Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

For the weekend of this bulletin I will be in the Holy Land. I

carry with me the parish lists with all the names of

parishioners. I hope at least once to read over the lists and

pray for everyone by name. I hope to let you know at which

holy site I got to accomplish this task.

Starting with the saints amid the ministry of our Lord

himself, let me speak of some specific saints whose examples

have inspired me lately. The examples of the saints are as

much needed now as ever.

Joseph of Arimathea, and Mary the sister of Martha, both

“wasted” things of extreme value to honor Jesus, when

others would definitely have gone with a “cheaper” option.

(In the one case a rock-hewn tomb, in the other, spikenard

oil). In this regard I think of our church sanctuaries. Let us

use our resources to make dignified “temples” for the

Eucharistic sacrifice, revealing to individuals and families

the divine nature of the sacraments.

Saints James and John, the Sons of Zebedee, stepped away

from their father’s business to follow Jesus. They left their

gainful employment and risked their livelihood on some

bold new initiative, not sure if it was a “sustainable” project.

So also, we should not be concerned with the prospects of

outward “success,” when all we really mean by that word is

the boastful impression of being acclaimed by others.

St. Matthew and Mary Magdalene show in a certain way the

example of being “servant of all.” They disregarded all past

and present opinions about their own personalities. They set

about a new vocation with Christ and in Christ. He was their

confidence and their inspiration.

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton had to disregard social exclusion

and accept nearly extreme poverty to start her Catholic

teaching career and her order of sisters. Yet it was her love

for the Eucharist, and her conviction of Christ’s presence

there that sustained her.

Maybe my random list of saints this week has no one who

stands out to you. Maybe none of their patronages seem

connected to you. Still, let us invoke some of their prayers by

asking “all the holy angels and saints” to pray for us. Our

patrons do pray for us. We do need their examples to

enlighten our choices before us.

Let us also pray for each other in this upcoming week.

Sincerely, in Christ, with Mary, Fr. Timothy Naples

wineries, food catered by the Old Lantern Inn, and live music

will be provided by the Guitar Chant Trio. Companies

participating include Mill River Brewing, Queen City Brewery,

Harpoon Brewery, Farnham Ale & Lager, and North Branch

trying to make ends meet, when her hours were cut. She got

behind on her rent and faced an eviction. Vermont Catholic

Charities helped with rent so she could stay in her home. To

Will you Help Us to Continue to Fill the Gaps for the most vulnerable Vermonters?

Since 1929, Vermont Catholic Charities has been filling in the gaps for the most vulnerable Vermonters of all faiths and races. Thousands of individuals and families receive support through emergency aid, residential care homes, counseling services, and denture program.

Taste the Best Vermont Has to Offer

TAX STATEMENT: Vermont Catholic Charities, Inc. is a registered 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization and all donations received are fully deductible for tax purposes.

We fill the gaps no one else can.“John” is a dad of two children; one has special needs. John works full-time, but makes too much money marginally to qualify for any services like Section 8, food stamps, etc. We helped John with a utility bill and food cards.

In January, “Valerie” called with an emergency. She was running out of propane and was afraid that she and her two daughters could not stay in their apartment without heat due to the severity of the weather. We paid for a delivery of propane to keep the heat on.
