ST. VINCENT de PAUL
In the Gospel today, Jesus asks “What are you looking for?”
Often we are looking for happiness in very selfish ways, but
we find that when we look for ways to make others happy, it
is then that we truly become happy.
As you place your gift in the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
poor box, know that you are a sign of God’s love to those
who are suffering and you give them reason to believe and
to trust.
Jesus, you turned and asked the disciples, “What are you
looking for?” St. Mary Vincentians heard your call to be a
disciple and followed you. We thank you for the call of St.
Mary Vincentians, may they be a reflection of the whole
family of God. You call us to be united in a spirit of poverty,
humility and sharing, may we be nourished by prayer and
reflection. Amen

“The love that brings new life into the world”
– Rabbi Sacks on the institution of marriage
I want this morning to begin our conversation by one way of telling the story of the most beautiful idea in the
history of civilization: the idea of the love that brings new life into the world. There are of course many ways
of telling the story, and this is just one. But to me it is a story of seven key moments, each of them surprising
and unexpected...
The first, according to a report in the press on 20th October of this year, took place in a lake in Scotland 385
million years ago. It was then, according to this new discovery, that two fish came together to perform the
first instance of sexual reproduction known to science. Until then all life had propagated itself asexually, by
cell division, budding, fragmentation or parthenogenesis, all of which are far simpler and more economical
than the division of life into male and female, each with a different role in creating and sustaining life.
When we consider, even in the animal kingdom, how much effort and energy the coming together of male
and female takes, in terms of displays, courtship rituals, rivalries and violence, it is astonishing that sexual
reproduction ever happened at all. Biologists are still not quite sure why it did. Some say to offer protection
against parasites, or immunities against disease. Others say it’s simply that the meeting of opposites
generates diversity. But one way or another, the fish in Scotland discovered something new and beautiful
that’s been copied ever since by virtually all advanced forms of life. Life begins when male and female meet
and embrace.
The second unexpected development was the unique challenge posed to Homo sapiens by two factors: we
stood upright, which constricted the female pelvis, and we had bigger brains – a 300 per cent increase –
which meant larger heads. The result was that human babies had to be born more prematurely than any other
species, and so needed parental protection for much longer. This made parenting more demanding among
humans than any other species, the work of two people rather than one.
Hence the very rare phenomenon among mammals, of pair bonding, unlike other species where the male
contribution tends to end with the act of impregnation. Among most primates, fathers don’t even recognize
their children let alone care for them. Elsewhere in the animal kingdom motherhood is almost universal but
fatherhood is rare. So what emerged along with the human person was the union of the biological mother and
father to care for their child. Thus far nature, but then came culture, and the third surprise.
It seems that among hunter gatherers, pair bonding was the norm. Then came agriculture, and economic
surplus, and cities and civilization, and for the first time sharp inequalities began to emerge between rich and
poor, powerful and powerless. The great ziggurats of Mesopotamia and pyramids of ancient Egypt, with their
broad base and narrow top, were monumental statements in stone of a hierarchical society in which the few
had power over the many. And the most obvious expression of power among alpha males whether human or
primate, is to dominate access to fertile women and thus maximize the handing on of your genes to the next
generation. Hence polygamy, which exists in 95 per cent of mammal species and 75 per cent of cultures
known to anthropology. Polygamy is the ultimate expression of inequality because it means that many males
never get the chance to have a wife and child. And sexual envy has been, throughout history, among animals
as well as humans, a prime driver of violence.

SCRIPTURE OF THE WEEK
We encourage everyone to continue reading the Acts of the
Apostles this week …
ACTS OF THE APOSTLES – CHAPTER 19 PART 2
The Jewish Exorcists. Then some itinerant Jewish exorcists
tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those with
evil spirits, saying, “I adjure you by the Jesus whom Paul
preaches.” When the seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish high
priest, tried to do this, the evil spirit said to them in reply,
“Jesus I recognize, Paul I know, but who are you?” The
person with the evil spirit then sprang at them and subdued
them all. He so overpowered them that they fled naked and
wounded from that house. When this became known to all
the Jews and Greeks who lived in Ephesus, fear fell upon
them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in great
esteem. Many of those who had become believers came
forward and openly acknowledged their former practices.
Moreover, a large number of those who had practiced magic
collected their books and burned them in public. They
calculated their value and found it to be fifty thousand silver
pieces. Thus did the word of the Lord continue to spread
with influence and power.
PILGRIMMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND IN 2015
From November 13-22, 2015, we will travel to the Holy

JAMES OF COMPOSTELA IN 2015

Lourdes and St. James of Compostela from July 14-24,

SAINT JUDE SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE

ATTACKS ON GOD
Policemen murdered in front of Catholic church in Egypt
Two policemen who were assigned the task of guarding a
Coptic Catholic parish in Egypt were shot to death on
January 6. The incident took place in Minya, a largely
Christian city of 250,000 in central Egypt. The head of
regional security forces said that a terrorist group was
responsible for the attack.
Q & A – LITURGY & SACRAMENTS
We continue with our “Question & Answer” series about
Liturgy and the Sacraments. The text is taken from the
Compendium of the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
 What is the relationship between the sacraments and
faith?
The sacraments not only presuppose faith but with words
and ritual elements they nourish, strengthen, and express it.
By celebrating the sacraments, the Church professes the
faith that comes from the apostles. This explains the origin
of the ancient saying, “lex orandi, lex credendi,” that is, the
Church believes as she prays.
ST. PAUL’S CHOIR SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE
Prospective families and students are invited to the Choir
School’s Open House on Sunday, January 25 at 12:30 p.m.

Queridos hermanos en Cristo:
La familia es la célula base de la sociedad y la iglesia
doméstica. Hoy hay muchos problemas que los padres de
familia deben encarar para mantenerse y para educar a los
hijos. Uno de los más apremiantes es la economía que obliga
a los padres, a los dos, a trabajar. Algunos padres no tienen
el tiempo para educar y estar con sus hijos como a ellos les
gustaría.
Con mucha frecuencia llegan personas a pedir que oremos
para que consigan trabajo y ustedes saben que siempre le
pedimos a Dios que nunca nos falte casa, vestido y sustento.
Me gustaría pedirles que si alguien sabe de algún lugar
donde necesiten personas para trabajar, me avisen para poder
ayudar a personas recién llegadas o que necesiten un trabajo
urgentemente. Hay que orar siempre y también hacer lo que
de nosotros dependa para ayudar a nuestros hermanos en
nuestra comunidad.
- Padre Agustín
