PARISH MISSION STATEMENT

Rooted in one baptism and many ethnic

traditions, All Saints Parish celebrates,

cultivates, and grows knowledge and faith

to love and serve both God and neighbor.

Pastoral Council 2013

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

We are now back in Ordinary Time and our Mass readings shift to a

reflection on the public ministry of Jesus.

We begin Ordinary Time in Year A with St. John’s Gospel because it

refers to the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry from St. John’s

perspective. Last week we heard from St. Matthew (as this is year

A); John’s version is included here because this is where it fits in the

cycle of readings. St. John’s Gospel is often considered the most

mystical and symbolic of the Gospels. There are many different

ways to read Sacred Scripture. We primarily read them from a literal

sense and from a spiritual sense. When we read the Scripture

literally, we read it as an historical account of a Biblical event. When

it comes to the Gospels, this means that we look at the life of Christ

from a historical perspective. As part of this reading, it is important

to understand the cultural context of the writing especially, for this

greatly affects how we view the events and words spoken by

individuals in the Gospel. For example, something as simple as feet

washing holds much greater cultural significance for first century

Jews than it does for 21

st

century Americans.

Understanding the spiritual sense of Scripture makes the Word of

God come alive. There are three main ways to read Scripture

spiritually. The first is the allegorical sense. This is when we read

the scriptures in such a way that they point to other realities. We

see the Scriptures as symbolic and events as pointing to other

events in the life of Christ. This is especially used by Christians in

their understanding of the Old Testament. For example, when we

read the account of Abraham responding to the will of God to

sacrifice his son Isaac, we understand it allegorically as a

representation of God the Father sending His Son Jesus to be

sacrificed for our sins. The difference is that God stays Abrahams

hand in sacrificing Isaac. Jesus is sacrificed on the cross. There are

even allegories found in the New Testament. For example, the blood

and water flowing from the side of Christ on the cross symbolizes

Baptism and the Holy Eucharist, which gain their power from the

cross.

We also read the Scripture in a moral (or tropological) way. In other

words, we look at how the Scripture speaks to us as individuals and

how we should live our lives. The teachings of Jesus are critical in

(Fr’s letter is continued inside)

(Fr. Recker’s letter Continued)

this respect. The moral teachings of Moses and the prophets

in the Old Testament are also very important in this regard

(consider the Ten Commandments). St. Paul has many

moral exhortations in his writings as he takes the teachings

of the Church and applies them to the pagan cultures found

in Greek and Roman culture (for example, his First Letter to

the Corinthians).

Finally, we have what is called the anagogical sense of the

Scriptures. This relates the Scriptures to the sense of

heavenly glory. Heaven is a reflection of the glory of God.

As Jesus is God, we see then hints of heaven found

throughout the Gospels and Scripture as a whole.

With all of this in mind, let us consider these four senses of

Scripture in relation to St. John’s Gospel for this 2

nd

Sunday

of Ordinary Time in Year A (this is only a sampling, much

more could be written):

Literal Sense: St. John the Baptist testifies that

Jesus is the One sent by God and whom he baptized and

upon which the Holy Spirit descended.

Allegorical Sense: St. John cries out “Behold the

Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world”. Lambs

are symbolically rich in Jewish culture, as lambs are sacrificed

at the Temple, and especially for the Passover Feast. The

sacrifice of the lamb begins the Exodus journey for the

people of Israel from slavery in Egypt to the freedom of the

Promised Land. The sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God,

begins the new Exodus, from slavery to sin to the true

Promised Land of heaven.

Moral Sense: St. John the Baptist teaches us that

Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit. This baptism is

distinct from the baptism of repentance taught and practiced

by St. John the Baptist. This new baptism, the Sacrament of

Baptism, invites me to live a new life in the power of the Holy

Spirit; as a Christian I should invite the Holy Spirit into my

life every day to guide my actions according to the desire of

the Father.

Anagogical Sense: St. John the Baptist says, “A

man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he

existed before me”. This is Jesus. Jesus is the only human

being who ever preexisted. We come into being when we are

conceived in the wombs of our mothers. Jesus, the Son of

God, always existed because as God He is eternal. He takes

on human flesh at the Annunciation, but has always existed.

As a human being, Jesus is younger than St. John the

Baptist, since He was conceived after John, and is thus his

younger cousin. As God, Jesus is eternal, and thus more

ancient than the universe itself. Reflecting on these words

leads to understand the glory of Jesus, yet also the humility

He shows us in humbling Himself to be baptized by His cousin

John.

