OUR PRIESTS
OUR DEACONS
We continue to pray for all those who are ill
and suffering from COVID-19.
As well as for an end to this pandemic.
Bishop Parkes has mailed all parishioners an invitation to participate in the 2021 Annual Pastoral Ap-peal (APA). Please review the brochure that comes with the mailing and learn more about the good works of our local Church made possible by APA. This year the theme for APA is: Hope in the Lord, a message that states who we are and how our hope gives us strength. In the last year, our parish has witnessed the saving grace hope can be when faced with immense difficulty. Our people have demonstrated that by refocusing on our hope in our Lord, we can all make a difference to someone less fortunate. Giving to the Annual Pastoral Appeal is an additional way we can extend hope to others. Through APA, we reach beyond ourselves and our parish, and extend hope to thousands through the ministries, programs and services that enrich a Christ-centered way of life. To learn more about how our diocesan ministries continue serving in Christ’s name, visit our diocesan website at www.dosp.org/ or follow our diocese on social media @DioStPete and discover something new about our local Church outreach. Together, let’s pray that the Holy Spirit will guide our journey and bestow His grace upon us as we extend that hope to others. Our parish Commitment Weekend is on February 6 and 7. Please bring your commitment card from home or pick-up an in-pew pledge envelope at Mass and come prepared to participate and courageously be part of the Good Works of our diocese.

WHY DO WE DO THAT? Catholic Life Explained
Question:
In Year B, we hear primarily from the Gospel of Mark. Since each Evangelist has a unique per-spective, what are the key issues that Mark addresses in his Gospel?
Answer:
Gospels are a particular faith community's reflection on Jesus. Each Gospel's author reflected that communi-ty's faith in Jesus. Jesus' message is made relevant to the commu-nity's situation and context. Mark was the first Gospel to be writ-ten. When Matthew and Luke wrote theirs, they imitated and adapted Mark for their communities. Mark's Gospel seems to be addressed to a faith community under-going turmoil, rejection, and persecution--forces that threaten to overwhelm them. This provides the context around which Mark fashions the story of Jesus. He presents Jesus as the One sent by God to confront the forces of evil. That is the good news of Jesus. Jesus' struggle with the demonic forces leads to confrontation, rejection, outright opposition, and a conspiracy to do away with him. Realizing this, Jesus is not deterred. Rather Jesus calls for total faith in God who helps us to overcome the forces of evil. Suf-fering and even death seem to be the consequences of this strug-gle. Yet, that is not the end. The one who suffers for the sake of others, the suffering servant, will be the one through whom re-demption and salvation will come to all. For Mark, this is what discipleship demands and what true faith in God can and will ac-complish. See if you can detect these themes as you read Mark's Gospel.
Pope Francis Prayer Intention for January
Evangelization— Human Fraternity
May the Lord give us the grace to
live in full fellowship with our broth-ers and sisters of other religions,
praying for one another, open to all.
THE INAUGURATION Mark describes the beginning of Jesus’ ministry with his procla-mation that the “kingdom of God is at hand.” The rest of Mark’s Gospel—all of Jesus’ preaching and healing, his death and resur-rection—describes the inauguration of this kingdom of God. For Mark, the life of Jesus is the center point of history, where every-thing leads up to Jesus, and everything follows from Jesus. Mark then tells us that the first disciples follow Jesus immediately and wholeheartedly. They leave their work and family, all for Jesus. Because compared to Jesus and the life he offers, everything else is secondary. Perhaps our invitations from God do not entail such dramatic life changes. But all who follow Jesus are called to align our life and values with his ways of love. As we continue to mature in love and in faith, we might ask: What needs to be renewed, re-oriented, or discarded in light of our life in Christ?
“Mercy is the true face of love” —Pope Francis

The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. — Mark 1:15
Music Ministry The last several months have been unprecedented for all of us in so many ways. Our daily lives have been turned upside down due to the coronavirus, and our music ministry, too, has been affected. As soon as we entered the period of quarantine, all of our music ministries were sus-pended. Since the Third Sunday of Lent (March 15), we have been celebrating Mass without choirs, cantors, or instrumental-ists. I’ve been leading the music alone, as part of our live stream and now as we begin having public gatherings for Sun-day Mass, I will continue leading the music by myself for the time being. I am grateful for all those who participate in our music ministry, and I am disappointed that we have had to cut our time short this season due to COVID-19. I hope that all who have been faithful members of music ministry for so many years will rejoin when our programs are able to safely resume. So when we will have cantors and choirs back for Sunday Mass? The answer right now, the best I can say is I don’t know. Most of the guidelines that the Church is adhering to right now, strongly discourage choirs. Vigorous singing contrib-utes 6x the amount of aerosol particles in the air, which can very easily spread virus. I’m hopeful as we successfully return to public Mass on Sunday, I can use the cantors and instrumen-talists along with myself to lead music. When we do this, we will do so observing social distancing and other precautions. So we will wait and see, and pray for the best as we resume Sunday Mass. May God bless you and keep you safe.

