’ www.mostholytrinityministries.org GOD CALLS US BEYOND OUR COMFORT ZONE Jeremiah was familiar with the constant energy it took to hold the nation together under the leadership of kings and princes, priests and people. But in contemplation Jeremiah feels called to be a prophet to other nations. Daily prayer in youth creates an inspired tension within one‟s own culture and begins a new interest in other languages and lands. Tradition, warns God, can lead to you being crushed but as you stand up to local pride, prejudice will not prevail “for I AM with you to deliver you” says the Lord. CELEBRATION OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE LORD Sunday, January 31st after the 11 a.m. Bilingual Mass in the school cafeteria for a luncheon, ALL ARE WELCOME!!! With the nudging of the Holy Spirit, Jesus begins his ministry by proclaiming the scroll from Isaiah to liberate the captives as a here and now mandate of Sacred Scripture, in order to fulfill God‟s will formed in our destiny, even before birth. All hell broke loose in the congregation which furiously raged against Jesus. REPENT AND BELIEVE St. Peter loved his mother‟s culture of Judaism, but St. Paul grew up in a port, rubbing elbows with mariners from many ships and nations. Paul grows into his missionary destiny after confessing his “jealousy, inflated pompousness, his brooding rudeness and self-interest and quicktemperedness.” He is confronted by the Risen Christ. Knocked off of his high horse, Paul discovers love through Christ‟s patience and unfailing kindness. CONSTRUYENDO UNA VERDADERA COMUNIDAD Cuando miramos a los relatos de llamadas de Dios, nos sorprende ver que, la mayoría de las veces, Dios elige a personas aparentemente insignificantes y con pocas calificaciones para la misión que les encarga. Lo que dios trata de hacer ver es que el que se realice su misión en el mundo depende de la disposición de la persona, no tanto de sus calificaciones para el cargo. Depende de la obediencia, disponibilidad y amor con que se le responda a Dios; y, fundamentalmente, de la promesa de Dios, de estar siempre con el enviado, el elegido. Nos convendría entonces recordar la promesa: No temas. Yo estaré contigo. Si es así, no hay obstáculo ni excusa lo suficientemente fuerte como para detener a la persona que se siente llamada por Dios. Como Jeremías, puede expresar sus reservas; pero al fin, lo que vence es esa promesa. CSA MINUTE National Catholic Schools Week “Catholic Schools: Communities of Faith, Knowledge, and Service” is the theme of National Catholic Schools Week 2016, the annual celebration that begins this Sunday, January 31, to focus attention on the good work of the nation‟s Catholic schools. Our Catholic elementary and high schools integrate faith and values into every aspect of students‟ educational experiences, to ensure they are educated wholly, in mind, body, and spirit. Catholic school students are encouraged to think and act according to the mind and heart of Jesus Christ. Your gifts to the Catholic Services Appeal allow the archdiocesan Office for Catholic Schools to help our Catholic schools provide their students with exceptional academic training while continuing the teaching mission of Jesus Christ. The office, which is part of the Department of Evangelization, Catechesis and Schools, offers resources for teachers and principals, parents and students, and alumni.