My hope is that by outlining these ways of reading Scripture,

we can look at the Word of God with new insights and ways

of applying the teachings of Christ to our lives.

God bless you,

Fr. Recker

PLEASE JOIN US FOR OUR

PARISH MISSION

Featuring Nationally Renowned Catholic Lay

Evangelist and Protestant Clergy Convert

Michael J. Cumbie

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday:

February 10,11,12, 2020 at 7:00 p.m.

From the heart of the Deep South, steeped in

Evangelical fundamentalist traditions and

very anti Catholic, Michael Cumbie underwent

a dramatic conversion to Catholicism. He now

travels the nation teaching and preaching the

very truths that he despised. Michael is

dedicated to tearing down the walls that

divide non-Catholic Christians from the Holy Catholic

Church. We invite you to come and experience these

inspirational and possibly life-changing talks.

Refreshments & social time following each night.

To view a video of Michael on YouTube go to the following

For more information call the Parish Office 419-666-1393.

JANUARY 22-DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE LEGAL

PROTECTION OF UNBORN CHILDREN

This Wednesday, January 22, the Church in the United

States observes the annual “Day of Prayer for the Legal

Protection of Unborn Children.” This day is set aside to pray

for the legal protection of human life and to do penance for

the violations to human dignity through abortion. We are

called to observe this day through prayer and penance. More

informatHealing after Abortion.

EVERYDAY STEWARDSHIP - RECOGNIZE

GOD IN YOUR ORDINARY MOMENTS

Play That One Again

How many times have you sung the church song, “Here I

Am, Lord”? If you grew up Catholic and are around my age

(still 50!), the answer is more than you can count. The song

that quotes various verses of Scripture is sung using guitar,

piano, or organ, by cantors and choirs, in traditional and

modern churches. It is truly a Catholic greatest hit of the

modern Church. The question is how many times when

singing the refrain have you really taken to heart what you

were singing.

“Here I am, Lord; is it I, Lord? I have heard you calling in

the night.” Like the biblical figure Samuel, we are responding

to the call of God by asking for clarification that we are

indeed the one being called. We then follow up the question

with a profound statement: “I will go if You lead me.” It is

profound because we are pledging to our God that we are

willing to go wherever He wants. We are accepting the

challenge put forth in the U.S. Bishops’ pastoral letter,

“Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response,” to become mature

disciples who respond to the call of Jesus Christ regardless of

the cost. We have sung this pledge repeatedly for many

years.

We never have any idea what God will call us to do and

where to go. Sometimes the request can ask us for quite a

lot. Hopefully, we respond like a mature disciple. If not,

maybe we should reflect more the next time this song is

played. The melody will not allow for the words, “I will see if

I am busy and then decide to go if you lead me.” Then

again, I don’t want to sing that to God, the source of all life

anyway. Do you? — Tracy Earl Welliver, MTS

JOIN TOGETHER IN VOICE:

MAKE A JOYOUS NOISE UNTO THE LORD!

Please come to sing and enjoy the companionship of fellow

singers in the All Saints community. The choir meets on

Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the choir room and will sing at

many 11 a.m. Masses during the school year.

Please join us. All are welcomed. If you are

interested please contact Betsy Nonnenmacher

at [email protected] or

see me after any of the Masses.

SCRIPTURE STUDY- ARE YOU PREPARED

FOR SUNDAY MASS?

All Saints Adult Faith Formation Team (AFF) hosts a

weekly session to prepare for Sunday Liturgy. For

these sessions we use a variety of resources to

meditate more deeply on the Sunday

readings. Please join us on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 p.m.

(usually in the Steinbauer Community Room -SCR).

SHOW THEM WE CARE—MILITARY PACKAGES

The Show Them We Care ministry would like to thank

everyone for their ongoing support for our military men and

women, and invite you to join us at one of our upcoming

meetings. We usually meet on the 4

th

Monday of the month

at 6:30 p.m. in the Steinbauer Community Room, when we

share stories, pack care packages and pray for the soldiers

(and their families). Upcoming meeting dates are: January

27, February 24 and March 23.

Please note that the red, white and blue mailbox in the back

of the narthex is for “Notes to a Soldier.” Blank note cards

and pens will be available for parishioners to write a note of

support and place it in the mailbox. Notes will be collected

each month and included in our care packages. Please

contact Kathy or Jim McVicker if you have any

questions: 419-666-5615 or [email protected].