Are you a fisher of men?
“Jesus said to them, ‘Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.’” – Mark 1:17 The year 2020 was a difficult year for many. Racial and political unrest and a global pandemic made it historic and memorable for all the wrong reasons. It also made us hope for a new year of change and opportunity. More than 2000 years ago, Simon and Andrew were struggling fisher-man, just trying to make a living while under the rule of the Roman gov-ernment and religious authorities. Their lives revolved around fish – catching and selling them. That was their present and their future reality.
Not really much to hope for when you think about it. That is until they encounter Jesus. From that moment forward, their lives would change forever. Jesus offers them a new outlook on life, a future of hope, new opportunity and a brighter tomorrow. They make the decision to aban-don their nets and follow Jesus.
Many people feel trapped in their current reality. Career goals, societal pressures and family responsibilities can make life difficult and challeng-ing. We often look for short term solutions that we think will bring us happiness and fulfillment. But, in the end, they only leave us feeling more empty. But there’s a different path we can follow – a path that leads to ultimate and eternal happiness. It’s the path of following Jesus Christ. Jesus’s invitation to Simon, Andrew, James and John is also ex-tended to us. Come, follow me.
I know that many are already following Jesus. You have a good life, at-tend church regularly and do charitable works. But are you a fisher of men as Jesus says? Do you give good example to others by the way you live your life? Do you invite others to a relationship with Jesus Christ by sharing the Good News?
Our mission is to proclaim Jesus Christ, invite others to follow Him, and to see His presence in those we encounter. It’s not too late to embark on a different path as we begin this new year. Bishop Gregory Parkes

LA INAUGURACIÓN Marcos describe el comienzo del ministerio de Jesús con su proclamación de “el Reino de Dios está cerca”. En todo el resto del Evangelio de Marcos, toda la predicación y curaciones, su muerte y resurrección, se describe la inauguración de este Reino de Dios. Para Marcos, la vida de Jesús es el punto central de la historia, donde todo lleva a Jesús, y todo continua con Jesús. Luego Marcos nos dice que los primeros discípulos siguieron a Jesús inmediatamente y de todo corazón. Ellos dejan sus traba-jos y familia, todo por Jesús. Porque comparado con Jesús y la vida que ofrece, todo lo demás es secundario. Tal vez nuestras invitaciones de Dios no implican cambios de vida tan dramáticos. Pero todos los que siguen a Jesús están llamados a orientar su vida y valores con su sentido de amor. A medida que continuamos madurando en el amor y en la fe, po-dríamos preguntarnos: ¿Qué necesita ser renovado, reorientado o desechado a la luz de nuestra vida en Cristo?

LEARN ABOUT OUR CATHOLIC FAITH
If you want to . . . ♦ be on a Spiritual Journey ♦ be Baptized ♦ Join the Church ♦ become Catholic ♦ receive Communion with your spouse and/or family ♦ received Confirmation & Holy Eucharist as a Baptized Catholic
If any of these apply, RCIA is just what you need! The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (R.C.I.A.) is the process for initi-ating adults into the Sacramental Life of the Catholic Church. It is a process designed for adults who have never been bap-tized or who have been baptized in other Christian faiths who are seeking full communion with the Catholic Church.
The process includes four periods, three major rites:
1. Pre-Catechumenate (Inquiry Process) 2. Catechumenate 3. Full Initiation 4. Mystagogy (Action)
Other rituals also mark a person’s journey toward faith and full initiation into the Catholic Church.
RCIA is Not just for those who want to be Cathol ic .
This program is a powerful way to enter into a new level of learning the Richness and Teachings of the Catholic
Church.
If today you hear the voice of GOD, harden not your hearts! Please Call!

Courageously Growing Together in Christ!
MAKING A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION BY FATHER RON AUBIN
If for whatever reason, you are not able to attend Mass and receive Jesus in Holy Communion, then I encourage you to make a spiritual communion, or better yet, make your entire day a spiritual communion with Jesus. There are several web sites, listed below, that explain how to do just that. But my favorite prayer for maintaining a spiritu-al communion with Jesus is the Prayer of Saint Patrick, also known as the Breastplate of Saint Patrick: https://www.ourcatholicprayers.com/st-atricksbreastplate.html I’ve adapted this prayer to suit my own spiritual needs and my version goes something like this:
Christ be with me, within in me, before me, behind me, beneath me, above me.
Christ be on my right, and on my left. Christ be in my heart, in my mind, in my soul, and in every fiber of my
being. Christ be in my thoughts, in my words, and in my actions.
Christ be in my eyes (what I see), my ears (what I hear), on my lips (what I say),
in my hands (what I do) and in my feet (where I go). Christ be in my sleeping, in my waking, and in all my doing.
I love Jesus, be with me today, that I might be with you forever.

Saint Michael’s Ministry As we reopen the Church and our Campus to the Faithful and Parish friends and visitors this Christmas Season, Saint Michael’s Ministry will be there to help keep our community safe. This vital ministry helps provide for safety and
security of everyone who visits here at OLOR, but we desperate-ly need new volunteers to help at our masses, at Young Disci-ples, Edge, and Life Teen. If you have been involved and would like to come back in Janu-ary, or if you are new and would like to help in some capacity, please send an email to [email protected] or call the office (813) 949-4565. We need volunteers for our SAT (Safety helpers) SRT (Law en-forcement and military background) and MRT (Medical and nursing background) to assist with keeping the children on campus safe while they learn about their faith and to assist and protect all visitors here at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish.