Vol. 183 No. 10 From the Mind and Heart of Deacon Chris… Our second reading this Sunday is from St Paul‟s First Letter to the Corinthians. Sometimes this is called the „Wedding Epistle‟. This is one of the most common readings used at weddings, and is one of St Paul‟s most poetic passages. The Church of Corinth was new; it was just starting out. In order to jump start the Church it appears the Spirit blessed its members with different spiritual gifts -- prophecy and faith. People being people though, the Corinthians started arguing on which one of these gifts were the greatest. St Paul uses an interesting technique in diffusing this argument. St. Paul doesn‟t get into the mix, instead he comes out of left field with the response, ‘if I speak in human and angelic tongues but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing symbol’. What does it mean when St Paul says, ‘love is patient, and love is kind‟? Many times in family relationships we have to endure different situations. Marital problems can be tough. Those of you who have raised children, teenagers and even adult children realize it‟s not always a bed of roses. Sometimes I‟ve felt walking with our children though those different stages of life that I‟ve bit my tongue so many times I only have about half of it left. That‟s what it means when St Paul says, „love is patient’. ‘Love is kind.’ What do we mean by kindness? Are we just thinking of a grandmother kissing the ouch on a small child‟s arm? Kindness is how we choose to relate to people. We can choose to overpower, to manipulate, and to insist on our own way; or, we can choose to serve, to be carrying and gentle. Years ago this phase was popular, “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty." Getting beyond ourselves, and not thinking just of myself, but the other person. Love is not a feeling. It is not something we fall into and it is not something we fall out of. Love is a decision to act a certain way whether that be to our marriage partner, our family, friends or neighbor. Love is a commitment, not just to another person, but to ourselves. Love is hard work and requires hard work. Have a Blessed Week… HEALING MASS STE. ANNE’S CHURCH TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 2ND 11:30 A.M. anointing of the sick and a lunch afterwards. Desde la Mente y Corazon del Diacono Chris.... Nuestra segunda lectura de este Domingo es de la primera carta de San Pablo a los Corintios. A veces esto es llamado como la "Epístola de boda '. Esta es una de la lectura más común utilizada en las bodas, y es uno de los pasajes más poéticos de San Pablo. La iglesia de Corinto era nueva, estaba empezando. Para dar un buen comienzo parece que la iglesia dio bendiciones del espíritu a sus miembros con diferentes dones espirituales, profecía y la fe. Las personas siendo personas, los Corintios comenzaron a argumentar cual de estos regalos fueron el más grande. San Pablo utiliza una técnica interesante en la difusión de este argumento. San Pablo no entrar en la mezcla, en cambio sale de campo de la izquierda con la respuesta, Si yo hable en lenguas humanas y angélicas y no tengo amor, Soy una rotunda burla o un símbal estrellado'. Qué significa cuando dice que San Pablo, ' el amor es paciente, y el amor es bueno'? Muchas veces en nuestras relaciones familiares que tenemos soportamos diferentes situaciones. Problemas maritales pueden ser difíciles. Aquellos de ustedes que han planteado los niños, adolescentes y niños incluso adultos se dan cuenta que no siempre es un lecho de rosas. A veces me he sentido caminando con nuestros hijos, aunque las diferentes etapas de la vida que he mordido mi lengua tantas veces sólo tengo alrededor de la mitad de él. Es lo que significa cuando dice que San Pablo, 'el amor es paciente'. 'El amor es bueno'. Qué entendemos por bondad? Estamos pensando en una beso la abuela, el ¡Ay! en el brazo de un niño pequeño? Bondad es cómo elegimos para relacionarse con personas. Podemos elegir a, manipular, y a insistir en nuestro propio camino; o, podemos optar por servir, ser medios de transporte y buenos. Hace años esta fase era popular, "Practica la amabilidad y actos de instantaneos de la belleza." Nunca pensando de nosotros mismos, y mas alla de nosotros, pero pensando en las otras personas. Amor no es un sentimiento. No es algo que nos caemos y no es algo que salimos afuera del amor. El amor es una decisión para actuar de cierta manera ya sea a nuestra pareja de matrimonio, nuestra familia, amigos o vecinos. El amor es un compromise, no sólo a otra persona, pero a nosotros mismos. Amor es un trabajo duro y requiere trabajo duro.

This was the vision of Fr. William Cunningham and Eleanor Jositis who contemplated their response to the 1967 Detroit insurrection riots. What is family in the Church of the Archdiocese? Eight mile is a recognized “outer drive” as has been the dividing line between Detroit’s Alter Road and Grosse Point Park. St. Ambrose Parish embraces today’s prophesy to stand up with all nations and cultures with the Good News. The racial barrier is crossed every Christmas by parishioners from St. Paul’s Grosse Pointe and Children in Southwest Detroit who celebrate Christ with presents of warm homemade blankets. There is a spiritual “mutuality” among urban and suburban priests and people which is rooted in the prophetic scriptural readings such as we hear today. We need a financial equality among parishes to make sense of a Synod on the Family. If we look at the financial commitment religious orders make when they deploy their personnel we can overcome parochial “sink or swim” attitudes which afflict so many modern families. The transformation of urban financial projections into thriving mission-driven sanctuaries is the expressed “fortified city” reaching into Jeremiah’s writing today, where God’s destiny for us heard loud and clear.