LIVE THE LITURGY - INSPIRATION

FOR THE WEEK

Our relationships ground and define us. Understanding

where we come from, who matters to us, and to whom we

have an allegiance all frame and direct our lives. One

unchangeable about who we are is that God formed us in

our mother’s womb. Unless understanding of ourselves

begins with this solid fact about ourselves, our knowledge

will always be incomplete. John the Baptist and Jesus knew

who they were and where they came from. This allowed

them to understand their purpose and express their identity.

To whom do you matter? If your primary answer is God then

you are on your way to knowing who you are. Each of us

has a purpose and mission to fulfill. See God as your

strength and get about the business of meeting life’s

challenges.

ALL YOU CAN EAT FISH FRY EVERY FRIDAY

The Northwood VFW Post 2984 at 102 W. Andrus

holds an all you can eat fish fry, for $10.00,

every Friday until the end of April. Steak,

chicken and shrimp is also available. You can dine

in or carry out. Thank you for your support.

GOSPEL MEDITATION

On the cusp of fame, power, or influence, would you turn it

down? Today’s Gospel again features John the Baptist.

Controversial but popular, John has gathered quite a group

of followers. He has disciples. People come from near and

far to be baptized by him. Pharisees and government leaders

are drawn to his preaching. If John was another man, a

lesser man, he would have claimed his own greatness.

Instead, John the Baptist is a witness to humility.

“The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and said,

‘Behold the Lamb of God … he is the one of whom I said, “A

man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me.”… the

reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might

be made known.’” Rather than point to himself, John points

to Christ. John could have grasped at what he had

accumulated. He could have seen Jesus as a Messianic

competitor. Instead, John knows who he is. He knows his

place as forerunner. Because John knows who Jesus is. “I

have seen and testified that he is the Son of God.”

A life of humility, a life for others, can be challenging to live.

So much of our culture is built around achievement and

individualism. We can justify it, too, in pursuit of “greater

goods” and higher ideals. In the process, however, we might

miss our own participation in the kingdom of God. John, for

all of his humility, was not an afterthought. In another

Gospel passage, Jesus calls him “the greatest prophet,” even

the greatest of men. Why? Because he fulfills the mission

given to him by God: to announce the coming of the

Messiah. We too are prophets and forerunners. Our witness

to the Gospel is meant to point people to Jesus. Consider

your own mission this week. To whom are you called to

announce the good news of the Son of God?

GESU PARISH COMMUNITY CELEBRATES 100 YEARS

DEEPEN YOUR FAITH- JOIN FORMED

A FREE resource in deepening our faith is available online. It

is called “Formed” and is available at “formed.org”. As a

parish we have subscribed to this resource, making it

available to you at no charge. All Saints has a URL set up

making it simple to reach our formed page. To use it, simply

go to http://allsaintsrossford.formed.org on your web

browser and register if you are not already registered. After

you register you’re ready to access a lot of great Catholic

content explaining our faith. You can then also download an

app from the Apple App Store for iOS devices (iphones and

ipads) or the Google play Store for Android devices. Simply

search for “formed”.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Eucharist Adoration is held every

Wednesday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. (winter

months) in our Chapel. Everyone is

welcome. Bishop Don Manuel “the bishop of

the abandoned tabernacles” strove to remind

everyone of Jesus’ Presence in the tabernacle,

to which we sometimes respond so poorly. He

preached that silent adoration of Our Lord in the Holy

Eucharist as food for the journey, and source of life and of

sanctity in the Church. .In 1964 the Holy Father said; “His

life flows to us as the life-giving sap of the vine that flows to

its branches to make them live and bear fruit. Parishes

should continue the custom of adoration of the Eucharist to

take root. ”(My Daily Eucharist pg 11/5) Come, Jesus waits

for you! God bless you.

CANCELLATIONS AND WINTER EMERGENCIES

Now that we are in the season of winter

conditions, please be advised that

whenever Wood County is under a Level

Three Emergency, all Masses (including

Sunday) will be cancelled. If it is a Level

Two Emergency, Fr. will do his best to get

to church and celebrate Mass. Mass goers

should use good judgment about travelling

in such conditions. In those situations, our snow removal

team will normally clear the Steinbauer

(small) lot and entrance first. During a Level

Three Emergency, the Parish Office will be

closed, but when possible, the office will be

open during a Level Two. Whenever school

is cancelled, other activities that day and

evening are also cancelled.
