NATIVITY OF THE LORD † DECEMBER 25, 2015 FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY † DECEMBER 27, 2015 EPIPHANY OF THE LORD † JANUARY 3, 2016 2926 Beaver Avenue Des Moines, IA 50310 515.255.3162 www.holytrinitydm.org www.htschool.org Parish email: parishoffi[email protected] School email: [email protected] WEEKLY THOUGHTS Dear friends: In this year of Mercy, Pope Francis has given us a vision of the Church for the jubilee year and for the Church going forward: openness, non-judgmental listening and a willingness to accompany others on their journey of faith. As the Church embarks on this Year of Mercy, our Parish will begin to create a vision for where we want to be in 3 years, 5 years, and 10 years from now. After diligently praying over this matter and speaking with other schools and parishes that have gone through the Visioning Process, we have interviewed and engaged Dr. Jeffery W. Johnson of Ames, Iowa to lead our Parish through this Visioning Process. Jeff comes highly recommended. He has provided visioning services to Dowling Catholic High School (West Des Moines), Christ the King Parish (Des Moines), Xavier High School (Cedar Rapids), the City of Ames, and Saint Albert High School (Council Bluffs). Dr. Johnson’s day job is that of the Lora and Russ Talbot Endowed president and CEO for the Iowa State University Alumni Association. As the result of a Visioning Process, Dowling Catholic High School in 2002 brought increased technology to the classrooms, a significant increase in their enrollment, as well as strengthened their Catholic identity. Christ the King Parish’s Visioning Process resulted in greater hospitality in all facets of parish life. In addition, the parish has broadened its vision from a school and parish to a campus that also includes: senior housing, a medical clinic, and a daycare. What exactly is a Visioning Process? Simply stated, a Visioning Process is designed to arrive at a picture (statement) of the success one hopes to achieve at a particular time in the future. It is also important to note that a vision is not a mission statement, nor is it a strategic plan. A Visioning Process is the description of what “success” looks and feels like for a group— what that body is able to achieve, and the effect that a vision will have on all those associated with that organization. The success of Holy Trinity’s Visioning Process will require broad participation from many in our parish and community. At the end, we desire our vision to be inspiring, aspiring, strategically sound, documented, and broadly communicated. Jeff’s facilitation of our Visioning Process will be instrumental in helping us arrive at these outcomes. Again, we look forward to broad involvement from our parish and community family. I invite you to mark January 9 & 10th on your calendars. On that weekend, Dr. Johnson will be speaking at all the Masses. Please hold our Parish in your prayers as we begin an exciting process for our future. We will have a social after each of the Masses where questions about the Visioning Process can be raised. In the upcoming year, parishioners are invited to pray the Trinity Rosary…this rosary invites us to intentionally pray the rosary each day for one week. The Trinity Rosary leads individuals to pray for wisdom and guidance as we review our lives and plan for the upcoming year. In addition, we pray for mercy and peace as well as unity in our home and world. The members of your household can pray the rosary or one can invite friends over to the house for a time of prayer. The Trinity Rosary is not a big time commitment, but the blessings and graces received from this prayer are remarkable. A beautiful wooden case has been created to focus one’s prayer. Inside the case are rosaries and prayer cards on how to pray the rosary. In addition, there is an icon of the Holy Trinity as well as a crucifix showing images of the Trinity. To participate in the Trinity Rosary, a web-based signup has been created at http://vols.pt/W4bNrX Go out to the website, (or the call the parish office if you do not have internet access) and sign up for a week in which you will pray the rosary each day. At the end of the week, please give the prayer kit to the next household that is scheduled for the Trinity Rosary. This Jubilee Year is a great opportunity for our Parish to reflect on and plan for a vision of where we want to go, as well as to deepen the bonds of unity in our homes and community. The staff of our Church and School wishes you and your family the graces of Christmas…. Peace, joy, and love, SPIRITUALITY OF THE READINGS December 27, 2015 Reading I: Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14 or 1 Samuel 1:20-22, 24-28 Responsorial Psalm 128:1-2, 3, 4-5 or 84:2-3, 5-6, 9-10 Reading II: Colossians 3:12-21 or 3:12-17 or 1 John 3:1-2, 21-24 Gospel: Luke 2:41-52 There He Sat Jesus is twelve years old. The family had gone up with many others to Jerusalem for the feast of Passover. Passover lasted eight days, plus the customary celebrations. Always there was a great procession to Jerusalem from all over the country, many villages represented. Parents all watched out for each other’s children. Joseph, Mary and Jesus always went to the big holy days, with the reading of the Haggadah, and especially with the special foods, songs, and customs of the Seder, which was the focal point of the Passover celebration. As expected, Jesus, obedient, stayed with his parents. The savory and pungent odors must have pleased him, even though they were mixed with human and animal fragrances, and with the dust of Jerusalem, ancient even then. And finally it was over. Imagine reassembling the caravan and pulling everything into order. The procession resembled a huge family, so you knew your child would be with friends or relatives when he was not by your side. Road dust replaced the Jerusalem scents. It was a happy time, with people remembering the festivities, remembering the earliest acts of God on behalf of his people. The sun began to sink and families came together for sleep. “Joseph, I think we should look for Jesus. He is probably