PRAY TO STAY CENTERED
My mother died at 97 years of age and it intrigues me
to imagine the changes people of her
generation have seen in their lifetime.
Transportation has moved from horse
and buggy to space travel; housing
has experienced innovations that went
from out-houses to multiple baths
with conveniences like whirlpool
tubs; kitchens have moved from open
hearth to microwave; from vegetable cellars to refrigera-
tor-freezers; from cooking supper to eating out, etc. etc.
We live in the wonderful world of change! With all these
wonderful technological innovations one would expect
that our lives would become more enjoyable and more
relaxed. Instead, we have become the most stressed
filled generation of all time, and it only gets worse.
Terms like “road rage” and “going postal” have become
common place as have reports of disasters reeked on oth-
ers by stress filled individuals.
Christians are not exempt from this stress and pres-
sure. In addition to coping with all of these modern
changes and the pressure life creates, they have added to
their lives the demands of being and doing all that their
faith requires. There is no shortage of well meaning indi-
viduals who through messages, books, and the electronic
media lay one expectation after another on our plate,
spelling out the many things we must do to be faithful.
Consequently, we often feel pulled in many directions,
running faster, with less joy, trying to fulfill the expecta-
tions of others.
Jesus, being fully human, also lived amid considerable
pressure. He experienced people besieging him for help
in overcoming sickness, disease, demon possession, and
the many ills of society. Multitudes followed him con-
tinually; some to listen and learn,
while others, intent on tripping him
up, listened to his every word only so
that they could accuse him. Both the
general population and Jesus’ disci-
ples conveyed expectations to him of
what he should do and be. How did
Jesus avoid succumbing to the stress
and pressure life brought on him? Why did he not be-
come angry and stressed-out?
First of all, Jesus maintained a life that was centered
on the Father, and on doing his Father’s will. This, sin-
gleness of purpose and desire to please the Father in eve-
rything, brought calmness in the midst of turmoil, and
clear direction to his life. All other expectations were
perceived and evaluated through this singular lens of the
Father’s revealed will.
Second, Jesus, being fully human, consistently took
time to commune with God the Father through periods of
private prayer. Out of these times of aloneness with the
Father, Jesus found direction, strength and determination
to keep his saving mission. And for us also, it is in our
moments of solitude with the Father that we are able to
become anchored spiritually, to discover and re-discover
who we are, why we are created, and how we should live.
From these times of reflection and prayer come the life-
giving relationship with the Father that enables us to go
forth in peace, being peace bearers to those around us. In
order to recognize who Christ truly is, Christians should
turn with renewed interest to the Bible. In the revealed
text it is the Heavenly Father himself who comes to us in
love and who dwells with us, disclosing to us the nature
of his only-begotten Son and his plan of salvation for hu-
manity. Emmaus Journey Reflections

CONGRATUALTIONS AND WELCOME
Baptism is a wonderful blessing that God has given to
His church! It’s a means by which He gives us
faith and forgiveness of sins. It’s our new birth
into the Family of God! But it’s also more than
just a momentary event in the life of a follower
of Jesus. It’s a lifelong journey of growing in
that faith and taking next steps with Jesus!
After the 11:00am Mass on Sunday February 18th, we
welcomed Aiden David Maloney into our community as a
new member of the family of God. Congratulations to John
and Jennifer Maloney as they have Aiden baptized.

LENTEN SEASON
Lent is the time of spiritual preparation prior to the
Easter season. Jesus taught us clearly that
there is no resurrection without the
Cross, and Lent is the Church's great
spiritual journey as she, the Bride of
Christ, joins her Divine spouse in His
great suffering on our behalf.
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, Feb-
ruary 14th, and for Christians starts the 40 day period of
fasting, ending on Thursday March 29th. These days repre-
sents the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness. Join
us on Ash Wednesday, every Friday for the stations of the
Cross, fasting and abstaining from meat on Ash Wednesday
and every Friday, almsgiving and the Sacrament of Confes-
sion as we prepare for the Resurrection of Christ.
