Bulletin Reflection There is certain urgency in today’s Gospel as Jesus calls His first disciples Andrew and Simon, James and John. Each one follows Jesus immediately, unhesitatingly abandoning father and fellow-workers, nets and boat. To what is Jesus calling me – at this moment, in these circumstances? What will I need to abandon in order to follow Him? SAVE THE DATE!!! Parish Lenten Mission March 3, 4th & 5th, 2015. Jesus Christ-the Way, the Truth & the Life.

From the Pastor January 25th, 2015 Third Sunday in Ordinary Time eneral Councils of the Church, Part XII: Lyons I (1245) Summary: The First General Council of Lyons was presided over by Innocent IV; the Patriarchs of Constantinople, Antioch, and Aquileia (Venice); 140 bishops; Baldwin II, Emperor of the East, and (St.) Louis, King of France, assisted. It excommunicated and deposed Emperor Frederick II and directed a new crusade, under the command of St. Louis, against the Saracens and Mongols. Pope Innocent IV, threatened by Emperor Frederick II, arrived at Lyons, France on December 2nd 1244, and early in 1245 summoned the bishops and princes to the council. The chronicle of St. Peter of Erfurt states that two hundred and fifty prelates responded; the annalist Mencon speaks of three patriarchs, three hundred bishops, and numerous prelates. The Abbé Martin without deciding between these figures has succeeded in recovering to a certainty the names of one hundred assistants, prelates or lords, of whom thirty-eight were from France, thirty from Italy, eleven from Germany or the countries of the North, eight from England, five from Spain, five from the Latin Orient. Baldwin II, Latin Emperor of Constantinople, Raymond VII, Count of Toulouse, Raymond Bérenger IV, Count of Provence, Albert Rezats, Latin Patriarch of Antioch, Berthold, Patriarch of Aquileia, Nicholas, Latin Patriarch of Constantinople, came to the council, which opened June 28th at St-Jean. After chanting the “Veni Creator”, the hymn to the Holy Spirit, and the litanies, Innocent IV preached his famous sermon on the five wounds of the Church from the text “Secundum multitudinem dolorum meorum in corde meo, consolationes tuae laetificaverunt animam meam”. He enumerated his five sorrows: (1) the bad conduct of prelates and faithful; (2) the insolence of the Saracens; (3) the Greek Schism; (4) the cruelties of the Tatars in Hungary; (5) the persecution of the Emperor Frederick; and he caused to be read the privilege granted to Pope Honorius III by Frederick when the latter was as yet only King of the Romans. Thaddeus of Suessa, Frederick’s ambassador, arose, attempted to make excuses for the emperor, and cited numerous plots against the emperor which, he said, had been instigated by the Church. On June 29th at the request of the procurators of the Kings of France and England, Innocent IV granted Thaddeus a delay of 10 days for the arrival of the emperor. At the second session (July 5th) the bishop of Calvi and a Spanish archbishop attacked the emperor’s manner of life and his plots against the Church; again Thaddeus spoke on his behalf and asked a delay for his arrival. Despite the advice of numerous prelates Innocent (July 9th) decided to postpone the third session until the seventeenth. On the seventeenth Frederick had not come. Baldwin II, Raymond VII, and Berthold, Patriarch of Aquileia, interceded in vain for him; Thaddeus in his master’s name appealed to a future pope and a more general council; Innocent pronounced the deposition of Frederick, caused it to be signed by one hundred and fifty bishops and charged the Dominicans and Franciscans with its publication everywhere. But the pope lacked the material means to execute this decree; the Count of Savoy refused to allow an army sent by the pope against the emperor to pass through his territory, and for a time it was feared that Frederick would attack Innocent at Lyons. The Council of Lyons took several other purely religious measures: it obliged the Cistercians to pay tithes, approved the Rule of the Order of Grandmont, decided the institution of the octave of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin, prescribed that henceforth cardinals should wear a red hat, and lastly prepared thirty-eight constitutions which were later inserted by Pope Boniface VIII in his Decretals, the most important of which, received with protests by the envoys of the English clergy, decreed a levy of a twentieth on every *benefice for three years for the relief of the Holy Land (Constitution “Afflicti corde”) and a levy for the benefit of the Latin Empire of Constantinople of half the revenue of benefices whose titular bishops (typically auxiliary bishops who “head” dioceses that once did, but no longer, exist) did not reside therein for at least six months of the year. *Benefice: the right to revenue from church property, the beneficed cleric being the usufructuary (the one having the use or enjoyment of something) and not the proprietor of the source of his support; there must always be a spiritual function of some kind, such as the care of souls, the exercise of jurisdiction, the celebration of Mass or the recitation of the Divine Office.

Your support of the Catholic Ministries Appeal touches so many of our neighbors in need, and we are so grateful for your important participation. As we begin the 2015 Appeal, I am reminded of Pope Francis’ call that “amid so much darkness, we need to see the light of hope and to be men and women who bring hope to others.” When we come together to help support these critical ministries, that is what we are doing – we are dispelling that darkness and bringing hope and love to more than 600,000 people every year. You are helping to feed the hungry, provide clothes and emergency support to the needy, strengthen parishes throughout our Diocese, help form our future priests and deacons and provide funding for Catholic Charities’ outstanding programs and services. You are also helping to ensure that our ministries bring Christ’s light to hundreds of thousands of people in hospitals, colleges and even our jails. We hope that you will once again join with me, your Pastor and many of your neighbors by making a gift to the 2015 Catholic Ministries Appeal, and if possible increasing your already generous gift in an effort to help spread the “light of hope” to even more people in need. With prayers and gratitude, I am Sincerely yours in Christ Bishop of Rockville Centre Living Stewardship We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who work in parishbased advocacy groups to bring Gospel values and Catholic social teaching to the wider community. St. Vincent de Paul As Jesus passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” Our Mission Statement tells us: Organized locally Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.. “Join the Society of St. Vincent de Paul!” Do You Know Someone Who is Hurting from an Abortion?

A Workshop on Angels “Dancing on the Head of a Pin: The Angelic Doctor on Angelic Natures.” What are angels? What do they do? How are they different from us, and why do we sometimes confuse them with God? Why are angels good and demons bad, and why can’t demons be forgiven? How do angels see? Are we simply angels covered in skin? What can angels make me think, and what can’t they make me do? What is it like to stand in a crowd of angels, and why doesn’t that make a lot of sense? These are just some of the questions that can be legitimately posed about those interesting creatures called angels. Please join us for a five-week workshop in which we will consider what one of the greatest minds in human history said about the issue, Doctor of the Church, St. Thomas Aquinas.
