Fourth Sunday In Ordinary Time February 1, 2015 FALL CARNIVAL St. Timothy’s Fall Carnival is an important part of our life. I see it as an outreach event announcing our presence to our neighborhood. It brings together 100’s of people to work together to offer a weekend of enjoyment to our patrons. It is also an important part of our annual budget which counts on a $65,000 profit. We are in need of some fresh leadership to help this venture to continue. Mike and Kathy Huey have committed to being the overall chair couple this coming year, so we are looking for couples to learn under them and take over these responsibilities for the following year. A three year cycle of commitment may be set up to help us preserve this activity. We are also looking for a system of chairs for our Silent auction. Some of the Arel family who have led the auction for several years will be available to help this project, but new leadership is needed. I thank all those who have dedicated themselves so selflessly over these past years. Please contact me or Mike Huey if you are able to help. Fr. Chuck P.S. This weekend we welcome Fr. Jerry Hackenmeuller. He will speak about UNBOUND. Information can be found on the tables by the doors and Fr. Jerry will be available after all the Masses. (Note: no confessions after 5:00 PM Mass.) Page 2 Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 1, 2015 LITURGY & PRAYER FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Scripture Readings for this weekend include: First Reading — Moses spoke to all the people, saying: “A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up for you” (Deuteronomy 18:15-20). Psalm — If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts (Psalm 95). Second Reading — Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties (1 Corinthians 7:32-35). Gospel — The people were astonished at Jesus’ teaching; he taught them as one having authority (Mark 1:21-28). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Malachi 3:1-4 Psalm 24:7-10 Hebrews 2:14-18 Luke 2:22-40 Tuesday: Hebrews 12:1-4 Psalm 22:26b-28, 30-32 Mark 5:21-43 Wednesday: Hebrews 12:4-7, 11-15 Psalm 103:1-2, 13-14, 17-18a Mark 6:1-6 Thursday: Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24 Psalm 48:2-4, 9-11 Mark 6:7-13 Friday: Hebrews 13:1-8 Psalm 27:1, 3, 5, 8b-9 Mark 6:14-29 Saturday: Hebrews 13:15-17, 20-21 Psalm 23:1-6 Mark 6:30-34 Sunday: Job 7:1-4, 6-7 Psalm 147:1-6 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23 Mark 1:29-39 QUESTION OF THE WEEK FOR THIS WEEKEND (FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME): People were impressed how Jesus taught and acted with authority. The fact that someone has authority does not automatically impress others. What makes Jesus’ authority different or impressive? (or What qualities in a person cause me to pay attention to their words?) Where do I see authority exercised in line with Gospel values? FOR NEXT WEEKEND (FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME): Jesus’ day begins and ends with taking care of others, and crowds follow him wherever he goes. When I am busy or tired, how do I respond to family members who want my help or attention? Why is it sometimes hard for us to respond to others' needs? FEBRUARY FOOD SHELF COLLECTION THIS WEEKEND The monthly collection for CEAP is taking place this weekend, January 31/February 1. Please bring your gifts forward at the time of the Preparation of the Gifts. Especially needed this month are cereal, spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, jelly and juice. BRINGING UP THE GIFTS We encourage people to participate in our weekend liturgies by carrying our offerings of money, bread, and wine to the altar. We especially encourage young families to do this as a way of engaging our young people. Please sign up in the binder on the credenza in back of church for any open weekend Mass you will be attending. When you come to church, check your name off so the usher knows you are present and go to the back of church when the collection is being taken. The usher will instruct you if needed. BAPTIZING YOUR CHILD AT ST. TIMOTHY Requirements for having your child baptized at St. Timothy are: registration at St. Tim’s (or another parish) and attendance at a pre-baptism class unless it has been less than two years since you have attended our class previously. Parents are encouraged to register to take the class before their child is born. This class is normally offered once per month. The next class will be held Monday, February 16, from 7:00– 8:30 p.m. in the church. It is necessary to preregister by calling the Parish Office. You may not schedule a baptism until you have attended class. For more information or to register for the class, call the Parish Office at 763-784-1329. Godparents are also welcome to attend. IN MEMORIAM Let us keep members of our parish in our thoughts and prayers especially Sharon Hemmeke who has recently died.

This week’s topic: February 19: “Overview of Grief”, Linda Cherek, RN, MSW, LICSW, Licensed Therapist KEY PRINCIPLES OF CATHOLIC SOCIAL TEACHING Human Dignity In a world warped by materialism and declining respect for human life, the Catholic Church proclaims that human life is sacred and that the dignity of the person is the foundation of a moral vision for society. Our belief in the sanctity of human life and the inherent dignity of the human person is the foundation of all the principles of our social teaching. Community and the Common Good In a global culture driven by excessive individualism, our tradition proclaims that the person is not only sacred but also social. How we organize our society -- in economics and politics, in law and policy -- directly affects human dignity and the capacity of individuals to grow in community. Our Church teaches that the role of the government and other institutions is to protect human life and human dignity and promote the common good. Rights and Responsibilities Catholic tradition teaches that human dignity can be protected and a healthy community can be achieved only if human rights are protected and responsibilities are met. Therefore, every person has a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities -- to one another, to our families, and to the larger society. Option for the Poor and Vulnerable Catholic teaching proclaims that a basic moral test is how our most vulnerable members are faring. In a society marred by deepening divisions between rich and poor, our tradition recalls the story of the Last Judgment (Mt. 25) and instructs us to put the needs of the poor and vulnerable first. Participation All people have a right to participate in the economic, political, and cultural life of society. It is a fundamental demand of justice and a requirement for human dignity that all people be assured a minimum level of participation in the community. Conversely, it is wrong for a person or a group to be excluded unfairly or to be unable to participate in society. In the words of the U.S. bishops, "The ultimate injustice is for a person or group to be treated actively or abandoned passively as if they were non-members of the human race. To treat people this way is effectively to say they simply do not count as human beings." Dignity of Work and Rights of Workers In a marketplace where too often the quarterly bottom line takes precedence over the rights of workers, we believe that the economy must serve people, not the other way around. If the dignity of work is to be protected, then the basic rights of workers must be respected -- the right to productive work, to decent and fair wages, to organize and join unions, to private property and to economic initiative. Stewardship of Creation Catholic tradition insists that we show our respect for the Creator by our stewardship of creation. We are called to protect people and the planet, living our faith in relationship with all of God’s creation. This environmental challenge has fundamental moral and ethical dimensions which cannot be ignored. Solidarity Catholic social teaching proclaims that we are our brothers' and sisters' keepers, wherever they live. We are one human family, whatever our national, racial, ethnic, economic, and ideological differences. Solidarity means that "loving our neighbor" has global dimensions in an interdependent world. Role of Government Because we are social beings, the state is natural to the person. Therefore, the state has a positive moral function. It is an instrument to promote human dignity, protect human rights, and build the common good. It's purpose is to assist citizens in fulfilling their responsibility to others in society. Since, in a large and complex society these responsibilities cannot adequately be carried out on a one-to-one basis, citizens need the help of government in fulfilling these responsibilities and promoting the common good. According to the principle of subsidiarity, the functions of government should be performed at the lowest level possible, as long as they can be performed adequately. If they cannot, then a higher level of government should intervene to provide help. Promotion of Peace Catholic teaching promotes peace as a positive, action-oriented concept. In the words of Pope John Paul II, "Peace is not just the absence of war. It involves mutual respect and confidence between peoples and nations. It involves collaboration and binding agreements.” There is a close relationship in Catholic teaching between peace and justice. Peace is the fruit of justice and is dependent upon right order among human beings.
