SMALL FAITH GROUP WITNESS
(reference of “Comfort Zone” by Jim DeVito is in the bulletin of Jan. 18th)
Written by: Annette Schettino Uss
Piggy-backing on parishioner Jim Devito’s write-up on “Comfort Zone” in the
bulletin 2 weeks ago, I, like Jim, have also been tasked by France Kennedy to
write for the bulletin. My task was to encourage you all to join a Lenten faithsharing group. While writing is definitely not outside of my comfort zone, asking
others to step outside of their comfort zones is! But, to quote Rohr (as Jim did),
with a “joyous yes inside me,” I accepted. I can easily and wholeheartedly recommend and encourage you to join a small faith-sharing group because of the personal gains I’ve experienced from my participation.
Reading and discussing Gospel scripture in a group brings Jesus’ teachings
and experiences to life! I’ve gained so much insight on how to live my daily life the
way God desires for me by the discussions we’ve had in our small group. Also,
the small groups are a great way to meet and get to know your fellow parishioners.
There are so many amazing people in our wonderful parish. The fellowship,
friendship, and support gained from others on this faith journey are priceless.
If small group sharing is not your “thing,” even quiet participation is beneficial.
You’ll be opening yourself up to an opportunity for the Spirit to work in you. If carving out an hour or two from your week is difficult, weekly attendance is not mandatory, so come when you can. Even part-time participation is beneficial. If you’ve
participated before and are yearning for a different experience, try a new group. If
you’ve participated before and want to continue with the same group, continue to
challenge yourselves to be open to God’s voice through each other. As Jesus
said, “Wherever two or more are gathered in my name, there I am in their midst.”
Make room for communion with Jesus as experienced with others this Lent!!

FOURTH SUNDAY IN
ORDINARY TIME
February 1, 2015
“Brothers and sisters: I should like you
to be free of anxieties.”
1 Corinthians 7:32
How much anxiety do we bring upon
ourselves by constantly worrying about
not having enough or attaining more
things? God won’t necessarily give
you everything you want, but He will
provide everything you need. Try this –
use the word “pray” instead of the
word “worry” in the future.
SCRIP
PROGRAM
The scrip gift cards
are still available. You
can pick up Walmart, Dunkin Donuts,
Home Depot and Amazon on weekends. You can also still order cards
through the office and they will be
ready for pick up the following week.
Any questions contact Kerri 908-8322513. There are still a few Panera and
Movie Cards left also.
Parish Contact Information
TWO OPPORTUNITIES TO SERVE
OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
Everyone has heard about the fire that took place in High Bridge a couple of
weeks ago, and it has taken awhile to get accurate information regarding the families that were displaced, but here is what we know: The Rescue Squad in High
Bridge is coordinating all relief efforts and they have told us that furnishings are
NOT needed. They suggest either monetary donations or gift cards from department stores; Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart. We have cards available for purchase either in the Narthex after the Masses or at The Church Office.The cards
and monetary donations may be left in the Social Ministry donation box located in
the Narthex. Kindly earmark any donations "High Bridge". As in the past , your
generosity is greatly appreciated.
Another opportunity exists to assist the homeless through the giving of your
time at The Spruce Run Lutheran Church where The Interfaith Hospitality Network
will be sending families for a week in February. As more information is gathered,
we will provide it to you both in the bulletin and postings in the Narthex. Thanks for
caring and keep walking with Jesus.

January 31st & February 1st
MORE THAN 20 YEARS AGO, the Souper Bowl of Caring
began with a simple prayer from a single youth group:
“Lord, even as we enjoy the Super Bowl football game,
help us to be mindful of those without even a bowl of soup to eat.”
Since that day, more than $100 million has been raised for local charities
across the country through Souper Bowl of Caring. It has become a powerful
movement that is transforming the time around Super Bowl weekend into the nation’s largest celebration of giving and serving.
Be part of this movement that is sharing God’s love with those in need. Please
give generously on Super Bowl Weekend as you leave Mass. Our youth will greet
you in the Narthex to collect your $ donations and cans of soup. This year we are
collecting money to purchase ingredients to assemble 60 brown bag meals to be
distributed by SHIP (Samaritan Homeless Interim Program in Somerville) via their
mobile soup kitchen. Money collected above that amount will go towards St. John’s
Social Ministry holiday food baskets. A local food pantry will receive the cans of
soup collected.
CPI PARENT/CANDIDATE MEETING
Thursday, February 5, 7:00 p.m., Church Center
There will be a CPI Parent / Candidate Meeting on Thursday, February 5, at 7:00
p.m. in the Church Center. This is an introductory and welcoming meeting as our
sixth graders begin to prepare for Confirmation. At least one parent should accompany their CPI student. .
SAVE THE DATE! LENTEN SOUP SUPPER
What: Meatless Soup Supper
When: Friday, February 20, 2015 at 6PM
Where: Church Center
All parishioners are invited to join us for a simple meal of soup
followed by Stations of the Cross. Please bring a pot of homemade meatless soup

