Catholic Watchmen Night

!"#$%#%&"'()*+

Re! ection for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time ©Liturgical Publications Inc

"So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men

and followed him." What did Zebedee think about all of this? His sons and

his partners, James and John, suddenly left their post and followed Jesus.

So there he stood in the boat with a crew of employees, but not one of his

sons. We can't help but wonder whether Zebedee was in favor of this prom-

ise that his heirs would become "! shers of men." Most likely, this event was

the cause of some familial tension.

Throughout the Gospels, Jesus in-

structs us to love and serve others

for the love of God. But the Lord also

makes it clear that our devotion to

him is meant to trump our devotion

to anything-or anyone-else. For our

part, we are called to allow this di-

vine allegiance to exist in those we

love, even when it means a sacri! ce for us as well. Parents for example, like

Zebedee, are called to encourage their children to follow the Lord's call. A

son or daughter's vocation to religious life certainly exempli! es this kind of

sacri! ce for a parent who might have had a di# erent plan in mind. But in

truth every son and daughter has a vocation from God and parents have

the opportunity to support and assist their children as they seek to hear

and follow God's special plan for their lives.

We don't know for sure how Zebedee responded to the vocation of his

sons, but we know that James and John were counted among the Twelve

Apostles and that their devotion and dedication helped to spread the Gos-

pel to the ends of the earth. Regardless of what he might have thought as

he stood in that boat, we can be quite sure that looking back now, Zebedee

can rejoice heartily in the choice of his sons to leave their nets and follow

Christ.

Agnus Dei: History of Latin and Covenant in Catholic Tradition Bernie Leach

Assembly members at St. Stephen’s are singing the Lamb of God in Latin

(Agnus Dei) during Ordinary Time, Lent and Easter this year. The beautiful

setting of this part of Mass by Fr. Michael Joncas helps worshippers get in

touch with not only the rich heritage of the Church, but with their own

mystical side, as they sing the familiar words of the Lamb of God in an-

other language. This language once had great familiarity to many in the

church even though that is no longer the case. Latin has great signi! cance

for Catholics because it is part of the long history of the Church.

The sung Agnus Dei or Lamb of God is sung during the Fraction Rite. This

is when the Blessed Sacrament is divided so that all might receive commu-

nion, and it occurs right before all the faithful come forward to participate

in the communion procession. The communion procession is the part of

Mass during which every fully initiated Catholic participates by coming for-

ward in procession to receive the Body and Blood of Christ.

The idea that Christ is the Lamb of God comes from scripture, including

the Passover during the Exodus of the Jewish people. When they left Egypt

they marked their doorposts with the blood of the lamb that they had used

for their Passover meal (Ex 12: 21-23). This was to be a protection for them

on their journey, provided by God as part of the covenant they had made

with him. After Christ’s passion and death, and in light of the resurrection,

the earliest Christians (who were Jewish, as was Christ) began to see Christ

as the Passover lamb of a new creation.

Catholics today see the sacri! ce Christ made as the ! nal and ultimate sacri-

! ce, but the celebration of Mass each Sunday is the “unbloody” recreation of

that same sacri! ce. It is the covenant the Christians have with God through

Christ’s blood, shed on the cross, that gives them protection and nourishes

their own witness to the world. This covenant is invoked as all the members

of the assembly at any given Mass sing these important words asking for

God’s mercy and God’s peace before they come forward to receive that very

same Christ in the communion procession.

A New Year’s Resolution You Can Keep!Want to start the New Year in a way that will transform your work, your mar-

riage, your family, and your life? Are you ready to learn the quickest, surest,

and easiest way to holiness? In our hectic day and time, Saint John Paul ll

and Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta knew that the quickest way to be trans-

formed into a saint is through a relationship with Our Blessed Mother, Mary.

Join us on Monday, February 12, as we begin a 33-day preparation for

Marian Consecration. Each day we’ll individually follow four great Marian

giants: St. Louis de Montfort, St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Teresa of Calcutta and

St. John Paul ll. They’ll teach us the secrets to drawing closer to the Heart of

Jesus through the Heart of Mary. In our weekly meetings, we’ll share our in-

sights within our small group and then watch a thiry minute video. The video

by popular author and speaker, Fr. Michael Gailtley, MIC, brings our individual

re! ections and group experience into a clear and live-able focus.

