Liturgical Tidbits THE CHOSEN REMNANT

Intentions for January 28—February 4

Zephaniah is one of the least-known of the Old Testament prophets. He speaks in today’s first reading of impending judgment. But the Lord will leave a “remnant” in Israel. This image of a remnant, or remainder, was to become vital to both Judaism and Christianity. Paul’s letter to Corinth makes obvious his deep concern for the Christians there. They are too self-confident, he says, too sure of themselves. He admonishes them to remember that Christ has given them all they have. Today’s Gospel comprises the opening of Jesus’ “Great Sermon.” As God gave Moses the law on Sinai, so now Jesus gathers his disciples on a hillside to teach them the new law. Each of these Beatitudes contrasts the humiliation of the present with the glory of the future: poverty vs. the riches of God’s kingdom, hunger for holiness vs. fulfillment in the Spirit, persecution vs. the reign of God. Jesus is here speaking to God’s chosen “remnant.”

2ND COLLECTION FOR PARISH MAINTENANCE, FEB 4-5 Next weekend’s second collection is for Parish Maintenance.

CATECHETICAL MINISTRY REFLECTIONS Reflections on the Sunday readings for yourself or as a family from Our Sunday Visitor. 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Questions of the Week Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time Theme: The Beatitudes -- a way of life -- a map to happiness. Breaking Open the Word Suggested text for faith sharing: Today’s Gospel Step One: Listen to the Word When you heard the Beatitudes proclaimed today, which one struck you? What one word from this reading lingers now in your memory? Step Two: Look into Your Life Question for Children: Choose one of the Beatitudes and share how you will make it part of your life. Question for Youth: Jesus gives us a plan for our happiness in the beatitudes. Do the things that make you happiest also lead you towards God? Do they follow God’s plan? Question for Adults: How do you describe what it means to be “blest” in your own life?

YOU ARE INVITED Each Thursday for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration, in the Chapel with exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, followed by the recitation of the Holy Rosary and Chaplet of Divine Mercy. This will conclude with a Benediction with Fr. Noel.

Phong Nguyen 408-6752040, [email protected]) about the baptism of your child. Godparents and parents are required to register for and attend a baptism session/class (the next class is on Saturday, February 4) registration can be done through our parish secretary @ 408-775-8056.
