Did You Know?
With winter weather and limited parking we know that
the temptation exists to park in the fire lanes in front
of the church. Blocking those lanes restricts
emergency vehicles access to the church. Please do
not park in the fire lane.
Thank you! — Jim Newell

From the Pastor’s Pen
Mass Intentions
“Man, you smell like smoke!” said one of the adults as
I walked back into the office. I had just finished burning
palms as part of the prayer service preparing for Ash
Wednesday. We burned the palms that many of you had
brought and dropped off in the Narthex. Try as I might, I
tried to stay out of the line of smoke but the wind kept
changing too much and I kept getting it blown right in my
face.
Wednesday we began the season of Lent as we received ashes on our foreheads. Today we hear the story
of Jesus being baptized and lead into the desert for forty
days. After the forty days, when he was hungry and tired,
he was tempted by Satan. Just like us, Jesus had to face
his own temptations. When we face temptations in our
lives, are we as successful in resisting temptations or do
we find ourselves giving in, maybe even justifying in our
own mind that it's not so bad? When we face the temptations sometimes that last thing we think of is the consequences of our actions if we give in. The temptations in
our lives can be very seductive and use logic in different
ways to convince us to think that things aren't so bad. It
won't really hurt anyone if I indulge. So what, I can make
up for it later at another time. All those thoughts can go
racing through our minds to fool us into giving in and be
tricked into thinking it is the right thing to do.
With this season of Lent and the Year of Faith, we are
called to go deeper in our faith. Have you made your Lenten promise yet? If not, one suggestion would be to take
time to pray more or read scripture each day.
Yeah, I do smell like smoke and now that smell is getting to me as it is causing me a headache. As we experience God with all of our senses, may we be open to more
fully experiencing God this Lent as we prepare for the
joys of Easter. We receive the ashes on our foreheads.
The ashes of something that once was and now all that
remains is the ashes. The palms burned until the fire is
out and nothing but ash remains. We get rid of what is not
needed in our lives so something wonderful and fruitful
may come about. May the Spirit of Lent burn within each
of hearts as we enter the journey once again.
Fr. Timothy

Someone is Watching and Wondering
This past week we began our
annual 40 day Lenten retreat,
through which we prepare for
the celebration of Christianity's
most fundamental belief: Jesus
Christ, raised from the dead.
Lent has no meaning in and of
itself, rather it leads to Easter
and new life. There are three
Lenten themes from the earliest
centuries of Christianity: (1) the
mystery of Jesus' death and
resurrection, (2) the implications of this mystery for
those preparing for baptism, and (3) a spiritual renewal
of faith and conversion on the part of those already
baptized. For catechumens, Lent is the period of purification and enlightenment ("purify" means to
cleanse - "enlighten" means to shed spiritual light),
that prepares them for the ethical implications of living
the gospel, receiving the initiation sacraments, and lifelong Mystogogy. There are also three pillars of
Lent.
Early in Christianity, fasting the first of the three pillars of Lent as a discipline of purification by catechumens, and then by baptized Christians, was in imitation
of Jesus' forty-day fast in the desert (Matthew 4:2), Moses' forty days on Mount Sinai (Exodus 34:28), Elijah's
forty-day fast on his journey to Mount Horeb (1 Kings
19:8), and the forty years the Israelites spent in the desert. Through fasting, Catholics are called to remember that we are faith pilgrims, continually called to conversion, turning from sin, and renewed life in Christ.
Prayer is the second pillar of Lent. Although St. Paul
reminds us to “pray always,” there is a special emphasis on enriching our prayer practices during Lent. This
emphasis is not an attempt to make us “prayer perfect,” but rather to acknowledge our continued effort to
do better, and become closer to God.
The third pillar, almsgiving/charity, is the way we
demonstrate our love for Jesus, by sharing our worldly
goods with others. “Above all, maintain constant charity among yourselves, for charity covers a multitude of
sins.” (1 Peter 4:8) Jesus asks us to give to others
because so much has been given to us, and to forgive
others because so much has been forgiven us. (Read
Matthew 18:23-25.) So, during Lent you may wish to
give more than you usually do, or find a new cause
worthy of support. If money is tight, donate your time
or talent to those in need. Most of all, remember to
open your heart to God, through loving and serving
one another.

