Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You

above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive

You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You

have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You;

never permit me to be separated from You.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament/CLOSED Due to the current

restrictions regarding group gatherings, there will be no public

adoration of the Blessed Sacrament until further notice

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>�

STEWARDSHIP

Stewards Pray “Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of

anxieties.” - 1 CORINTHIANS 7:32

How much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly worrying

about not having enough or attaining more things? God won’t necessarily

give you everything you want, but He will provide everything you need.

Try this – use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the future.

Stewards pray for things instead of worrying about them.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Is Our Lord Calling You To The Priesthood?

The Diocese of Camden is offering Discernment sessions for young men

who feel they may have a calling to serve the Lord through the

priesthood.

The sessions will be held at the Parish Offices of Our Lady of Guadalupe,

135 N. White Horse Pike, Lindenwold, N.J. The meetings begin at 2PM

and end at 3:30PM. The following dates for the discernment group are:

February 21, 2021

March 14, 2021

April 18, 2021

If you know of a young man who may be discerning a call to the

priesthood, please encourage him to come out to attend these one or all

of the above sessions.

You may also contact the Office of Vocations at the Diocese of Camden

The priest has the most important job in the world. He also has the

most powerful enemy trying to stop him from doing his work. Will

you help him in his vocation?

Please Pray for our Priests

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

If I belong to God, there is something in me that is greater

Than any evil I could ever face. What should I fear?

SAINT OF THE WEEK

St. Blaise

Feast Day February 3

Patron Saint of Choking, Veterinarians

St. Blaise’s popularity arose from the fact that he was a physician who cured, even

performing miraculous cures. He was especially sought by those suffering from

diseases of the throat. (He is credited with saving the life of a small boy who was

choking on a fishbone.). Because of his popularity, the custom of blessings throats

arose.

While we invoke St. Blaise for protection against any physical ailment of the throat,

we should also ask his protection against any spiritual ailment-profanity, cursing,

unkind remarks, detraction, or gossip. St. James reminds us, “If a man who does

not control his tongue imagines he is devout, he is self-deceived; his worship is

pointless” (1:26) and later, “We use {the tongue} to say, ‘Praised be the Lord and

Father’; then we use it to curse men, though they are made in the likeness of God.

Blessing and curse come out of the same mouth. This ought not to be, my

brothers!” (3:9-10). Therefore, may St. Blaise protect us from all evil, physical and

spiritual, which may attack the throat.

Exiit qui seminat

As I promised in my homily this past weekend, there is an important reason why

Catholics don’t know the Bible as well as our Protestant brothers and sisters. And

it has everything to do with the study of Sacred Scripture and Scripture

scholarship.

During the 19

th

century, Biblical scholarship made a shift towards the use of

modern-day techniques, called the Historical Critical Method. These scholars

used a better understanding of ancient languages and better methods of

translating, as well as other cultural and intellectual approaches to understanding

the Bible. Around that time, scholars started applying the theory of rationalism to

the discernment of texts from Sacred Scripture. Rationalism, a method that arose

in the 17

th

century, posited that opinions and beliefs should be grounded solely in

reason and what could actually be proven and not based off of religious belief or

an emotional response. Scholars applying rationalism would look at the Bible with

a critical eye on whether, according to reason, the events depicted within were

real or even possible.

These “rationalists” concluded that Sacred Scripture and the unfolding of God’s

plan of salvation was an impossibility and caused many of these scholars to

abandon their faith entirely (a very unreasonable act all in the name of reason).

Called the “Rationalist Crisis”, the Church, in order to preserve the faith of

believers, shut down Catholic scripture scholarship and purposefully dissuaded

Catholics from studying the Bible, fearing that in their own pursuit of personal

interpretation of the sacred texts they would end up abandoning the faith. From

that point on the Church would put forth the “official” interpretation of the books of

the Bible and the messages that are contained within them.

But that didn’t mean that the Catholic Church got out of the study of the Bible

using the methods of the Church Fathers and modern-day exegesis. The Church

created the Pontifical Biblical Commission in 1901 to protect and defend the

integrity of the Catholic Faith in Biblical matters, to further the progress of

exposition of the Sacred Books, taking account of all recent discoveries, to decide

controversies on grave questions which might arise among Catholic scholars, to

give answers to Catholics throughout the world who may consult the Commission,

to see that the Vatican Library was properly furnished with codices and necessary

books, and to publish studies on Scripture as occasion might demand.

While the work of the Commission has changed greatly in the past 120 years, it

was the start of the Church getting back in the game of serious Scripture

scholarship and helping Catholics to better know the “Word of God in the words of

man.” And now there are a lot of Catholic commentaries and study Bibles to help

the faithful navigate the development of the Bible. We’ll have a list of some of my

favorites in next week’s bulletin!

Sincerely yours in Christ (and read your Bible!),

Fr. Rob Sinatra