playing with his friends,” she said. Little did she know. No one had seen him anywhere. He was last sighted the day before. In Jerusalem. Mary’s heart must have broken. What mother on earth could not imagine it? Missing child. My child. Gone. They scour the cramped city. Day one, looking everywhere, no sign of him. They sleep an hour or so. Day two, searching every corner, asking everyone, pursuing every trail. He was just not there. Kidnapping, slavery, terrible accidents, and so many more images hovered just beneath their consciousness. Just trust in God? Day three. To the temple, this time finally daring in their panic to enter directly into the utterly private rooms where teachers and Rabbis debated minor and major points of scripture. No plain people were allowed there, especially poor travelers. But there he sat. Perfectly at home for these three eternal days, the twelve year old. Questioning teachers and answering them. “Son, how could you? How could you?” His answer was odd and we are told that Mary pondered it in her heart for years to come. Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house? Wasn’t this preposterous? He needed a good spanking if he thought desertion of his parents was perfectly fine. But let us ponder it, with Mary, and look into his future. He did not come to earth in order to forever be Mary and Joseph’s child. Just the opposite. Mary and Joseph came into earthly existence to prepare this boy for his role as the adult son of the Father of all things. Like every family, their duty was to send their young children out from home as they step toward adulthood. In this case, even at twelve years old, he was showing how God interacts with the world. Go where love requires, prepare for real life as a real human being. The future was pulling at them. And in their case, it pointed toward events that would affect the whole world. Fr. John Foley, S. J. of the Center for Liturgy Image: Rembrandt, The Adoration of the Magi, 1634 FAITH QUESTIONS? Question for Children: Why is it important to obey our parents? Why is it important to obey God? Question for Youth: Jesus was obedient to his parents, even though he was the Son of God. Why is obedience so important? Is it something you struggle with? Question for Adults: How are you, too, called to our Father’s house? SPIRITUALITY OF THE READINGS January 3, 2015 Reading I: Isaiah 60:1-6 Responsorial Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 10-11, 12-13 Reading II: Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12 King? The Wise Men (“Magi”) cross one more kingdom in their long journey. Courteous, they visit the monarch of that kingdom, not knowing he was the infamous Herod. Every amenity took place: formal welcome, diplomatic over-do, huge meals, fine drinks. These excesses must happen, even in a commonplace kingdom. Finally, when the moment arrives, the Magi pose their question. “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We have read the signs and know of his birth.” They trust Herod for the truth, since, obviously, this infant will be the next in line after Herod. This seems like a sincere question, but it strikes terror into Herod’s heart. He does what psychologists call a “reaction formation” maintaining diplomatic balance, smilingly temporizing with a promise to find the answer, and skillfully ending the meeting for that night. But, in his heart, Newborn King? No, no, no! I am the king! My descent is the answer to this menace. Herod is quietly shouting, do something! Do something. Go to the chief priests and scribes! He gathers them and charms them with his version of a “honest” question, an idle interest. Do you experts, busy studying day and night, do you know anything about the predicted Messiah figure we used to hope for? If he were to be born today, I wonder where that would be? these Magi, who would go and search out the baby for him. He stole across the halls and utters the words, “Bethlehem is the place! The child is in Bethlehem! Just go find him. Oh, and of course, let me know where he is. Why? So that I too may do him homage.” Death is the homage Herod has in mind. His lust for power simply must banish the power of love in order to stay in control. He is quite willing to compete directly, even with God and Christ. He is accepting in advance the deal Satan will offer to Jesus in the desert thirty years later: “You can control the whole world, if you will only fall down and worship me. Help me defeat God.” Satan was a power-monger too. But for Jesus, strange to say, “power” was not at all the same thing Herod and Satan were grabbing for. They wanted to become bigger and bigger, to out-stretch infinity. The goal of the Messiah was to become less and less, to become transparent, like love is. Heavy selfish greed cannot demolish this heavenly plan, but it surely can seem to. To Herod it certainly must have. But the child’s weakness shows what God has in mind, the answer to evil. Tender, unfearing openness to love. In our sinfulness, we refuse such a plan. Mary, Joseph and Jesus will never win out, will they? Evil will triumph in the end, won’t it? The cross will do what Herod could not do, but that Satan could. Or will it? Do you have the courage to bet on love? Fr. John Foley, S. J. of the Center for Liturgy Image: Fra Angelico and Fra Filippo Lippi, Adoration of the Magi, c. 1440/1460 Detail FAITH QUESTIONS? In Bethlehem of Judea, they respond, where the great King David was born. Herod knew these experts knew the scriptures, as he did not. The Messiah would be David’s successor, shepherd of the people Israel, fulfiller of everything the Jewish people had awaited for centuries. Question for Children: In your life, who helps you to see Jesus in other people such as a classmate or a friend? The Herodian head swirled. At last he formed a plan. Kill him. Herod will disclose the location, Bethlehem, to Question for Adults: How this past week did you demonstrate God’s love at home and at work? Question for Youth: The star guided the Magi to Jesus. What are the people or events who have guided you in your relationship with Jesus?

