January 17, 2016 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Our Lady of Peace
SURPRISES Life is full of surprises, some pleasant, some not. The scriptures are filled with stories of God’s surprises cropping up when they are least expected: younger children obtaining the inheritance; the lowliest being seated highest up; an itinerant preacher, killed like a criminal, exalted to eternal, heavenly glory. Anybody who has planned a wedding or similar event knows that they are filled with opportunities for surprises. For the bridegroom in today’s Gospel story, who has no direct contact with Jesus, the pleasant surprise came because somebody else paid attention and had faith in Jesus. We may think that the point of today’s familiar story of the wedding at Cana is that when we have faith in Jesus, our lives will be pleasantly changed. A Christian, however, needs to have a broader perspective and realize that to have faith in Christ means that somebody’s life—not necessarily our own—will be surprised for the better. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Members of the 31 Club agree to go to daily Mass on a particular day every month and offer that Mass for an increase of vocations to the Church. There is a great need for vocations in the Church today. One of the best ways to increase vocations is through prayer, and the greatest prayer we have is the holy sacrifice of the Mass. Upcoming Mass commitments: Dec. 17: Len & Cathy K., Helen W., Barbara W. Dec. 18: Frank G., Kathy T., Carlee Y. Dec. 19: Amber D., Chris L., Kim G. Dec. 20: Debi C., Kim D., James T., Roseann G., Jack Y. Dec. 21: George O., Connie R., Maureen T. Dec. 22: John G., Ruth H., Sally R., Dianne Y. Dec. 23: Heidi A.
If you would like to join the OLP 31 Club, please call Dave or Kathy Wayman at 454-8974. There are no dues and no meetings, only opportunities for grace and the satisfaction that comes from helping to fulfill a great need in the Church.

Fr. David Renne, Spiritual Director FATIMA ZARAGOZA LOURDES
Getting More Out of the Rosary (taken from: Our Lady’s Courier)
The rosary is a synthesis of bodily, vocal and mental prayer aimed at disposing the praying person for an experience
of contemplative prayer. 3. According to legend, the rosary was instrumental in St.
Dominic’s efforts to convert the Albigensians. Not coincidentally, the rosary contains the traditional elements of catechesis that are still the backbone of Catholic catechisms, whether the Baltimore Catechism or the Catechism of the Catholic Church. These elements are the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, the 10 Commandments and the Sacraments. The Commandments and Sacraments are found, for the most part, in the mysteries. For example, the Fourth Commandment (Honor you father & mother) is found in the Fifth Joyful Mystery (The finding of the Child Jesus in the temple), will continue # 3 next week...
Watch the bulletin for the continued list...
Call Fr. David now to sign up for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Celebrate the Year of Mercy in this special way.

A Family Perspective At Cana we get a good insight into Mary’s parenting
style. She did not plead, argue, demand or manipulate. She merely pointed out the situation and
trusted her son would make the best decision.
