Reflection of Servant Sunday As a parish that values the gifts of its members, St. Charles Borromeo strives to be an engaged parish, where the parishioners know and use their God-given strengths, can be actively engaged in the life of the parish community, have their spiritual needs met, and grow spiritually. Jesus had a role for each of us to play in building up our parish and the Church. Jesus had given us unique gifts specifically so that we can be a part of His wonderful work. He continues to reach out to us and invite us to participate in His work. Here are some practical suggestions for participating in the Life of the Church: Attending Mass weekly and participating fully and prayerfully. Becoming actively involved in some ministry of the parish that touches our hearts. Participating in spiritual enrichment activities of the parish, such as Bible Study Groups, prayer groups, CRHP Retreats, etc. Sharing unique talents, job skills, or knowledge to help organize, manage and maintain our parish. Reaching out to help a fellow parishioner who may need support– our youth, our shut-ins, our sick, our grieving, new parishioners who come as strangers among us, those who are unemployed. Participating in the work of the parish through regular financial contributions. Reaching beyond our parish boundaries to help those who are hungry, homeless or lonely. Participating in the teaching and social justice work of the Church through Respect Life activities, Parish Unity Committee, or St. Vincent de Paul activities. Participating more actively in the celebration of the Mass by serving in the Choir, as a lector, Extraordinary Minister, greeter, gift bearer or usher. (continued next column) A Valentine Prayer I said a Valentine prayer for you and asked the Lord above to fill your heart and bless your soul With the precious gift of love. I asked Him for sincere love The kind that's meant to stay Just like the generous love You give to those you touch each day. I prayed for love from family And from every cherished friend Then I asked the Lord to give you His love that knows no end. Amen Joke of the Week After she woke up, a woman told her husband, "I just dreamed you gave me a diamond necklace for Valentine’s Day. What do you think it means?" "You’ll know tonight," he said. That evening the husband came home with a small package and gave it to his wife. Delighted, she opened it--to find a book entitled “The Meaning of Dreams.” Spread the Gospel, the Good News about Jesus and His Borromeo Family. A Holy Community through Holy Communion! Your brother in Jesus, Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 12, 2017 Servant Sunday, February 12, 2017 Pope Francis has captured the world’s attention with his infectious joy.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 12, 2017 Come Join Us! Woman’s CHRP Retreat – February 18 & 19, 2017 CHRP was a life changing event for me. I not only received a greater appreciation for the Bible and the Eucharist, I learned how God had helped so many CRHP Sisters in their lives. I also have met so many other ladies (all ages) that I may have never met, had it not been for CRHP. These CRHP Sisters took me under their wing and stormed Heaven with prayers for my family and for myself. Thanks to CRHP, I discovered my self worth and was able to make the decision to move away from my job and found out there was so much more to life. I have been a part of several CRHP Retreats and I am still growing in my faith, thanks to this Retreat. I’ll be more than happy to talk to anyone who has any questions about CRHP or anyone who wants to know more about my personal CRHP experi- Important Reminder for CRHP Dates in the Parish February 18/19, 2017- Women’s CRHP Weekend May 6/7, 2017 Men’s CRHP Weekend Give Yourself the gift of time, You deserve it.

Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 12, 2017 Liturgy of the Word for Children “At one point, children were brought to him so that he could place his hands on them in prayer. The disciples began to scold them, but Jesus said, ‘Let the children come to me. Do not hinder them. The kingdom of God belongs to such as these.’” (Ma hew 19: 13-14) Our Liturgy of the Word for Children program provides a means for children from Kindergarten age to grade three to know and come to Jesus. The program is designed to help children be er understand the readings and the Gospel each Sunday at Mass. The priest dismisses the children at the beginning of Mass to the catechist. The children and catechist proceed to the cafeteria where the children hear the readings, the Gospel, and an explana on in words that they understand. The children then return to Mass at a me when the interrup on of the congrega on can be minimized, for instance, during the collec on. There are many reasons that our Liturgy of the Word for Children program is so beneficial. An a empt is made to make the scriptures more comprehensible to children in this age range. Parents can listen more a en vely to the Liturgy of the Word. The children can be given explana ons of ways to live the Good News they just heard. The children become more a part of the Word, because they now be er understand the readings and the Gospel. The program allows the parish another opportunity for catechesis. Liturgy of the Word for Children is offered during the 8:30am Mass each Sunday during the school year. At the beginning of the Mass the leader of the children’s Liturgy of the Word processes with the children’s Lec onary next to the lector carrying the adult lec onary. This indicates that the children are celebra ng the Liturgy of the Word at that Mass. At Borromeo, we use Children’s Liturgy of the Word 20xx published by Liturgy Training Publica ons. The children very much enjoy the program. They par cipate freely and leave with an apparent understanding of the Gospel message. We are looking for teams of adult Ministers to serve as Leaders in this Ministry. Most of our teams have been leading this ministry for many years and it is always good to have subs tutes and new teams. Training will be provided – all we ask is you have a love of Scripture and a love of Children. If you are interested or would like to have more informa on, please contact Mrs. Katy Smith at 946-4144 or [email protected]. Peace to you!

Un sacerdote lo encontró y se ofreció a cruzarlo en su camioneta a Estados Unidos. El sacerdote le dijo que si regresaba a su tierra lo estaría esperando en Santa Ana de Guadalupe, un pequeño rancho cerca de Jalostotitlán, en la región de Los Altos de Jalisco, México. Con el tiempo, el joven regresó a México y fue en busca de su buen samaritano. Preguntando por él, la gente del pueblo lo llevó a una capilla donde se sorprendió al ver la foto de su bienhechor en la tumba de santo Toribio Romo. Muchos inmigrantes que relatan lo mismo acerca de un sacerdote o buen samaritano que rescata indocumentados en el desierto, alimentándolos, llevándolos a Estados Unidos, incluso, diciéndoles dónde encontrar trabajo. En 1928, Toribio Romo fue asesinado a la edad de 28 años durante "La Cristiana" (1926-1929). Este joven sacerdote murió a manos de un gobierno cruel que no sabia respetar los derechos humanos. Ahora como santo se dedica a ayudar a los pobres que sufren a causa de leyes inmigratorias que tampoco respetan los derechos humanos. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S.

Tal vez usted ha pecado contra la ley de Dios a través de la ira, lujuria, falta de honradez, chismes u otras malas acciones. Jesús nos recuerda en la con nuación de su sermón que la vida cris ana exige normas más estrictas. Es esencial tener en cuenta que nosotros podemos vivir estas normas para cooperar con la gracia de que Dios nos da en los sacramentos, especialmente la Eucaris a y la reconciliación. Los sacramentos nos dan gracia san ficante y nos traen a la vida cuando estamos muertos en nuestros pecados. Al acercarse al altar cada domingo, hagamos un examen de conciencia y busquemos la misericordia del Señor en el Sacramento de la reconciliación si somos culpables de pecado mortal. Debemos prestar atención a la sabiduría del Señor para buscar la perfección, escuchando su voz y responder a las gracias que nos concede. La Eucaris a y la reconciliación son dos extraordinarias bendiciones que tenemos como católicos! "La confesión es un acto de honesdad y valen a - un acto de confiar a nosotros mismos, más allá del pecado, a misericordia de un Dios amoroso y que perdona." ~ Papa San John Paul II archstl.org/dynamic Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 12, 2017 Around Town….