Like his father and brother, John was a fisherman on Lake Gennesaret until, with James, he was called by Jesus to follow him. John was the youngest of the apostles. He and James were called "sons of thunder" by Jesus because of their volatile temperaments. Many events in all of the gospels attest to the fact that John was among those apostles closest to Jesus. Perhaps the best known incident is at the Crucifixion, where Jesus placed his mother, Mary, in the care of John. And he, representing all of us, was commended to Mary as her son. St. Paul refers to John, along with Peter and James, as "these leaders, these pillars" of the Church in Jerusalem (Gal. 2:9). According to tradition, John went to Rome during one of the early persecutions under Emperor Domitian and miraculously escaped martyrdom by emerging from a cauldron of boiling oil unscathed. He was exiled to the island of Patmos where he began his writing with the Book of Revelation. Later, after the death of Domitian, John returned to Ephesus where he wrote the fourth gospel and three epistles. He died there in about 100, the last surviving apostle and the only apostle who did not suffer martyrdom. The writings of John are unique among the Evangelists. In many of the events recorded by him, he writes as a playwright would; first setting the stage, then describing the characters, and, finally, presenting the dialog which took place. Three examples of this quality found in his gospel are Jn 4:5-42 (the woman at the well); Jn 9:1-41 (the man born blind), and Jn 11:1-45 (Lazarus raised from the dead). St. John the Evangelist is often called St. John the Divine in England and in the Eastern Church. A Feast honors this saint on December 27. John’s message today: Imagine being one of Jesus’ closest friends! Imagine living, working, and sharing your life with the Messiah, traveling where he traveled, witnessing his miracles, listening to his stories. Toward the end of his life, John recorded his experiences as a disciple of Jesus so that we can have an idea of what it was like to know Jesus. Reading Scripture will help you develop a stronger relationship with Jesus. Start with John’s first letter to get an idea of how much God loves you. John Neumann, Bishop, 1811-1860 John Neumann was born in what is now the Czech Republic. At an early age, he was attracted to the religious life and entered the seminary. Unable to be ordained in Bohemia due to a surplus of priests, John went to the United States where he was ordained in 1836. The next few years were spent in missionary work, primarily among German-speaking Catholics in upstate New York. In 1840, he joined the newly established branch of the Redemptorists in Pittsburgh and became the first Redemptorist to take his vows in the United States. John continued his missionary work in Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, and in 1847, he was named superior of the American Redemptorists. In 1852, John Neumann was consecrated as the fourth bishop of Philadelphia. He now had an opportunity to make great inroads into what had become his passion: the education of poor German, French, Irish, and Indian Catholics. During his eight years as Bishop of Philadelphia, he reorganized the diocese, as well as opening eighty new churches and nearly one hundred schools. To staff these schools, John brought in many religious orders of priests and nuns. At the first national council of Catholic bishops, he helped to map out a plan of Catholic education for the whole United States. Although active in his support of education and busy with the duties of leading a diocese, John Neumann was never far from his people. By the time he became bishop, he spoke twelve languages and made it a point to address each of his people in their own language. At the time of his death, John was renowned for his holiness, charity, pastoral work, and his preaching. John Neumann was canonized in 1977 by Pope Paul VI, becoming the first American male saint and the first American bishop to be sainted. He is the patron of Catholic education. A memorial honors this saint on January 5th. John’s message today: John Neumann’s goal was to have a school in every Catholic parish. This was very nearly realized by the middle of the twentieth century. While the numbers of schools has fallen in the years since, the need for educating our children in their faith remains as strong as ever.
