The Legacy Society“Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties.”

– 1 Corinthians 7:32

How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying about not having enough or attaining more things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this – use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future. Then pray for things instead of worrying about them.

Please consider creating a Catholic legacy of support for our Parish community and/or one of its Ministries that will last forever by contacting one of The Legacy Society members who appear on the inside front cover of this bulletin. You can also call Sue Larson at the Parish Office for more information.

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Time to get ready for taxes.The Resurrection end-of-year contribution statements have gone out by email for whom we have an email address. If we don’t have an email for you, your statement will be sent by mail. If you don’t get either an email or a paper statement in the mail, then, perhaps we have an incorrect email address for you, so please call the office and ask for Chris Roberts to get it updated and have a statement mailed to you.

Bishop’s Annual Appeal statements are separate from the Resurrection end-of-year contribution statement! You will have to call the office to request a copy if you do not receive one in the mail. We should have the BAA statements by January 31st. PLEASE NOTE: The BAA Development office will send a statement directly to anyone who contributed over $250.00 for the year.

For questions, please call Chris Roberts in the church office at 614-855-1400 or email her at [email protected].

January 24th THIRD SUNDAY

IN ORDINARY TIME

Reading: Jonah 3:1-5, 10 2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

Gospel: Mark 1:14-20 Readings: www.Nccbuscc.org

“Teach me your ways, O Lord; teach me your ways.”

Psalm 25:4-5, 6-7, 8-9

“Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’” - John 1:38

What are you looking for? Are you wasting your time looking for the material comforts of the world? Or, is your heart longing for something deeper that can only be found by spending time with God? Take time, each day, in silence

and ask the Lord what it is that He wants you to do.

January 31st FOURTH SUNDAY

IN ORDINARY TIME

Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15-20 2nd Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35

Gospel: Mark 1:21-28 Readings: www.Nccbuscc.org

“If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.”

Psalm 95:1-2, 6-7, 7-9

“Follow me and I will make you fishers 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 circumstances, 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.

Music and COVIDThe COVID crisis has affected us on both a worldly scale and on a personal level as well. Church of the

Resurrection’s Music Ministry is no exception. Our choirs and large groups of instrumentalists have ceased and we now lead

worship with small ensembles and cantors. Due to the science of singing, aerosol projections, and group dynamics, not only have we put our choirs on hold, but your

“full, conscious, and active participation” at Mass has been reduced.

While we have decided to scale back, and in some cases, eliminate, parts of our Music Ministry program, we will continue to give praise and glory to our

Lord in a joyous, reverent, and safe manner.We hope to all sing together again, soon.

Peace, blessings, and good health to you all.Thom WyattAbby Porr

BAPTISMINFANTS & CHILDREN UP TO 4YEARS

Families new to Baptism at Church of the Resurrection are invited to attend a 90-minute prep class while awaiting

the birth or adoption of your child. This class will include an opportunity to reflect

on your responsibility to hand on the faith to your child; and, on the Baptismal Liturgy which begins this journey.

ANOINTING

Please call the Parish Office to notify us of illness in the family and especially if

someone is confined at home or in the hospital.

MATRIMONY

Please call the parish office for anappointment with Fr. Denis Kigozi.

In today’s Gospel, we hear proclaimed the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. He teaches. He heals. And all are amazed. By their Baptism, Christian stewards realize they are called to do the same in their lives. They are called to be the light of Christ each day. As we bring closure to the beginning of this new year, now is a good time to ask the Lord to fill our hearts with courage and faith, so that we, too, may publicly minister in His name. Let us ask

that we may be liberated from our insecurities and fear so that we can share the Gospel authoritatively and work to heal at least one wounded relationship in the coming months ahead.

Sunday, Jan 31, 2021FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Strengthen the partnershipThe relationship between parishes and schools is long and

intimate—important to note at the start of Catholic Schools Week.

After the first Catholic diocese was established in the United

States in Baltimore, pastors lobbied at once for schools and

religious to staff them. Frontier pastors vowed to build the school

first and the church later. They understood that without proper

religious education, the parish venture would certainly fail.

Today, celebrate this essential partnership with a holy hour,

candlelight prayer vigil, or special project in the parish for young

people and their supporters.TODAY'S READINGS: Deuteronomy 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians 7:32-35;Mark 1:21-28 (71). “What is this? A new teaching with authority.”

Monday, Feb 01, 2021Example is the best educationEach day of Catholic Schools Week is the celebration of a

component of Catholic education. Today we look at the

experience of community. Through the relationships and

interactions of service activities in the community and class trips

to other environs, students get to practice the values they learn in

their Catholic education and experience what it feels like to be

making the world a better place. Plus they get a chance to

observe others in community service and come to appreciate how

they can continue caring for others their entire lives. Today, be an

example of service to others.TODAY'S READINGS: Hebrews 11:32-40; Mark 5:1-20 (323).“[A]nnounce to them all that the Lord in his pity has done foryou.”

Tuesday, Feb 02, 2021FEAST OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD

Teach a faith that grows on youMary and Joseph bring their beloved firstborn to the temple at the

appointed time, so Jesus can enter into the covenant with Yahweh

that Jews have revered since Abraham. Not unlike infant Baptism

today, it was—among other things—a powerful ritual of

belonging that put the child on the right path to growing in faith.

As we celebrate Catholic Schools Week—with the focus today

being squarely on “the student”—may we never forget or neglect

the promise of every young soul, so receptive to our efforts to

plant the seeds of faith.TODAY'S READINGS: Malachi 3:1-4; Hebrews 2:14-18; Luke 2:22-40(524). “The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom.”

