started the
priesthood at. I will miss the parish and the parishioners.
May God bless you all, keep you close to His most
Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of our Mother
Mary. Godspeed. Fr. Curt Vogel
The Lord is reliant upon us, on each and every one of
us, to serve as laborers in His vineyard. There are
incredible needs among humankind. Each of us
probably realizes that but part of our frustration is
viewing ourselves as such a small contributor to helping
the Lord. Note that all those He sent returned, and they
returned with joy and a great sense of satisfaction.
They learned that when they did what Jesus told them
to do, they could anticipate blessings beyond their
expectations. They also reported to Jesus that they
were successful “in your name.” That is what will make Thank You! A special thank you to the Ladies Auxiliary
us successful as well, keeping our focus on working for for hosting the good-bye receptions for Fr. Curt last
the Lord and in the Lord’s name. That is the nature of weekend. Thank you to all of the parishioners who

Reflection on the Readings
As we continue delving into the mystery of the paschal
journey with Jesus, the refrain from Psalm 66 clues us
into the theme running through this Sunday’s readings:
“Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.” Joy in the
Lord, for all that the Lord has done and will continue to
do as we travel the road of discipleship, is what we
heartily proclaim this Sunday. The psalmist recalls
God’s loving care for the people during the Exodus and
knows that God’s love manifested in past events will
and does continue to be made real in our daily lives,
here and now. The Lord’s power has done wonders for
all the people and we shout with joy, as we experience
the Lord present and active in our lives.
true joy ultimately comes not from defeating Satan but
from intimate union with God expressed in the image of
“your names are written in heaven.” This is the ultimate
joy that we celebrate today.
No matter what happens, we are to rejoice in the fact
that in Jesus, God has chosen to be with us, and we are
to proclaim that from the rooftops. Rejection, conflict,
oppression will not win out, for the kingdom of God is at
hand, and always will be. This joy is meant for all,
symbolized in the number seventy-two, a number
inclusive of all the nations of the world as referenced in
chapter 10 of Genesis. We too, in fidelity to our journey
as disciples, are called to be inclusive of all, proclaiming
The first reading comes from the last chapter of Isaiah. God’s joyful reign and loving concern for all.
The rich images of life, abundance, continued vitality
and nourishment suffuse this text. From the lifelessness Paul adds a final note to this aspect of joy. That note
and death of the Babylonian exile God has transformed centers on the cross. His boast and his joy is in the
Jerusalem into an overflowing nourishing mother who cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Even when we
never ceases to be attuned to the needs of her children. experience the marks of Jesus on our own bodies
Isaiah’s joy in God overflows as he images Jerusalem through the rejections and opposition of others, still our
as a nursing mother who is ever ready to comfort and response is one of joy. We are assured that no matter
give delight to her children. Life teems all around and what happens, God will continue to be our source of life,
within Jerusalem, symbol of God’s people, and of God’s abundance, vitality and joy. So indeed we too can boast
presence with the people. Isaiah goes even further in in the cross. That life of sacrifice, of care and concern

Reflexión Sobre las Lecturas
Mientras
continuamos
escarbando en
el misterio del
camino
pascual
con
Jesús,
el
estribillo
del
Salmo 66 nos
da pistas sobre
el tema recurrente en las lecturas de
este Domingo: "Aclamen al Señor,
tierra entera." La alegría en el
Señor, por todo lo que el Señor ha
hecho y seguirá haciendo mientras
que viajamos el camino del
discipulado, es lo que proclamamos
con ganas este Domingo. El
salmista
recuerda
la
guarda
amorosa de Dios por el pueblo
durante el Éxodo y sabe que el
amor de Dios manifestado en
eventos pasados continua a ser
hecho real en nuestra vida
cotidiana, aquí y ahora. El poder del
Señor ha hecho maravillas por todas
las personas y gritamos de alegría,
mientras experimentamos al Señor
presente y activo en nuestras vidas.
La primera lectura proviene del
último capítulo de Isaías. Las
imágenes ricas de la vida, la
abundancia, la continua vitalidad y
nutrición impregna este texto. De la
falta de vida y la muerte del exilio de
Babilonia Dios ha transformado a
Jerusalén en una madre nutritiva
que no deja de estar en sintonía con
las necesidades de sus hijos. La
alegría de Isaías en Dios se
desborda como él capta el imagen
de Jerusalén como la madre nodriza
que está siempre lista para confortar
y deleitar a sus hijos. La vida pulula
todo alrededor y adentro de
Jerusalén, símbolo del pueblo de
Dios, y de la presencia de Dios con
el pueblo. Isaías va aún más lejos
en captar el imagen de Dios: "como
un hijo a quien su madre consuela,
así los consolaré yo." Todo
contenido en esta lectura nos hace
