Total Love or Nothing
In his homily at the canonization of Arch Bishop Oscar Romero, Pope Francis said, “Jesus is radical. He gives all and he asks all: he gives a love that is total and asks for an undivided heart. Even today he gives himself to us as the living bread; can we give him crumbs in exchange? We cannot respond to him, who made himself our servant even going to the cross for us, only by observing some of the commandments. We cannot give him, who offers us eternal life, some odd moment of time. Jesus is not content with a ‘percentage of love’: we cannot love him twenty or fifty or sixty percent. It is either all or nothing.”
Flipped-out Pharisees
The Gospel reading for this Sunday is not only the first miracle in John’s Gospel–it is also John’s first mention of Jesus’ mother. I used to find it odd that he addressed her as “Woman.” But in that time the word was more respectful; it could even be affectionate. Jesus does help as his mother requested, but he does so in a way that is a lesson about God’s love.
You have probably heard how the Jewish people in Jesus’ time performed purification rituals before eating anything. The cleansings were a sign that they wanted to be like God, completely free from sin. Eventually, it came to mean that you could not approach God until you cleansed yourself. Jesus could have made the wine in bottles or wineskins. But he used the “six stone water jars there for Jewish ceremonial washings” (John 2:6). That meant that once they were full of wine, no one could wash themselves from the jars. I wonder how many Pharisees flipped out when they saw that.
The point of this is that no one can cleanse themselves. We don’t purify ourselves in order to come to God– we come to God to be purified. God is the only one who can make us holy. God offers this to sinners especially, because sinners who know they need forgiveness are the only ones to receive it. God never forces mercy on anyone. It is offered to those who ask for it. the amount of wine symbolizes the extent of God’s mercy. As there was now more than enough wine for the wedding, God has more than enough mercy for those who need it. Wine is also a symbol of joy in the Old Testament. There is no greater joy than knowing that you have been forgiven by the Lord.

The family of Adelyn Jones still needs your prayers.
Adelyn’s mommy & daddy – Olivia & Eric Jones, are still asking everyone to pray for their 4 year old daughter who was diagnosed the summer of 2017 with leukemia. Adelyn is doing as well as can be expected, considering all the drugs she’s on, but she still needs your prayers. She still has a long road ahead of her that she has to continue to meet with her doctors and more visits to the hospital for such things as lumbar punctures, intrathecal chemo injections in her spine, and bone marrow aspirations.

Classes begin in September. Please contact Kelly at the parish office at 542-3423 if you are interested.

PSR & Youth News . . .
The PSR teachers and students would like to saythank you to the secret Santa’s who were so generous this year! We all appreciate it very much. Thank you again for thinking of all of us.Our class times are busy – we go to mass, work on our lessons, and enjoy some fun activities. Our 8th graders are preparing for Confirmation which is April 26th. We have some 4th graders who will soon be new altar servers at mass, they are doing great. Our next class is February 2nd.
We are very excited about the upcoming Lock In on Sunday, January 20th! It will start at 7 pm and we will attend mass on Monday morning at 6:45 am and that will end the Lock In. All students grade 7th through high school are invited to attend, and please bring friends! We ask that the kids bring a snack to share with everyone or a bottle of soda. Pizza will be provided as well as donuts. We will have games, music, & movies. Kids should dress comfortable and bring sleeping bags if they wish. We will have more information later. Can’t wait to see you there!!
The Beginning Of His Signs.
Empty vessels + Lots of water + Jesus’ action = Plenty good wine. His first of many signs takes place at Cana. Goodness always results when Jesus acts among us; loving us as a groom (Jesus) loves the bride (us). And Saint Paul lists other good signs, other spiritual gifts shared with us. These varied baptismal charisms (no one has them all) are gifts of the same Holy Spirit and Christ and God.
• Can I count at least one way God is active in my life each day this week?
• If someone asks me to do something (as Mary does today), even if I think I am not ready (as Jesus says at Cana), will I do it? What will I do?
• I will surely see someone in need this week. How will I act?

Tolton: From Slave to Priest, an original one-man drama.
This professional production will be presented in the Cathedral of St. Peter on Friday, February 1 at 7:00 pm.
Audiences encounter the life and message of Fr. Augustus Tolton, the first African American Catholic priest — who has roots in our own area!
Fr. Tolton faced prejudice in his life; however, he felt that the Catholic Church was the antidote to discrimination. “It was the priests of the Church who taught me to pray and to forgive my persecutors,” he said. “We should welcome all people into the Church, not send them away.” Fr. Tolton’s canonization cause is at the Vatican.
The February 1 performance is free.