Wednesday, Feb 03, 2021One nation, under GodCatholic schools have made a unique contribution to the nation,

and today we can recognize and celebrate that contribution. At

their very best, Catholic schools train students to grow both as

members of the Catholic church and as productive citizens of the

nation. By “rendering to Caesar and to God,” Catholic schools in

the United States have managed to achieve that rare combination

in world history, the development of a relatively harmonious

church-state relationship that has endured for centuries. See the

NCEA website for suggestions on how to celebrate the nation

during Catholic Schools Week.TODAY'S READINGS: Hebrews 12:4-7, 11-15; Mark 6:1-6 (325).“Many who heard him were astonished. They said, ‘Where did thisman get all this? What kind of wisdom has been given him?’ ”

Thursday, Feb 04, 2021Line things upCatholic schools prepare students to discover their vocation, so

they can grow to use their gifts in service of church and world.

Over the years, our notion of “vocation” has broadened

significantly. A word that once designated those who take

religious vows or are ordained into ministry is now used more

broadly. No one defined vocation better than essayist and

theologian Carl Frederick Buechner: “The place God calls you to

is the place where your deep gladness and the world’s deep

hunger meet.” Are the two aligned in your life? And if not, how

can you bring them into alignment?TODAY'S READINGS: Hebrews 12:18-19, 21-24; Mark 6:7-13 (326).“Jesus summoned the Twelve and began to send them out two bytwo.”

Friday, Feb 05, 2021Thank those who opened your mindWhere would any of us be without our teachers? They did

everything from helping us with our “three R’s” to opening our

minds to new ways of seeing the world. The really great teachers

taught us how to learn for ourselves and thus set us up for a

lifetime of discovery and fulfillment. When was the last time you

thanked a teacher? Today is the day Catholic Schools Week pays

special attention to the faculty, staff, and volunteers that make it

possible for these great schools to function. See the NCEA

website for suggestions on how to give thanks and recognition.TODAY'S READINGS: Hebrews 13:1-8; Mark 6:14-29 (327). “The Lordis my helper, and I will not be afraid.”

Saturday, Feb 06, 2021Make faith a family affairWe close Catholic Schools Week by recognizing the central role

in Catholic education played by the family. The Second Vatican

Council called the family “the domestic church” because it is in

the home that faith is first formed and nurtured. Whether you live

alone or with others, your home can be a sacred space of prayer

and spirituality. Creating sacred space in your home includes

prayer and scripture readings at meal times and before bed;

praying the Rosary; placing a crucifix in a prominent place; and

family traditions based on the liturgical seasons. Look for ways to

recognize the family’s role in Catholic education and also ways to

make your home a domestic church. Have at it!TODAY'S READINGS: Hebrews 13:15-17, 20-21; Mark 6:30-34 (328).“The Apostles gathered together with Jesus and reported all theyhad done and taught.”

Invest just five minutes a day, and your faith will deepen and grow—a day at a time

THE SEASON OF HOPEBe in His comfort

WWW.COLUMBUSCATHOLIC.ORG/SEASON-OF-HOPE

PAMELA HARRIS, DIOCESAN HOPE TASK FORCE

"Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I

will give you rest." (Mt. 11:28)

I recently attended a small, intimate ecumenical prayer service, to

bring a grieving family together to offer prayers and support.

During the service we had the opportunity to offer intercessory

prayers. I would like to think this small gesture of people from the

community, some who they may never see again, was of comfort to

the family. A reminder that where 2 or 3 are gathered in His name,

Jesus is there inviting us to be present to Him.

The times in our lives when the burden of everyday life seems to

overwhelm us, the feelings of anguish, unrest, and weakness, that is

the time we need rest. We must remember that when we allow

ourselves to be still, to take a moment and declutter our minds, we

make a way to hear and receive the comforting voice that comes

from God alone. Sometimes it can happen in a whisper, a tender

voice, offering comfort in the dark moments of our lives.

Christ invites us to have an encounter with Him and trust that we

will share in his blessed assurance of peace and comfort. We can

hear His voice, He knows us, and we know Him. Just the name

alone...Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, brings comfort to a weary soul.

Even when we go through a period of a dry prayer life, when we

don't have the strength, nor desire, to pray, it is easy to think we

are far from Him.

He heals

the broken

in heart,

and binds

up their

wounds.

But, on the contrary, Jesus is with us always. We only have to seek him

out. Just because we feel that we may not sense His presence, he is

present to us. Even when we go through a period of a dry prayer life,

when we don’t have the strength, nor desire, to pray, it is easy to think

we are far from Him.

By virtue of our baptism, we are brothers and sisters in Christ. We are

called to console one another, “to encourage those who are in any

affliction with the encouragement with which we are ourselves are

encouraged by God” (2 Cor. 1:4). Intercessory prayer offers us an

opportunity to beseech God on behalf of one another. In scripture we

read about the paralyzed man who was lowered from the roof by his

friends to receive a healing from Jesus. The compassion Jesus had for

this man brought comfort to him and his friends. The paralyzed man

received more than he imagined. His soul and body were healed.

As we continue in this beautiful Christmas season, let us reflect on the

birth of Jesus and how we can reveal our inner childlike devotion to

our savior. I invite you to visualize yourself in the presence of Jesus,

and he takes his hand and draws you near to him. He invites you to

place your head gently on his chest. You find yourself to be in rhythm

with his breathing. As you inhale you take in His love and mercy, as

you exhale you let go of all your burdens. Breathe in. Breathe out.

Be in his comfort.


When did you last encounter Jesus in the silence? How did it makeyou feel? Has there ever been a time you felt distant from Jesus? If so, howdid that impact your relationship with him?Have you ever found yourself comforting a loved one? A stranger?Did you find it challenging? Rewarding? Transformative? Sit in thefeeling that stirred in you and reflect on the emotion.
