Standard of Generosity by Rev. Richard Barker My dear parishioners, Jesus did not say, Blessed are the poor in spirit who do thus and so. If “thus and so” were the case, then Jesus would have prostrated himself before the law instead of fulfilling it. To the contrary, Jesus himself set the standard of generosity that governs all members and clergy of the Church: THEREFORE I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven. And whoever says a word against the Son of man will be forgiven; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come. [Mt 12:31-32] Jesus taught that if one denies Holy Spirit, there is no saving him. From the dread consequence of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, there is no recovery. Note well that our merciful Lord never accused anyone, including his enemies, of actually crossing the boundary by word or deed. He said, You are warned. Yet the power of this gospel message cannot be denied: Our Lord's kindness and forgiveness are astounding and prodigal. Yes, only one sin is unforgivable. Mercifully, all other sins against God, other persons or one’s own self may be forgiven! The Lord's words nevertheless are a correc ve for this skep cal and disrespec ul genera on. Stand apart from the arrogance and anger of the present age. Do not harden your hearts. Do not become stubborn to the point that you deny God's good in this world, presuming that no frui ul possibility exists for God's authen c grace and redemp on. Or that love and Chris an service are irrelevant in view of the enormous popula on of poor and neglected human beings. Know that the Word of God strengthens you. Christ himself has given you a model of service and a posi ve, aﬃrming benchmark of Chris an love. As Christ forgives your sins, forgive others! As Christ has given you wonderful gi s, especially the sacraments, give to others who are in need. … (con nued on page 5)
Deacon’s Corner - “Drop Your Nets” by Deacon John Sarabia As a prophet, Jonah was given a half-way easy assignment to carry out. God told him to travel to Nineveh (present day Syria) and warn the people that their evil ways had angered the Lord and that he was going to destroy the city in 40 days. Fortunately for Jonah, God was not speaking about his own country and moreover Nineveh was made up of God-fearing people. The people repented, and the Lord did not carry out his threat. Jonah's words got through to the people. They realized that he was one of God's prophets and obeyed. What about today? Do you hear any of God's prophets preaching to you? Sure you do, Father Barker for one. But through our common bap sm, we are all priests, prophets and kings in Jesus Christ. Other “prophets” could be your wife, your kids or your good friends making appeals to you to change. But why should I change, you ask? I like the way I am. What is there to change anyway? … (con nued on page 5) St. Philip the Apostle Catholic Church, Huﬀman, Texas

Fr. Barker’s Monday Day Oﬀ
and Vaca on
Knights of Columbus Super Bowl Chili Sale
Pints and quarts of the KC’s homemade chili, in mason jars, will again be available for purchase a er all Masses the weekend of the Super Bowl, Jan 31st and Feb 1st. Pints will sell for $6 and Quarts for $10. As always, all proceeds will benefit KC chari es and the parish community at St. Philip. Support the Knights and enjoy some more really good chili . Dear St. Philip parishioners, Beginning Mondays in February I’m going to start taking a genuine full “day oﬀ” each week away from the parish. I’m also going to start taking my full vaca on of four weeks each year star ng in 2015. Through the 22 years of my priesthood I’ve worked consistently seven days each week while taking only a fracon of my vaca on annually. This sort of schedule assuredly has a huge impact on any priest’s general wellbeing, happiness and health over me. And reluctantly I’ve had to accept this reality and make a change. The fact that St. Philip’s rectory is connected to the parish oﬃce and only a few feet away from the main doors of the Church means that a weekly quiet day oﬀ (or vacaon days) here at the campus simply is not possible. This requires a change in the weekday Mass schedule. Star ng February 09, I will be away from campus on Mondays and unable to oﬀer a daily Mass. I know well how this will aﬀect our daily Mass communicants, and I know that it will impact those especially who a end Mass every day. And I regret this. As I look through the sacred calendar for 2015, Mass will be oﬀered however on these Mondays at St. Philip: Feb 02 (Presenta on of the Lord); Apr 06 (Easter Octave); and Nov 02 (All Souls). The Monday Mass mes of our area Churches are: St. Martha (Kingwood) 8:30 AM; St. Mary Magdalene (Humble) 8:30 AM; Sacred Heart (Crosby) 8:30 AM; and St. John the Divine (New Caney) 7 PM Spanish. I’m grateful for your understanding of my situa on, asking for your con nual prayers, and looking forward to a frui ul and exci ng priestly future. And with the blessing, at St. Philip the Apostle! Sincerely in Christ, Reverend Richard Barker. Women’s Guild

