EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP — RECOGNIZE GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

GOD’S GPS NEVER FAILS

I use GPS wherever I go, and it serves me well most of the time. However, sometimes it leads me to a place that does not

exist. Then there are those times when I am about to turn, and the man inside my phone shouts out, “GPS signal lost!” or

“Rerouting!” The problem is, when the area is unfamiliar to me, I have no choice but to listen. I could try to get where I am

going by simple intuition or by pulling over to look at a paper map, but I don’t trust my sense of direction. And I haven’t

bought a paper map in close to a decade!

Many people move through life without any direction. They find themselves constantly rerouting and wondering when they

will ever get to a satisfying final destination. What they need is a compass and a companion for the journey. Yet they have no

idea how to get either.

Prayer can serve as a compass, and it connects us to a companion for the journey. Stewardship living is impossible without

prayer. If we count on our own will and believe we can become fruitful without daily contact with the Divine, we can find

ourselves looking for directions more than moving toward a destination. God, through prayer, will help us see all we have as a

gift. God, through prayer, will lead us away from materialism and selfishness and toward freedom and generosity. Even when

we fall to sin, the path back is clearer. God’s GPS signal is never really lost. — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

NEW YEAR’S DAY, JANUARY 1 Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God

HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION Wednesday, January 1, 2020, we celebrate and honor Mary,

Mother of God and World Day of Peace. Our Lady is God’s

greatest Saint who loves us and intercedes for us with a Mother’s

love, In this gift of the New Year we dedicate ourselves to Holy

Mary’s Immaculate protection. A wonderful way to start off the

new year is to come together as a family by celebrating the Eu-

charist, asking God for blessings for the gift of New Year. Come

pray, pray for peace! Come, begin to be spiritually renewed!

Let us pray . . . God of heaven and earth, you came to us and took our earthly

flesh through the gift of Mary's yes. She is our Mother in faith,

as she is your earthly mother. We are thankful beyond our abil-

ity to thank you for the gift of her Son as our brother and savior.

Through her self-giving, we have been reconciled to you.

Bless us as we begin this New Year and endow us with the de-

sire and ability to create a world of peace.

We ask all this, through the intercession of Mary to you,

one God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

New Year’s Day WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR PEACE

O God, who have revealed that peacemakers

are to be called your children.

Grant, we pray, that we may work without ceasing to

establish that justice which alone ensures

true and lasting peace.

Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and

reigns with you in the unity of The Holy Spirit, one

God, forever and ever. Amen. —from the Roman Missal

Give peace, O Lord, to those who wait for you;

Hear the prayers of your servants

And guide us in the way of justice.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all who in any way contributed to the beauty and dignity

of our Christmas Celebration. May the graces of Our Lord Jesus be with us always and lead all to His

Kingdom, a Kingdom opened to us by His coming into our world. Christmas indeed has changed

everything.

Wednesday of this week we begin 2020. New Year’s Day is a Holy Day and celebrating it at Mass

is the best way to begin the New Year. Please check the Mass schedule below for Mass times at our 4

churches. May 2020 be a time of peace throughout our world, more unity here at home and of great

blessings for all in our Parish and all those in our family.

Finally, on a personal note on behalf of Fr. Al and myself, I wish to thank all who remembered us at

Christmas with cards, gifts of food — especially homemade ones and other gifts from the heart. They are most appreciated.

Your thoughtfulness and kindness make our service to the parish a joy. May the Lord reward you many times over and bless our

parish of St. Matthias, made up of so many good and kind members throughout the year ahead.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph 5

JANUARY IS THE MONTH OF

THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS By tradition, the Catholic Church dedi-

cates each month of the year to a certain

devotion. In January, it is the Holy Name of

Jesus. Through this devotion, the Church

reminds us of the power of Christ's Name

and encourages us to pray in His Name.

Keeping Christ's Name always on our lips is

a good way to ensure that we draw ever

nearer to Him.

Very early on, Christians came to understand that the

very name of Jesus had great power, and the recitation of His

Name was itself a form of prayer. This short prayer is a com-

bination of that early Christian practice and the prayer of-

fered by the publican in the parable of the Pharisee and the

publican (Luke 18:9-14). It is perhaps the most popular pray-

er among Eastern Christians, both Orthodox and Catholic,

who recite it using prayer ropes that are similar to Western

rosaries.

As St. Paul wrote in Philippians 2, “At the name of Je-

sus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things

in earth, and things under the earth; and every tongue

should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.” Very early on,

Christians came to understand that the very name of Jesus

had great power, and the recitation of His Name was itself a

form of prayer.

St. Paul urges us to "pray without ceasing," and this pray-

er is one of the best ways to start doing so. It takes only a

few minutes to memorize, after which we can recite it when-

ever we remember to do so:

The Jesus Prayer O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God,

have mercy on me, a sinner.

