Jan. 20, 2019 Pastor : Rev. Patrick Maher 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

From the Pastor’s Desk

Our Parish Movie will be THIS Sunday the 20th

following Mass. We will be watching

The Staircase Lunch provided for a goodwill

offering. All are welcome to attend.

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ Jesus, Alas!!! Except for the beautiful Poinsettias and Wreathes, most signs of the Christmas are gone reminding me of just how fast time flies, and how important it is to appreciate these Holy times for family fellowship!!! (That’s just on the inside of our beautiful church, on the outside there is still snow). I wanted to once more give thanks for our Arts and Environment team for their tireless devotion to beautifying our worship space!!! Sally, Jesse, Greg, Ashley, Scott, Jared, Butch and Sharyl, Deb and Phil, Pat and Chris, Ray and Marsha, Marty and Ann, Carol, Pat and Darlene, Barry and Sue, Brianna, Ryan, Caitlyn, and Don. I also want to thank all of our flower donors and benefactors for their generosity to re-flect the beauty of God the Father, His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Family of Nazareth for our Christmas Season celebrations!!! For St. Thomas Aquinas, beauty is id quod visum placet, " that which pleases upon being seen." “Visum” connotes more than meets the eye. Its meaning is closer to our understand-ing of the word "vision" (as opposed to "eyesight") and refers to an intuitive knowledge that includes the senses. The two senses that are involved in the apprehension of beauty are what St. Thomas calls "the senses of knowledge," that is, sight and hear-ing. The word “placet” means more than a mere sensual pleasure. It is better rendered as "a delight for the soul." This delight is conferred when a person beholds a beautiful ob-ject by means of an intuitive knowledge that incorporates either sight or hearing. Intelligence, therefore, which is our capacity to know, plays an indispensable role in the apprehension of beauty. This is a most important factor because it means that beauty is not merely subjective (or "in the eyes of the beholder," as many claim), but is objective inasmuch as it is an object of knowledge. Beauty has its roots in reality. “And so it is that all things must desire, must yearn for, must love, the Beautiful and the Good... And we may be so bold as to claim also that the Cause of all things (God) loves all things in the superabundance of his goodness, that be-cause of this goodness he makes all things, brings all things to perfection, holds all things together, and returns all things. The divine longing is Good seeking good for the sake of the good.” -Dionysius the Areopagite I so appreciate the beauty we share whenever we celebrate the Eucharist togeth-er!!! And remember,

You are Loved, Father Patrick
