A PARISH MISSION St. Daniel s will be hosting a Parish Mission on March 6, 7 & 8. Friar Johnpaul Cafiero, OFM will lead the mission entitled No Greater Love : Reflections on the Seven Last Words of Jesus. Friar Johnpaul will lead us in reflections in an engaging and informative style. His storytelling and humor bring to life the message of Jesus words to us, his disciples today. Topics such as: faith and doubt, addictions and conversion, depression and surrender, death and new life will be explored. This mission will be an enjoyable and faith strengthening experience for junior high students through senior citizens. Mark your calendar, and plan to bring a friend or family member for an hour and a half they will not soon forget. Hospitality will be served after the service. THE CALL TO PRAYER Let us pause to take time out for a few minutes of prayer. The Lord be with you. And also with you. A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew: Jesus said to his disciples: You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father. Reflection Question: When does God s light shine forth in me? Group Discussion or Meditation: Say the Our Father ATTENTION ALL PARISH ORGANIZATIONS: INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO REQUEST ST. DANIEL S GYM FOR AN EVENT Any parish organization that would like to use the gym for an event or activity may pick up a GYM USAGE AGGREEMENT FORM at the rectory.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

In addition to hosting Valentine s Day, February is recognized as American Heart Month. Heart disease is still the number one cause of death in our country. Elevated cholesterol (especially LDL) is one of the risk factors for heart disease which we can modify. Do you know your cholesterol value? If it is elevated, there are several things you can do to reduce it. First, if you are overweight, lose weight. An aerobic exercise program can be a big help in both weight loss and cholesterol reduction! Second, eat a diet with less saturated fat, less fat, and less cholesterol. Finally, faithfully take any cholesterol-lowering medications as prescribed.

6 Page 6 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 6, ARCHDIOCESAN ANNUAL CATHOLIC APPEAL BEGINS...seek first the kingdom of God... (Matthew 6:33) Many of our parishioners either have or soon will receive a mailing from Cardinal George. He will ask that you make a pledge to the 2011 Annual Catholic Appeal. Please respond generously. The Appeal supports parish ministries that provide religious education to children, youth, and adults in economically disadvantaged communities. It is also one of the largest philanthropic sources of financial support for Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese. The Appeal also funds services that are of great help to other ministries here in our parish. This year, the theme of the Appeal is...seek first the kingdom of God... (Matthew 6:33). Jesus taught that we are not to worry about the things of this world. Rather, we are to seek the kingdom of God and the Father will reward us. God provides all that we have and all that we are. Stewardship, in part, is the recognition of God s gifts and the obligation to return a significant portion of our gifts to assist in his work. Our gifts to our parish, to our Archdiocese and the Church throughout the world are given in gratitude for what God has given us. A gift to the Annual Catholic Appeal helps to provide education, services, and ministry to thousands within and outside of our Archdiocese. Please prayerfully consider making a significant pledge to the 2011 Annual Catholic Appeal.

7 6 Luty, ta Niedziela Zwykla Page 7 Sól i światło Panie, Boże nasz, Ty sprawiłeś, że tylu chrześcijan było pochodnią rozświetlająca mroki tego świata, dozwól i nam kroczyć z zapalonym sercem, abyśmy byli solą chroniącą od zepsucia grzechu. Dlaczego uczniowie Jezusa, czyli także my, jesteśmy nazwani solą ziemi oraz światłem dla świata? Wcale nie dlatego, że jesteśmy doskonali. Raczej dlatego, że możemy przekazywać wiarę i światło Chrystusa. Żyjąc w pełni życiem otrzymanym od Boga, dajemy innym nadzieję, miłość, aby mogli odkryć nowość życia, które płynie od Jezusa. Zadanie niesienia światła i przemieniania świata, nadawania nowego smaku życiu nie jest łatwe. Co więcej, ta misja jest niezwykle trudna. Nie wszyscy są w stanie ją wypełnić. Dlatego Chrystus mówi o świetle, które gaśnie, i soli, która traci smak. Aby nie utracić tego, co ważne, powinniśmy kształtować swe życie według Ewangelii. Święty Bernard mawiał: Każda rzecz, którą słucham czy czytam, jest dla mnie bez smaku, jeśli nie znajduję w niej imienia Jezus. 11 Luty-Swiatowy Dzien Chorych Kiedy więc ktokolwiek z nas, drodzy bracia i siostry, gdziekolwiek na tej ziemi, jest wezwany ludzkim cierpieniem, niech mu stanie przed oczyma Chrystus, który mówi do setnika: "Przyjdę i uzdrowię go". Nieraz onieśmiela nas to, że nie możemy "uzdrowić", że nie możemy pomóc. Przezwyciężajmy to onieśmielenie. Ważne jest, żeby przyjść. Żeby być przy człowieku cierpiącym. Może nawet bardziej jeszcze niż uzdrowienia, potrzebuje on człowieka, ludzkiego serca, ludzkiej solidarności.

Cortez Bingo WEEK #2 Captain: Jeff Kelly Caller: Arlene Glogowski Workers: Vicki Urbanski Kitchen: Judy Rios, Chris Courtney FEAST OF FAITH ~ The Gloria (1) The Gloria, or Glory to God, follows the penitential rite. Both are acts of praise. In the penitential rite, we sing of the mercy of Christ. In the Gloria we praise God s saving action in the universe. The Gloria is a relatively late addition to the Mass. It first appeared in the Roman liturgy in the sixth century, and then it was sung only by the pope - and only on Christmas! With time, the hymn came to be sung by bishops on major feasts, and then by priests; finally, it became the song of the entire assembly. With the advent of more elaborate musical settings, the people gradually stopped singing the Gloria, until this song of the people became the exclusive domain of the priest and the choir. But the liturgical reforms have restored it to its place as primarily the song of the assembly. The language of the Gloria echoes the New Testament canticles. It may be begun by the priest, the cantor, and the entire assembly in varied combinations. The Gloria is sometimes called the greater doxology, and in some ways it is like an extended, ecstatic version of the familiar doxology ( Glory be to the Father ) prayed in the Divine Office and the rosary.
