GOOD NEWS
Capernaum, hometown of Simon
and Andrew, became Jesus’ home
base too. On the Sabbath, he went
out to the synagogue to teach with
authority over physical and spiritual
evils. He dramatically cast out devils,
curing Simon’s mother-in-law and
healing many other sick people. Jesus
went about the messianic work. That
labor came to fruition as he cast out
death itself in his passover to resurrection. Bolstered by prayer, Jesus
single-mindedly set out to spread the
good news. How do we join him?

St. Andrew Announcements - Feb. 1, 2015
PRESENTATION OF THE LORD
This feast of Our Lord on February second used to be the
feast of the Purification of Mary. It is also called “Candlemas
Day,” because part of the ritual for this day is the blessing
of candles. People can be invited to bring candles from their
homes to be blessed. Some parishes hand out blessed candles
at the end of the day’s liturgies. Blessed candles from today’s
feast are used for the blessing of throats on the next day, the
feast of St. Blaise. The feast has traditionally involved processions and candles. The feast recalls the Jewish rite of an infant’s presentation forty days after birth. Blessing candles has
always been a traditional way of remembering Jesus—Light
of the World— as well as the call to ourselves to be light
for one another. Traditionally, all the candles used for the
coming year are blessed as we remember the story of Jesus
being presented by his parents at the Temple of Jerusalem.
In words used as a canticle of praise in the evening prayer of
the church, the prophet Simeon foretold about the Child: “A
light of revelation to the Gentile world, and the glory of his
people, Israel.” Once again, the church celebrates a basic gift,
the gift of light, a gift that we take for granted, and it gives it
new meaning. Besides the light that we share in our homes
and work, we can be reminded that Jesus is the Light of the
World.
LAY PREACHING
by Paul Turner
A homily is a sermon preached by a deacon or a priest, but
there are occasions when a lay person preaches. Most commonly these are celebrations outside of Mass. For example,
some communities do not have a priest available to them
every Sunday. They may gather without a priest under the
liturgical leadership of a lay person. That person may read
a homily prepared by the priest, or offer a reflection on the
readings. By definition, this reflection is “preaching”, though
not a “homily”.
At Masses with children, a lay person may occasionally
preach. “With the consent of the pastor or rector of the
church, one of the adults may speak to the children after the
gospel, especially if the priest finds it difficult to adapt himself to the mentality of children.” (Directory for Masses with
Children 24).
In some churches the pastor has invited a lay person to
speak about the financial needs of the parish or the diocese.
Non-ordained missionaries have also made appeals. Sometimes these talks are as inspiring as a homily, but they do not
qualify as the same thing. Some churches have these talks
during homily time, but if some instruction or testimony by a
lay person is to be given, the homily comes at its normal time,
and the lay person speaks following the prayer after communion (Redemptionis Sacramentum 74.)
In places where priests and deacons visit so rarely that a lay
person must be appointed for baptisms, the Rite of Baptism
for Children permits that person to preach on that occasion
(137).
In these various ways, the church invites the spirit-filled reflection of the laity to nurture the People of God.

ON SUNDAY MORNING. See Michael Prendergast to
volunteer for this important service.
THINGS TO DO & PLACES TO GO
We All Have Faces: Hope & Human
Dignity in the Holy Land
Most Americans are fairly familiar with the dominant
Jewish narrative about Israel, but relatively few know the
Palestinian narrative. A six-week Lenten program, “We All
Have Faces: Hope and Human Dignity in the Holy Land,”
will offer an opportunity to learn about another side to the
ongoing conflict in the Holy Land. Join us as we journey
with Jesus, remembering the last days of his life on this
land now torn by conflict. Following in his footsteps, we
will look at the lives of the people now living in the Holy
Land. Incorporating a contemplative, non-dualistic attitude and practices, we will look at such issues as the illegal
occupation of Palestinian lands, the ongoing human rights
violations, and the roots of the continuing violence. The
program will be offered at the Urban Spirituality Center
Sunday afternoons beginning February 22, from 2 to 4
p.m. Due to limited space, pre-registration is required.
Please call Maureen at 971-645-8950 for more information
and to register for the program.
The Grotto’s 11th Annual Crabfest
Saturday, Feb. 28, 5 p.m.
The Grotto Conference Center
$60 per person
Price includes the all-you-caneat buffet, dessert and your first
alcoholic beverage (beer/wine). All
other beverages are complimentary
and additional alcoholic beverages
will be available for purchase.
“Wake Up the World!” Open House
As part of the “Year of Consecrated Life,” the Sisters of
St. Mary of Oregon will host an open house on Sunday,
Feb. 8 from 2-4 p.m.
Each day, as thousands of people pass through the intersection of Murray Blvd. and TV Highway in Beaverton,
they see a historic building with a majestic dome and wonder about the lives of the women who call that building
their home. On Sunday, Feb. 8, they can find out.
The Sisters invite guests to see their home and to learn
about religious life in general. A tour will include the “Our
Lady of Perpetual Help” Chapel, where Sisters pray and
worship together. It will also showcase the Sisters’ domestic life and private living quarters. The open house will
be an opportunity for guests to talk to the Sisters and ask
questions about their lives of prayer and service. Guests
should allow at least 20-30 minutes for their visits.
REMINDER
Please bring nonperishable food, diapers, and toiletry items
and drop them in the St. Vincent de
Paul barrels in the entryway of the
church each Sunday. You may also
bring one item and place it in the
basket as the gifts are collected.

“In my weakness is my strength,” Paul writes (2 Cor.
12:10). I never understood that passage nor did I like it
until, struck with polio as a young woman, I began little by
little to realize that if I ever walked again, it would not be
thanks to me, it would be thanks to everyone around me
who formed the human chain that kept me human. When
I could not move, they carried me. When I could not work,
they found functions for me that justified my existence.
When I could not find a reason for going on, they liked
me enough to give me back a sense of human connectedness. When I could not cure
myself, they cured me of the clay of my limits and turned them into life again. They
taught me the glories of weakness.
When I most wanted to be strong and like no other time in life found myself
defined by my weaknesses, I began to understand the great questions of life. If I do
not need other people, what is their own purpose in life, what is their claim on my
own gifts when they need me as I have needed them? The moment I come to realize
that it is precisely the gifts which I do not myself embody that make me claimant to
the gifts of others—and they of mine—marks the moment of my spiritual beginning. Suddenly, creature-hood becomes gift and power and the beginning of unlimited personal growth.
–from In Search of Belief by Joan Chittister, OSB
