Episode 5 THE INDISPENSABLE MEN
PETER, PAUL AND THE MISSIONARY ADVENTURE
Father Barron calls Peter and Paul two indispensable men, the ones without whom the church
never would have emerged and survived. In telling each man s story, Father Barron shows how the
Holy Spirit worked through all the apostles and disciples to build the Church. Following the trail of
these apostles as they took the Gospel to the ends of the earth, Father Barron presents the foundations of the apostolic faith, particularly the revelation of Christ’s resurrection from the dead.
Showings after each weekend Mass and Tuesdays at 6pm
This weekend, Fr. Frank Iacona will be here to celebrate all Masses and to
speak about a ministry providing direct relief to the poor throughout Latin
America and the Caribbean. Fr. Iacona will share what he has witnessed
about Food for the Poor and their mission to care for the destitute as a
means of living out the Gospel mandate to love one another. Fr. Iacona was
ordained in 2002 for the Claretian Missionaries. In addition to preaching on
behalf of Food for the Poor, Fr. Frank works at a house of discernment, the Newman Center
at the University of Illinois, and the Chicago Legal Aid Clinic.
There will be NO SECOND COLLECTION. Fr. Iacona will pass out envelopes. You may give
them to him on your way out next week, or you may mail it in to Food for the Poor whenever
you wish. You may view their website at http://foodforthepoor.org I asked Msgr. Frank Blood,
our mission office director, about this organization, and he informed me it is a great service
organization, and that he himself gives to them every year. This missionary effort is NOT part
of our Archdiocesan missionary co-op, but, as we get closer to Lent, and the command to
serve others not only by our prayers and fasting, but also almsgiving, this may be a way for
you to do something positive for Lent and help others in the process.

Second Annual Bishop Blast Recruitment weekend February 18-19
A Letter from our Archbishop:
My Brothers in Christ,
As Catholic men, we are called to a life of service. We are called to care for our families, serve our communities and serve our faith communities. I am excited to share with you that a great and wonderful opportunity exists for Catholic men to answer this call to serve by becoming
a member of the Knights of Columbus.
This exemplary order of Catholic men was founded in 1882 by a parish priest who had the vision and foresight to conceive of an organization which would provide Catholic men the opportunity to live their Faith through charitable works, caring for their families, and defending the
Catholic Faith. Today, the Knights of Columbus are 11.8 million members strong in 14 countries, providing a strong moral example in an
age where culture promotes secularism over service to others. Each year, this organization of practical Catholic men donates more than
$150 million and 70 million man-hours to charity, in addition to providing its members with the opportunity to share a fraternal brotherhood
with men of similar values.
As a Fourth Degree Knight of Columbus, I have personally witnessed the tremendous work that these men accomplish in this Archdiocese.
However, there is much work which needs to be done in the name of charity. I strongly encourage each man in this Diocese, who considers
himself to be a practicing Catholic and is at least 18 years old, to prayerfully consider joining the ranks of this fine organization.
Should a member of the Knights of Columbus contact you and invite you to learn more about this Order, please take some time to visit with
them so that you may join us in our mission to promote Charity, Unity, Fraternity and Patriotism. I promise you the experience of a lifetime.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson
Archbishop of St. Louis
Paul the People Pleaser?
Last week we heard St. Paul saying that
he was all things to all people. This week,
we hear that he tried to please everyone.
To modern ears, that sounds more like a
people-pleaser. But that wasn’t what Paul
meant. The key to Paul’s way of life is the
last line of the second reading: “Be imitators of me, as I
am of Christ.” (1 Cor 11:1)
When Jesus spoke to Paul in his conversion, he
asked why he was persecuting Jesus. Paul later began
to understand that all Christians make up the body of
Christ. As members of that body, we can show others
what Jesus is like, by our example. That seems to be a
two part process.
First, to show Christ, we have to know Christ.
We can do that by reading the scriptures and praying
with them. We can receive the sacraments regularly,
especially Reconciliation, where we experience his forgiveness and love, and the Eucharist, where Jesus
unites himself with us, so that we can become more like
him.
The second part is acting like Jesus. Forgive
people who hurt us, care for the sick, the dying, the poor.
Don’t be afraid to tell people what God has done for you;
encourage others to be grateful for what God has done
for them.
Paul obviously didn’t please everyone, or he
wouldn’t have ended his life in prison. He was more interested in imitating Christ. If we can imitate Paul in that
way, we can’t go wrong.