If you want to transform your relationship with Christ, this a perfect New

Year’s Resolution!

There will be six meetings on Monday evenings from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Ses-

sions will run from 2/12 to 3/26 (no meeting 3/19 due to parish mission).

Consecration will be Sunday, March 25, the Feast of the Annunciation.

To register and order materials by January 29, please call Robin at 763-421-0333.

Stewardship Re! ection“Follow me and I will make you $ shers of men.” - MARK 1:17

Jesus’ call to “Follow me” is a call to all Christians! The call is in the here and now, in our present cir-cumstances, not when we think we are “ready” or have everything in order. Good stewardship of our God-given gifts means that things aren’t always going to go according to our schedule and that God has a much better plan in store for each of us.

Serving Our Families With Young ChildrenDuring the 10:30 a.m. Sunday Mass,

families are invited to have children

Estamos “Pescando” a Los Voluntarios, para Las Cenas de Pescado, de La CuaresmaDe nuevo estamos “pescando” a mas voluntarios para nuestras cenas de pescado. Las fechas de las cenas son: el 16 y 23 de febrero, y el 2, 9, 16 y 23 de marzo. Si desean servir como voluntarios, contactar a Carole Santer @763-421-1971 o por correo electrónico a: cjsanter2244@hotmail.com.

Una Re$ exión del Tercer Domingo del TiempoOrdinario ©Liturgical Publications Inc"Entonces dejaron su padre Zebedeo en el barco, junto con los jornaleros y le siguieron a Él.” ¿Qué pensó Zebedeo de todo esto? Sus hijos y sus com-pañeros, Santiago y Juan, de repente dejaron su puesto y siguieron a Jesús. Ahí estaba el en el barco, con los trabajadores, pero sin sus propios hijos. Nos preguntamos si Zebedeo estaba de acuerdo con esta promesa que sus hijos iban a ser “pescadores de hombres”. Probablemente este evento causó tensión familiar.

A lo largo de Los Evangelios, Jesús nos instruía a amar y a servir a los demás, por el amor a Dios. Pero el Señor también nos hace claro que nuestra de-voción a Él tiene que ser primero, antes de cual quiera cosa o cualquiera persona. Por nuestra parte, somos llamados a permitir que este compro-miso divino exista en los que amamos, aun cuando signi! ca que tenemos que hacer un sacri! cio nosotros mismos. Por ejemplo, los padres de familia, como Zebedeo, son llamados a alentar a sus hijos a que sigan el llamado de Dios. Una vocación de un hijo o de una hija para la vida religiosa es un ejemplo de este tipo de sacri! cio para los padres de familia, que quizás tenían otro plan en la mente para sus hijos. Pero de verdad, cada hijo e hija tiene una vocación de Dios, y los padres de familia tienen la oportunidad de apoyar y atender a sus hijos, mientras que busquen, escuchen y sigan el plan especial de Dios en sus vidas.

No sabemos cómo respondió Zebedeo a la vocación de sus hijos, pero sa-bemos que Santiago y Juan formaron parte de los Doce Apóstoles, y que su devoción y su dedicación ayudaron a compartir el Evangelio a los con! nes de la tierra. Sin importar lo que tal vez haya pensado en el barco, podemos estar seguros que viendo para atrás ahora, Zebedeo puede regocijar de ver-dad, en lo que sus hijos escogieron, dejando las redes y siguiendo a Jesús.

Una Re! exíon De La Corresponsabilidad“Síganme y los haré pescadores de hombres” - MARCOS 1:17

¡El llamado de Jesús a “seguirlo” es un llamado a todos los cristianos! La llamada está en el aquí y ahora, en nuestras circunstancias actuales, no cuando pensamos que estamos “lis-tos” o que todo está en orden. Una buena administración de los dones que Dios nos dio signi' ca que las co-sas no siempre van a ir de acuerdo con nuestra agenda y que Dios tiene un plan mucho mejor reservado para cada uno de nosotros.