Confirma on Class Updates
Dear Families, Our first sacrament classes have been joyfully busy learning more about our Catholic faith. Along with preparing for their First Reconcilia on, they have been learning about the Holy Days of Obliga ons, Advent, St. Nicholas (patron saint of children and the poor) with other feast days as they approach. The students par cipated in this year’s first St. Nicholas elementary student community service project to donate their extra chore income and/or spare change from their allowances for a SVdP family in need. They managed to bring in over $100 for the family, so they may have a good Christmas. The children’s generosity will be rewarded four mes. With God’s graces, children can really make great things happen for those in need through their li le and precious acts of kindness. Since November, First Sacraments children have been par cipa ng and engaging within their CCE class for the First Reconcilia on Prayer Service on January 24th. Knowing, loving and serving God is absolutely not limited to this one hour a week in CCE class. Our children are witnesses to how we parents know, love and serve Our Lord, Jesus Christ, and the formal CCE religious learning environment is an extension of what they prac ce at home with their families. God sent his beloved Son Jesus to us; Jesus prayed and lovingly taught us to pray. Our Sacramental catechist team asks fellow parishioners to pray for our students and their families as they con nue to learn and embrace the Catholic teachings for years to come. Isabella Cisneros Abeni-Shai Medina Gianna Gu
errez Kelsey Odom Stefania Gu errez Trinity Reese Jamie Jenkins Brennan Smith AJ Jozwiak Samantha Soto Alex Kubiak Noah Watson Abby Landry Dear St. Philip’s family, Our Confirma on students are encouraged to learn to pray and dedicate some me each day to pray. Prayer is powerful and comfor ng. Prayer can sustain us through diﬃcult mes and can help us stay connected to our faith. “Cradle Catholics” learn to pray at a very young age. We learn our prayers by rote. This means that we learn to pray by repea ng the words un l memorized. Now that is a fine way to learn poetry and school lessons. To truly pray we have to understand what we are saying. We have to mean the words. We have to feel the prayer in our hearts. There in lies the rub! How do we teach this? Learning to pray starts at home. It starts with the family. It starts with a basic understanding of our faith. Catechists have a limited amount of me to share our faith with the students. Parents, grandparents and siblings are the principle teachers of the Catholic faith. Children learn by example. The family that prays together stays together. Catchy saying, but true! This idea of praying as a family is not new. It is not unique. How many mes have you told someone that you “would keep him or her in your prayers”? Did you? Why not take the me to pray, as a family, for those you know who are in need of prayer? This can be a powerful lesson for young children. They don’t have to know the person. All they need to understand is that you gave your word to pray for someone. On Wednesday nights, a er our class me, we gather in the Sanctuary to pray the rosary in La n. We ask the students if they have any special inten ons to pray for. This serves a twofold purpose; that they understand why we pray and also to grasp the power of the prayers being said. They are honest and earnest in their requests for prayer. It is not always for those who are sick. They include friends in need of intercessory prayers and we always pray for our country. (Thank you Jake!) So, the next me you tell someone “I will keep you in my prayers” or “My thoughts and prayers are with you” or “I will pray for you”. Do it! Keep your word and teach a lesson in prayer that will last a life me. Please con nue to pray for the Confirmandi, teaching team and youth mentors as we journey to the Sacrament of Confirma on. Sincerely in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, Lyne e Zaunbrecher, Confirma on Coordinator Peace be with you all, Lupe Cupples, First Sacraments Coordinator St. Mary Magdalene Catholic School Open House