Souper Bowl of Caring
Thank you St James community
The Community of St. James is very generous and
giving as evidenced by the recent food drive for the
In As Much Ministry (IAM). Three totes of soup and
other non-perishable items were delivered to IAM.
This will certainly help the food insecure and hungry
people n our area. Thank You.
The need is very great as reflected in the following
information from Harvesters and the Kansas City
Star. In FY2012, Harvesters distributed more than
41 million pounds of food and household products in
their 26 county service area. Harvesters can feed 5
people for $1. Harvesters, the only food bank in our
area, provides services and goods to over 620 nonprofit agencies. (www.harvesters.org)
In the 6 county metro area, an estimated 100,000
children live in homes where cupboards too often
may be bare or where their parents may not know
where the next meal is coming from. One-third of
these children live in extreme conditions where some
days they may go hungry. In Clay County, more than
13,000 children under 18 are in “food-insecure”
homes -- those without enough nutritious food or any
food at all. (based on USDA and Census data from
www.kansascity.com)
SAVE THE DATE: The Communities Creating
Opportunity is hosting a series of films highlighting
critical issues facing the metro area and our state,
the last Wednesday of each month. Contact Carol
Bloomer for further details 816-797-2633
We would like to thank all those who donated to the
Marines Parent Care Package Project. A group of
about 100 volunteers met in Columbia at the Marines
Parents warehouse where we packed and shipped
500 packages to Marines over seas. The next Care
Package Project will be in April. We would like to
thank our daughter Anna and Orville, Darleen and
Rebecca Filla for joining us in this adventure
Thank you so much, Gerard and Maureen Coday.
* The day before Souper Bowl our high school youth
went to various service sites and on Super Bowl Sunday after Masses they held soup pots at the Church
doors, joining young people from all over the county
to collect money for those hungry and hurting.
How did St. James help?
*St. James parishioners donated $1639.61
This money will go to Hillcrest Ministries here in Liberty to help their transitional housing. Thank you for
continuing to support this collection each year!
Our Journey for Lent
So many times we head into Lent without giving it
much thought. Other than giving up something small,
that has little impact on our daily lives, we usually sail
right through Lent.
To really experience the beauty of Lent we need to
take the time to explore all it truly has to offer. From
our prayer life, to our sacrifices, to what we give, lets
invest in our Lenten journey together to make our
Easter one of new life.
Prayer:
What changes am I making to expand my prayer life?
Almsgiving:
What can I do to help others in need? Donate
items, save money to give to the poor, do service?
Sacrifice-(fasting and abstaining)
Go beyond giving up candy to giving up some habit
that is impacting my life in a negative way. The goal is
not just to abstain for the duration of Lent but to make
a change in our lives forever.
Activities for Everyone
If you are looking for more ways to enhance Lenten
journey this year, you can find some activities on the
youth webpage. There is a little something for everyone not just teens.

Our Annual Soup Suppers will begin on Wednesday

prayer service in the church at 5:30, followed by
soup in the Social Hall. Donations for our Lenten
charities will be asked for in lieu of payment for the
meal.
Lenten Charities
This year we are sponsoring 3 different, yet similar
charities: Hillcrest Ministries, the In As Much food
pantry and the Uplift Organization. Hillcrest Ministries works to move people from homeless to selfsufficiency in 90 days. The In As Much food pantry
serves the hungry right here in our home town. Uplift Organization offers the most basic help to the
homeless in Kansas City. Donations of cash are
welcome for all 3 charities. Project Uplift can take
donations of warm socks, mittens/gloves, hats and
candles. In As Much can take
donations of non-perishable
food items. All three are ministries that St James parishioners
support.

Precious Blood Center offers Lenten Friday Soup Suppers; with focus on immigration issues.
We are using a Just Matters module from Just Faith entitled, "Crossing Borders: Migration, Theology, and
the Human Journey." Br. Daryl Charron, C.PP.S. will facilitate. It is not required that you attend all six sessions. The sessions will begin at 5:30pm with a simple soup meal followed by the study portion of the evening which will end at 8:00pm. There is a limit of 40 persons to this group due to space restraints. RSVP to
Br. Daryl at 816-835-0344 or email him at [email protected] if you are interested.

5
GREAT REASONS to Patronize the
Merchants in Our Church Bulletin!
1. They support the work of our church.
2. It keeps money in our community. For every $100 spent at a
locally owned business, $68 goes back into the community
and your tax base. For every $100 spent at a chain store,
only $43 comes back. Online purchases bring nothing
back to our local community.
3. Keeps our community unique. Where we shop, where
we eat and have fun—all of it makes our community
home. Our one-of-a-kind businesses are an integral part
of the distinctive character of our community.
4. Creates more good jobs. Small local
businesses are the largest employer
nationally and in our community.
5. Get better service. Local businesses
often hire people with a better
understanding of the products
they are selling and take more time
to get to know customers.