QUOTE(S) OF THE MONTH:
Pope Francis’ 2015 New Year suggestions to his staff.
- “Take care of your spiritual life, your relationship with God, because this is the
backbone of everything we do and everything we are.”
- “Take care of your family life, giving your children and loved ones not just money,
but most of all your time, attention and love.”
- “Heal wounds of the heart with the oil of forgiveness, forgiving those who have
hurt us and medicating the wounds we have caused others.”
- “Look after your work, doing it with enthusiasm, humility, competence, passion
and with a spirit that knows how to thank the Lord.”
- “Watch our for anger that can lead to vengeance; for laziness that leads to existential euthanasia; for pointing the finger at others, which leads to pride; and for
complaining continually, which leads to desperation.”
- “ Take care of brothers and sisters who are weaker … the elderly, the sick, the
hungry, the homeless and strangers, because we will be judged on this.”

We invite you to join us once again for six group sessions over lent. We have groups in the mornings and
evenings. Fr. Abraham suggests you step out of your
comfort zone and try one meeting. Groups will begin during the first week of Lent.
Which is the third week of February. Please fill out a card or call France at the
office if you are interested. The groups gather once a week for 6 weeks, and you
do not have to attend them all – attend what you can.

CARDS
Thanks to the 13 families
who purchased Shop Rite,
Kings and A&P gift cards the last

during the week.

Please call the office or email the youth group at [email protected] to sign

REFLECTION: THIRD SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and
said, "Quiet! Come out of him!"
Mark 1: 21-28
"For sure . . . "
Not a minute goes by that she does not think of her daughter. She was having
coffee with friends, chatting away as if all was well with the world, when she received the call. In an instant, those friends became her source of comfort and sharers in her grief.
It has been a long year, she writes, a journey of grief, struggle and pain. But
her thinking has begun to change:
"For many months, my mind was flooded with If Only. If only I had called. If
only she'd left her home a little later. If only her roommate had asked one more
question, mentioned one more change of plans. If only it hadn't been a good beach
day. If only her friend had been too busy to meet. If only she had been home safe
with us, under our canopy of love and protection.
"Lately, though, I'm struggling to put the If Only aside and focus on the For
Sure. For sure she was living her life, doing what made her happy in a land far
away, yet always close to our hearts. For sure she knew we loved her, felt loved by
us. For sure we thought of each other when we heard or saw or smelled something
we had shared - the inside jokes, the favorite foods. We'd phone each other with
'Guess where I am' or 'Guess what I'm doing' or ' . . . who I am with' or '. . . who I
just saw.'
"The For Sure is what keeps me upright, moving forward. It is what she would
want me and her dad and sister and brother to do. To live our lives to the fullest.
To look for and relish the For Sure. There is no use for If Only, she would admonish. I can hear her telling me that it gains us nothing.
"Instead, she would remind us to find the beauty in a simple feather, a beautiful
piece of glass or seashell or pebble on the beach. To breathe in the fresh air and
exhale the sorrow, the hurt, the longing. Our daughter would tell us to be thankful
for what we have and what we had. To love one another. To think of her often with
joy and not sadness. To feel her presence and her love inside us for all our days."
We can be destroyed by the "unclean spirits" of "If Only." We can be
"possessed" by grief, disappointment, anger, outrage. But, as this grieving
mom comes to realize over time, the Spirit of "For Sure" begins to lead us to
healing, purpose and resolve. To cast out such "demons" is not easy - it
means refocusing our attention from what is missing in our lives to what we
have, from lamenting our regrets and disappointments to finding meaning in
what we can do for others. "Unclean spirits" of anger, fear and hurt can
"possess" all of us - but by his grace, God enables us to cast out the
"demons" that isolate us, that mire us in fear and selfishness, that blind us to
the love of God in our midst, and discover, instead, purpose in doing for others and meaning in being the means for God's healing and hope.