Standard of Generosity
(con nued from front page)
Are you looking for Jesus? He is looking for you! Remember when you were in elementary school learning your abc's and math tables? Didn't it seem that almost every day you were having li le epiphanies as the lights were going oﬀ and illumina ng your mind? Your teacher was instruc ng you and acquain ng you with the ways of the world. The world of Faith is no diﬀerent. How can you understand the ma ers of Faith unless someone instructs you just like the eunuch was taught by St. Phillip in the book of Acts chapter 8? Let us help you with your spiritual walk back to our Lord. The RCIA program was created for people who are inquiring about spiritual ma ers of God and Faith, and think that the Catholic Church might have the answers to their ques ons. If you are interested in learning more about the Catholic Church with the possible intent of becoming Catholic, please contact the parish oﬃce or call John Sarabia at (281) 923-9659. The RCIA program will begin in the spring of 2015. You are personally invited to join us and learn more about our Lord and the Church He established. ...The Sacred Scriptures clearly iden fy the essen al values of God's Kingdom. The human person possesses infinite value before the most holy face of Christ. The circumstances or obstacles against which everyone contends ul mately will melt away when me is no more. And so it should be for you in this life. Jesus Christ has bequeathed to you a holy way of life. Extend your hands therefore in extravagant and loving service to your neighbor, especially those who in the world's eyes count for nothing. All poor and marginalized persons merit the Spirit's blessings by the very fact of their material impoverishment and poverty of spirit. You will share in their blessings by helping them. Human beings are deserving of blessing, for their broken humanity pleads to God on their behalf. The Church's maternal ministry in the Mys cal Body of Christ compels her to intervene spiritually and materially on behalf of all her helpless li le ones. In the name of Christ, the Church prays for every soul’s recovery from distress and prays for the bea tude of all her children young and old. We are saved by loving God, for he himself has loved us from the beginning as “li le children”. We are invited to an encounter with God who commissions the Church’s members to render mely and eﬀec ve pastoral assistance. God gives his Spirit to rule over the Law, for the Spirit himself is a Spirit of love. God wills the salva on and care of souls to be paramount in the ministry of his Church. You will save yourself when you assist in the salva on of someone else. Authen c love of God and neighbor is all that is fundamentally required for us to administer authen c and frui ul pastoral service to others. If clergy or lay persons make mistakes from me to me in doing God’s work, may such things happen in the course of loving service and not as a consequence of laziness or arrogance. Sincerely in the hearts of Jesus and Mary. Your pastor, Reverend Richard Barker. Deacon’s Corner (con nued from front page)
...What is there to change anyway? Indeed, what is there to change? St Paul tells us "Do not conform yourselves to this age but
be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and pleasing and perfect." (Rom12:2)
God created us to be special as only we can be special in his eyes! Stop and think for a second. Am I the person the Lord wants me to
be? Can I be a be er husband /father or wife /mother? As Sco Hahn o en says, "God loves us as we are, but he loves us too much to leave us that way." What's keeping me from being that person?
What am I holding on to? Peter and Andrew were not looking to change, but they heard the words of Jesus, dropped their nets and followed him. "Oh, that today you would hear his voice." (Heb 3:7)

- 5- Receiving Holy Communion
DJM Corner
When you receive Communion during the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, it is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ that you are receiving. Holy Communion, in the Catholic Church, is reserved for those who have received the sacrament of First Holy Communion, have been catechized (taught) in our Catholic faith and have made a profession of faith. One should abstain from Holy Communion if they are in mortal sin and have not received the sacrament of reconcilia on. If you are not Roman Catholic or are in need
of the Sacrament of Reconcilia on, we ask that you refrain
from receiving Holy Communion in the Mass. However, you
may go up to one of the ministers for a blessing when Holy
Communion is being oﬀered. By crossing your hands over
your heart, the Priest or Eucharis c minister will know to give
you the blessing. Also, if you choose to receive only the Blessed Sacrament and not from the Chalice, it is fi ng nevertheless to pause for a moment to honor Christ’s presence in the Precious Blood—with an appropriate sign of devo on. We would not think to pass a friend on the street without some acknowledgement. Our Lord Jesus Christ deserves no less, and most assuredly, a great deal more. Fr. Santan Pinto SOLT

God understands us because He loves us and nothing is hidden from Him. “Come to me all you who labor and are weary, and I will give you rest.”  God knows us much be er than we know ourselves.  We get frustrated expressing ourselves to others because our words fail to describe deeper reali es.  God goes beyond our limita ons and our weaknesses.  He understands the hidden meanings behind our words. “May the li le child Jesus bless you and accompany you on your journey” -Fr.