THANK YOU TO OUR BULLETIN SPONSORS Our Sunday bulletin is a primary way we use to com-

municate with you. Through our arrangement with Litur-

gical Publications, Inc. (Lpi), our parishes do not pay for

the bulletin printing, which saves us thousands of dollars

every year. Our bulletin is supported through the generos-

ity of the advertisers - many of whom are our own parish

members. Most are members of our local community.

During these difficult economic times, I urge you to sup-

port our advertisers with your patronage. Tell the business

owner that you appreciate their support of our parish

through their advertising in the bulletin. This is one small

way we can work within our own community to weather

these challenging times.

A strong and vibrant parish is good for our community

and a strong business community is good for our parish.

ANOINTING OF THE SICK MASS January 4 at 10:00 am at

St. Ann Worship Site On the first Saturday of the month, January 4, at

10:00 am at St. Ann Worship site there will be a Mass

of Healing and Anointing for those who are in need of

this special Sacrament for the Anointing of the Sick.

From month to month it will move around the parish

and be celebrated in the different worship sites

throughout the year. Please note that any parishioner

may attend these masses, you don’t have to need the

anointing to attend. We welcome your presence.

LECTOR WORKSHOP Saturday, January 18 at 10:00 am

St. Hugh Worship Site When the Sacred Scriptures are read in the Church,

God himself speaks to his people, and Christ, present in

his word, proclaims the Gospel. Therefore, the readings

from the Word of God are to be listened to reverently by

everyone, for they are an element of the greatest im-

portance in the Liturgy.

Have you felt a call to proclaim God’s word to others?

St. Matthias Parish will have a “parish workshop” for

those who are newly interested in or have been proclaim-

ing the word at our Sunday/Saturday Masses. We will

meet at St. Hugh Church in Carmichael's on Saturday

morning January 18th at 10:00 am for a workshop on this

important ministry for all the churches of our parish.

If you are interested please contact one of the

parish office centers to register for this important

workshop.

FAITH LIFE

Life can be overwhelming. Too many worries, too many places to be, too many items on the to-do list. Do you ever wish for some way—any way—to slow down and really consider what it’s all about? Where do you currently find your meaning? Where do you want to find meaning? Is it possible to be fulfilled? These are questions worth asking. Discovering Christ is for anyone who is curious. Enjoy a delicious dinner and listen to a thought-provoking talk that is designed to explore the meaning and purpose of your life. After the talk, you can share your thoughts in a small group (and talk as much or as little as you wish). It’s all done in a warm, friendly, and judgement-free environment. Discovering Christ is fun, relaxed, and free.

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph 7

Every Sunday at Mass, Catholics around the world hear 3 or 4 passages from the Bible. We end up listening to hun-dreds of passages from Scripture. Join us weekly as Dr. Brant Pitre takes us for an in-depth Bible study on the Gospel readings, connecting them with the Old Testament reading and Responsorial Psalm for each Sunday Mass. You will learn the meaning of passages, why the various readings were chosen and put together, and how the Old Testament reading points forward to the New Testament and how the New Testament fulfills the Old. Understand the Biblical roots of the Catholic faith and how the readings that are given to us each week are meant to be applied to our daily lives, walking with Christ as Disciples of the Lord.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

PRESENTED BY: DR. EDWARD SRI (AM & PM SESSIONS)

Being Catholic takes more than simply believing in God or doing what

he asks of us. Jesus wants you to be more than just a believer—He wants

you to be his disciple and friend. Follow Me invites you to experience the

joy of a renewed friendship with Christ. You will learn what it takes to

follow Him. You will experience the joy of divine friendship, and you will

see how God— and only God—can satisfy the deepest desires of your

heart.

Each of the EIGHT sessions will have a 30-minute DVD presentation followed by a 30-minute group discussion on the

session’s questions. Dr. Edward Sri will guide you through the Gospel of John. Dr. Sri will explain how Christ’s en-

counters with others in the Gospel are examples of how He lovingly and persistently calls each of us to a more intimate

and life-changing relationship with Him.

Both sessions will be at St. Hugh Worship Site: Tuesdays, beginning February 11 through March 31, 2020

AM Session -- will begin at 9:00 AM in the Fr. Stack Annex PM Session -- will meet at 6:00 pm in the Fr. Stack Annex

Pray for those

in the Military

Prayer for the Sick

Father of goodness and love, hear

our prayers for the sick members

of our community

and for all who are in need.

Amid mental and physical

suffering may they find consola-

tion in your healing

presence.

Show your mercy as you close

wounds, cure illness, make bro-

ken bodies whole and free down-

cast spirits.

May these special people

find lasting health and

deliverance, and so join

us in thanking you

for all your gifts.

We ask this through the Lord

Jesus who healed those who believed. Amen.
