If you have been asked to be a Godparent or Confirmation Sponsor, please know that you will be required to be a registered parishioner of the Cathedral of Christ the King for three months before we can issue a “letter in good standing” with your parish as is normally required by the parish issuing the sacrament. If you have any questions, or if you are in need of a letter in good standing, please contact the Cathedral, 404-233-2145 What Is An “Active” Parishioner Status? Active parishioners rightfully look to their parish for any number of services. Among these are: • Certification as godparents/sponsors for Baptisms and Confirmation • Active parishioner tuition rates in Catholic schools • Scheduling of the facilities for liturgical services such as Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals. • Enrolling children in the Religious Education Programs and Sacramental Programs for First Reconciliation, First Eucharist and Confirmation. These rights and services within the Church bring with them certain obligations, as in any form of community. The criteria for determining active parishioner status includes: • Be a registered member of the parish for at least three months. • Attend Mass at Christ the King on a regular basis. • Support the parish through the giving of your time, talent and treasure. Receiving regular mailings from the Cathedral (newsletters, envelopes) means that you are registered in the parish. If you are not registered, please pick up a registration form at the back of the church or at the front desk. Pastoral Care Ministry invites you to a HEALING MASS And Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick WEDNESDAY, February 9, 2011 7:00 PM in the Cathedral HOSPITALITY following Mass in the gathering space PRAYER TEAMS are available to pray with you in Kenny Hall.

Stewardship of Treasure How shall I repay the Lord for his goodness to me?” Psalm 116 Blessed are they who are what they are and do what they do for the sake of the kingdom!

FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Christ the King School Peggy Warner, Principal • 404-233-0383 • www.christking.org Georgia Natural Gas Honors CKS at Atlanta Falcons Game On December 27th, Christ the King School was presented with a check on the field at the Atlanta Falcons football game when Georgia Natural Gas recognized the top five schools from their True Blue School’s program. As the fourth largest recipient of funds through this program, CKS was included in the honorees. With 110 participating parents and parishioners, CKS has received a total of $10,450 since the program’s inception in 2009. How Can You Help? If you are a GNG customer, all you need to do is logon to the GNG True Blue Schools website – www.trueblueschools.com – select Christ the King School and provide your account number. For as long as you are a GNG customer, the school will receive $5 per month, at absolutely no cost to you. It’s as easy as that to donate $60 per year to CKS! If you are not currently a GNG customer and want to participate in this program, you will need to log onto the GNG True Blue Schools website – www.trueblueschools.com - and select the option that says “I Want to Become a GNG Customer.” Once you have done that, select Christ the King School as your school of choice and follow the remaining instructions on how to become a GNG customer. Christ the King School will then receive a $40 one-time donation plus $5 per month for as long as you are a customer. As Georgians, most of us must pay for natural gas anyway – so why not purchase yours from a company that will support Christ the King School? Please take the time to register today!

No serious scholar, including one disposed to agree with the Court's result, has argued that the framers of the Constitution intended to create such a right. Shortly after the Roe v. Wade decision, Professor John Hart Ely, now Dean of Stanford Law School, wrote that the opinion "is not constitutional law and gives almost no sense of an obligation to try to be." Nowhere do the plain words of the Constitution even hint at a "right" so sweeping as to permit abortion up to the time the child is ready to be born. Yet that is what the Court ruled. As an act of "raw judicial power" (to use Justice White's biting phrase), the decision by the seven-man majority in Roe v. Wade has so far been made to stick. But the Court's decision has by no means settled the debate. Instead, Roe v. Wade has become a continuing prod to the conscience of the nation.” – President Ronald Reagan, in his book Abortion and the Conscience of the Nation (1983).

El resto de Israel eran aquellos miembros del pueblo que a pesar de tantas infidelidades de la mayoría, permanecieron fieles a la voluntad de Dios. Eran gente justa y humilde. A través de ellos Dios reveló su amor especial por la pobreza, la humildad y la sencillez. La predilección de Dios por la gente humilde y sencilla vuelve en el texto de la segunda lectura. Para San Pablo estas cualidades son una bendición, porque conceden la verdadera sabiduría de Dios y de su Evangelio, que permanece escondido para los autosuficientes y para los “sabios” según el mundo. El tema litúrgico de hoy es sobre las cualidades que Dios realmente aprecia en la gente. Este fue el mensaje de las dos primeras lecturas. El Evangelio lleva este tema a su plenitud, anunciando las Bienaventuranzas. Las Bienaventuranzas son el corazón del Evangelio. Son el resumen del estilo de vida de Jesús, exigido a sus seguidores. Por lo tanto las bienaventuranzas son un retrato del mismo Jesús, y un ideal para sus discípulos. Las Bienaventuranzas conllevan valores y estilos de vida en agudo contraste con muchos de los criterios prevalentes hoy día. Ambición de poder, orgullo, no son valores; de acuerdo con las primeras dos Bienaventuranzas, el verdadero valor es la confianza y la humildad con respecto a Dios, y un corazón abierto que espera de Dios el don de su Reino. Buscar solo nuestro interés y nuestra comodidad, despreocupándonos de los demás no es un valor. Lo que es valioso, de acuerdo con la tercera y cuarta Bienaventuranza es una profunda preocupación por los demás, por los sufrientes, por los pobres y por aquellos que sufren injusticia y opresión. Las Bienaventuranzas nos piden ser misericordiosos como Jesús es misericordioso, lleno de compasión por todas las formas de miseria y siempre dispuesto a perdonar. Las Bienaventuranzas piden de nosotros trabajar por la paz y la fraternidad ahí donde podemos ejercer influencia (familia, amistades, profesión o trabajo…). Nos exigen ser puros de corazón, esto es, liberar nuestros corazones y acciones de “ídolos”, que toman el lugar de Dios y que impiden nuestro crecimiento en el amor. Las Bienaventuranzas piden de nosotros aceptar los sufrimientos y pruebas de la vida como Jesús lo hizo. Y aceptar las formas de hostilidad que acompañan, eventualmente, nuestro apego a la verdad y a la justicia. FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME ADMINISTRACIÓN DE LOS BIENES DE DIOS ¡Benditos sean aquellos quienes son lo que son y que hacen lo que hacen por el reino! ¡El Evangelio de hoy les asegura a los buenos Administradores que su sufrimiento y su servicio a favor del Reino serán recompensados! Catedral: $1,568 Lindbergh: $402 ¡CUENTA CONMIGO COLOMBIA! La temporada invernal en Colombia en los últimos meses ha dejado más de 300 muertos y unos dos millones de damnificados.
