World Day for Consecrated Life
“Padre Bill”
February 2 , Feast of the Presentation of the
Lord, has also been designated as “World Day for Consecrated Life”. Pope Francis proclaimed 2015 a Year of
Consecrated Life, marking the 50th anniversary of a decree
on religious life, and Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican
Council’s constitution on the Church.
The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord is also
known as Candlemas Day; the day on which candles are blessed
symbolizing Christ who is the light of the world. So too, those in
consecrated life are called to reflect light of Jesus Christ to all
peoples.
La Fiesta de la Presentación del Señor también se
llama “La Candelaria”; es el día cuando bendecimos velas,
simbolizando a Cristo luz del mundo. Así, los consagrados
en la vida religiosa son llamados a reflejar la luz de Jesucristo
a todo el mundo.
Prayer for the Year of Consecrated Life
O God, throughout the ages you have called women and men
to pursue lives of perfect charity through the evangelical counsels
of poverty, chastity, and obedience. During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks for these courageous witnesses of
Faith and models of inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives
teaches us to make a more perfect offering of ourselves to you.
Continue to enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord Jesus Christ,
you Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Día Mundial de la Vida Consagrada
El 2 de febrero, Fiesta de la Presentación del
Señor, también es designado “Día Mundial de la Vida
Consagrada”. Papa Francisco ha proclamado el año
2015 como Año de la Vida Consagrada, celebrando el
50° aniversario de un decreto sobre la vida religiosa, y
de Lumen Gentium, documento del II Concilio
Vaticano.
nd
Oración para el Año de la Vida Consagrada
Oh Dios, tú que a través de los tiempos has llamado a
mujeres y hombres a fin de que vivan la caridad perfecta por
medio de los consejos evangélicos de la pobreza, la castidad
y la obediencia. Durante este Año de la Vida Consagrada te
damos gracias por estos modelos de inspiración. Con su
empeño por lograr la santidad ellos nos enseñan a ofrecerte
nuestra vida de manera más perfecta. Te pedimos que
continúes enriqueciendo a tu Iglesia con hijos e hijas que,
habiendo encontrado la perla de gran valor, atesoran el Reino
de los cielos por encima de todas las cosas. Por nuestro
Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la
unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los
siglos. Amén

ll were amazed and asked one another, "What is this? A
new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him." His fame spread everywhere
throughout the whole region of Galilee.

esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es ésta? Este hombre tiene
autoridad para mandar hasta a los espíritus inmundos y lo obedecen". Y muy pronto se extendió su fama por toda Galilea.

New Year’s Resolutions Check-In
Tina Poppe RN
It’s been four weeks since the turn of the
New Year. How are you doing with your
goals or resolutions? This is a good time
to pull out that piece of paper that you
jotted down those goals on. How well is it
going? Honestly! Have you made any progress toward
achieving your goals in mind, body, and spirit? If you
have made progress, even a little, record it! Celebrate it!
Be grateful for it! On the other hand, if you haven’t seen
any progress yet, acknowledge it. It’s OK! Forgive yourself for any lack of action on your part. Then move on
with new conviction. Perhaps you need to rethink your
goals, making them more realistic. Or, maybe the way you
thought you would approach achieving your goals needs
to change. It might be that you just need to focus on one
goal at a time to be successful. Whether you are eight or
eighty-eight, keep working on your goals for improvement of body, mind and spirit.
“I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to
offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to
God, your spiritual worship.” Rom 12: 1.
Catholic Schools Week
Students in Xavier Catholic Schools have completed
another Catholic Schools Week filled with prayer,
service and fun activities. We thank all our parishes for
the support you show to our Catholic Schools through
your prayer, time and financial help. We especially thank
the Priests of our city for their assistance at school
liturgies and other sacramental celebrations.
If you or someone you know is interested in a great,
faith-filled education, please contact us for more
information and a tour of our schools.
Call Xavier Catholic Schools at 735-9380.
Care Ministers Reach Out To Those In Need
Did you know there are more than 1600 Care Ministers
serving our parishes in the Diocese of Green Bay? A Care
Minister is a volunteer who is trained to go out and listen,
understand, support and pray with people in need of support during times of transition in their lives. These volunteers respond to the spiritual and emotional needs of the
bereaved, hospitalized, terminally ill, separated, divorced,
unemployed, or those facing some personal crisis.
Becoming a Care Minister is not a simple undertaking…it
requires training, leadership, and continuing education.
Your gift to the Bishop’s Appeal allows you to reach out
and care for the hurting people across our 16-county
diocese. To make a gift today contact your parish, visit
the Bishop’s Appeal website at
www.catholicfoundationgb.org/give, or call Debbie tollfree at 877-500-3580, ext. 8184.
