PRIESTS’ COLUMN
D
ear Members of Holy Ghost Parish:
Lest we become immune to the
realities of our on-going, day-by-day
relationships with the Lord by being overly
distracted by many wonderful things going on
around us (the civil rights crusade, the prohuman life endeavor, the Church Unity
Octave, etc.) let us remind ourselves that
Sunday Mass is the foundation upon which we must build our
lives, be it a super-Sunday like Easter, Pentecost, Epiphany,
Palm, Laetare or a “Regular” one like the Twelfth Sunday in
Ordinary Time. There is no other day of our lives that can
substitute for the Lord’s Day. This is why it is necessary to
include Sunday Mass within your vacation plans. (Of course, if
presently you are going on one of those ten day rides to the
moon, you’ll just need to miss Mass that Sunday. Being ninety
thousand miles away from the nearest church is an excuse for
missing Mass that Sunday which even the most strict Canon
lawyers would find acceptable.) Tour people pride themselves
on being able to provide accommodations for the people they
serve. If you indicate your need for Sunday Mass on a cruise,
pilgrimage (non-religious: e.g. a history tour) most tour
companies will go the extra mile to help you schedule Sunday
Mass. Once they see how important it is with you, it will take
an importance for them too. See how little it takes to
evangelize?
Some of us hesitate to ask time off from work to go to Mass
(e.g. daily Mass during Lent, a special novena of Masses being
celebrated for some worthwhile cause). If we do not step up to
the plate our bosses must think that Mass is not as important as
we know it really is.
Now, let us take a giant step up the ladder to the Lord.
Granted that daily Mass is the way to sanctity, there are other
ways, official ways, liturgical ways to increase God’s grace
within us. Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the
reception of any of the seven sacraments, and the Liturgy of the
Hours—all are part of that “package” which help us along the
path to God. There are devotional ways, also, which help us
tremendously: Morning, Noon and Night Prayers; the Rosary;
novenas; litanies; and the like. We strongly recommend
establishing a pattern of the use of these actions so that day-in
and day-out we are steady as rock foundations. We glibly
mouth that we practice stewardship in the use of time, talent,
and money. Sometimes we think that so long as we support
Christ’s church with our money that this is all we need to do.
Well, no, it isn’t. The allotment of time and talent is also very
important and gives a beautiful balance to our acts of genuine
stewardship. Wow! It’s complicated to live the Catholic Life,
you’ll say. Well, it’s complicated to assemble a watch or an
automobile too, but once it's done we develop the necessary
skills to use them. It’s somewhat the same way with our life
with God—once we develop our regular skills of
communicating with Him, the complications fall away and we
ultimately wind up in the Presence of God Who is Simplicity
Itself. What a challenge! And what a life!
Devotedly your in Christ,
Monsignor M-
M
y dear Parishioners,
Peace! The ninth article of the
Apostle’s Creed is "I believe in the
Holy Catholic Church." There are thirty-five
(35) In Brief passages in the Catechism of the
Catholic Church regarding this article of the
Creed. The following is a reflection on article
942.
Of the sixteen (16) documents of the Second Ecumenical
Council at the Vatican (1962-1965) there is one which
specifically addresses the apostolate of the laity, Apostolicam
Actuositatem. There are other documents, however, which also
address the laity, those who have not received the graces of Holy
Orders. The Catechism of the Catholic Church here cites
Gaudium et Spes, 43, regarding the laity under four (4) points:
The laity have a prophetic mission in the world. What is the
mission of a prophet? The prophet’s mission is to speak for God
(cf. Ezekiel 7:1). The laity fulfill their prophetic mission in the
world when they stand up for whatever is good and true and
beautiful (cf. Philippians 4:8). Whenever the laity speak the truth
in love they are fulfilling their prophetic role and mission in the
world (cf. Ephesians 4:15). Calling sin sin and grace grace is
also part of the prophetic role to which the laity are called, under
the guidance of the Magisterium (teaching authority) of Mother
Church (cf. Matthew 16:19; Luke 10:16; John 8:47). The truths
to be spoken by the prophetic laity include doctrinal truths (i.e.
the divinity of Christ, the divine inspiration of Sacred Scripture,
the divine institution of the Sacraments and Mother Church...) as
well as moral truths (i.e. the evils of abortion, calumny,
divorce...).
The laity live their call in all circumstances. Some lay people
live as single persons in the world. Some lay people live in Holy
Marriage. All of the laity, regardless of marital status, are called
to live out the call of Holy Baptism and Confirmation wherever
they find themselves, at work, at home.
The laity are called to be at the heart of the human
community: To be at the heart of the human community is be
identified with society. Sacred Scripture sees the heart as the
embodiment of the person (cf. Deuteronomy 7:17; Isaiah 14:13).
With pious laity in every sphere of social life then society will
truly be lifted up by authentic Christian witness.
The laity are called to be witnesses of Christ, wherever they
find themselves, at home, at work, at play. The laity are called to
bear witness to the truth of the Gospel, our saving faith. To not
do so would be sinful (cf. Proverbs 29:24). Some have been so
faithful in bearing witness to Christ, His Gospel and His Church,
that they have suffered martyrdom. The Greek word for "martyr"
is martus (cf. Acts 22:20; Revelation 2:13; 17:6). Not all
martyrdom, however, is bloody and red. The "white" sort entails
constant witness and longsuffering and fidelity over the long
haul by God’s grace and strength at work (cf. Philippians 4:13).
God bless you!
Father John Arthur Orr

THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
"Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Mk 1:14-20
After a lifetime of struggling to catch fish from the Sea of
Galilee and building a business with Simon and Andrew,
Zebedee surely hoped his sons, James and John, would take
over and relieve him of the labor of casting nets into the Sea and
the dangers of the life of a fisherman. Then a man comes along
and calls his sons to become fishers of men and they drop his
nets and leave him. James and John could not have known what
awaited them. Their mother apparently thought Jesus would
establish an earthly kingdom and asked that her sons sit at his
side. But it is Zebedee, with the wisdom that sometimes comes
with age, who understood the real implications and challenges
of the invitation of Jesus to his sons to become fishers of men; to
be men who by what they say and do challenge others to do
good and avoid evil; who choose right rather than wrong; who
imitate Jesus and accept the consequences. Zebedee must have
been pleased with his sons. Are we prepared to be fishers of
men to lead others to God by imitating Jesus?
Saint Joseph School, a Pre-K - 8, Catholic elementary school
in Knoxville (1810 Howard Drive), will be holding an Open
House on Sunday, January 29 from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00
p.m. and again on Tuesday, January 31 from 8:00 a.m. 10:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. Current and
prospective families are welcome to come and meet with
students, staff and parents. Student Council led tours on
Sunday and parent led tours on Tuesday will provide an
opportunity to discover the great treasure that is Saint Joseph
School! Refreshments will be served both days. Come and
see all that Saint Joseph School has to offer. For more
information, please call 865-689-3424.
DAVE RAMSEY FINANCIAL PEACE UNIVERSITY
Merry Widows will meet at the Red Lobster on Merchant
Drive at 12noon on Tuesday, February 7.
Receiving assistance from Catholic Charities for St. Joseph's
School... attend Dave Ramsey Financial Peace University and
get your finances under control so one day you won't need
help ... you might even be able to help others! Class continues
from Monday January 02, 2012, to March 26, 7:00pm9:00pm . It’s not too late to sign up, please call Carol
Lougheed 689-7708
“Romans 15:4-9 “Welcome one another as Christ
welcomed you, for the glory of God.” Will you join us in
the ministry of greeting worshipers as they enter and leave
the church? We need about 2 more people to volunteer at
each Mass. This would enable us to have four greeters per
Mass and only have them responsible for two months a
year.
Please call Linda Bolen, 524-7957 or
[email protected] to join in this rewarding service to our
church. Thank you to all who are already so generously
serving.
CATHOLIC CHARITIES
Elizabeth’s Home program is seeking volunteer CPAs for
January 2012 to assist low-income families in filing their
2011 taxes . Please contact Angela at 865-971-3570 or
[email protected].
Save these dates: Thursday, February 16, 2012 - Catholic
Charities’ 3rd Annual Hearts of Gratitude Mass at All
Saints Church in West Knoxville
Thursday, March 8, 2012 - Catholic Charities’ 27th Annual
Dinner, “An Emerald O’ccasion,”
at the Knoxville
Convention Center.
Catholic Charities needs a volunteer to review menus for
Columbus Home Children's Services; must be a registered
dietitian. Contact Laura Bryant at (865) 971-3560 or
[email protected] .
The Blessed Sacrament is reserved in this Church. Please
maintain reverence, silence and a prayerful attitude at all times,
especially before and after Mass. Our full participation for the
entire Mass is most important. We are here to worship God every
week - therefore it is very important not to leave Mass until the
recessional hymn has begun. The way we dress for Mass shows
our internal disposition towards God. Be mindful that short-shorts
and tank tops are not appropriate attire for church.

Souper Bowl Sunday, February 5 is an opportunity for us to help stock the pantry for the Ladies of Charity.
Please bring your contributions and place them in containers provided in the Narthex of the church.
We are doing a great job making the kids in Juvenile Detention feel like kids. They are allowed to watch some
sporting events on TV. The Super Bowl is one of these occasions. Individual bags of chips and individual
drinks like Capri Sun or Kool-Aid drinks are perfect. Please drop your donations in containers provided. As one
staff member at the center said to me, "Most of these kids just need direction".
INTERCESIONES POR LA VIDA
WORD OF LIFE
HHS’s new mandate for contraception/sterilization coverage … includes
an incredibly narrow exemption for “religious employers” that protects
almost no one. For example, a Catholic institution serving the poor and
needy would have to fire its non-Catholic staff, refuse life-affirming
care to non-Catholic people in need, and devote itself instead to “the
inculcation of religious values” to qualify for the exemption.
Individuals, insurers, and the sponsors of non-employee health plans
(e.g., student health plans in Catholic schools) would have no exemption
at all. This effort to corral religion exclusively into the sanctuaries of
houses of worship betrays a complete ignorance of the role of religion in
American life, and of Congress’s long tradition of far more helpful laws
on religious freedom.
~Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston-Houston and Chair of the USCCB Committee on ProLife Activities, Letter to Congress, September 7, 2011, in support of the “Respect for Rights of Conscience
Act”

TOP TEN REASON TO COME BACK TO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Because they made mistakes. Often people
become burdened with by the guilt of having
hurt themselves or others. They long for
forgiveness and a fresh start. You can always
tell God your are sorry. But for complete
assurance of God’s forgiveness and the grace
to begin again, the Catholic Church offers absolution in the
Sacrament of Reconciliation.
