Wisconsin Avenue • Appleton, WI 54911 -4875 February 13, 2011 Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time A Valentine's Day Blessing Love, the Bible says, is patient. May you never lose your temper with the one you love, but be patient as God was with his people. Love, the Bible says, is never boastful. May you cherish your love as a masterpiece of God, and not as a trophy to be displayed. Love, the Bible says, is never selfish. May you always be generous to your love, with time, with affection, with encouragement and assistance. For as Christ loved the Church, so we should love our beloved. As Mary was devoted to her Son, so we should be devoted to those we love. And as God loved and sacrificed for the world, so may we always be to those we love. Amen. 2 Welcome to St. Therese Parish · Appleton, WI “Notes from Fr. Bill” World Day of the Sick On February 11, we celebrate the World Day of the Sick, an event that coincides with the apparition of Our Lady of Lourdes. The objective of this day is to create consciousness among the Christian community on the importance of the ministry of caring for the sick. Often times in our lives and families this “care” is given quietly and lovingly; many of you have been „caregivers‟ with your children when they were sick, with an aging mother or father, or with a spouse. In his message for this day, Pope Benedict cites the parable of the Good Samaritan who took pity on a man, left for dead on the road following an attack by thieves, and took him to heal his wounds. At the end of the parable, Jesus said: “Go and do likewise.” With these words he is also addressing us. Jesus exhorts us to bend over the physical and mental wounds of so many of our brothers and sisters whom we meet on the highways of the world. He helps us to understand that with God‟s grace, accepted and lived out in our daily life, the experience of sickness and suffering can become a school of hope. In his encyclical Spe salvi, Pope Benedict affirms that “It is not by sidestepping or fleeing from suffering that we are healed, but rather by our capacity for accepting it, maturing through it and finding meaning through union with Christ, who suffered with infinite love.” We pray for our sick: “O most loving Virgin of Lourdes, Mother of God and our mother! Filled with affliction and with tears flowing from our eyes, we turn to you in the bitter hours of sickness so that your motherly love may pour abundantly on us the treasures of your mercy. …obtain from your Divine Son Jesus Christ the health we wish, if that will be to the greater glory of God…Amen. Our Lady of Lourdes, pray for us. Comforter of the afflicted, pray for us. Health of the infirm, pray for us. Jornada Mundial del Enfermo El próximo 11 de febrero, se llevará a cabo la Jornada Mundial del Enfermo que coincide con la celebración de la primera aparición de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes. El objetivo de este día es sensibilizar a toda la comunidad cristiana sobre la importancia del servicio pastoral en la salud. Cuántas familias dan este servicio en silencio, atendiendo a un hijo enfermo, los padres en su vejez, o un esposo/a. El Papa Benedicto, en su mensaje para la Jornada Mundial del Enfermo, cita la parábola del buen Samaritano, donde éste se apiada del pobre hombre al que los ladrones dejaron medio muerto en el camino, llevándoselo y curando sus heridas. Al final de la parábola, Jesús dice: “Ve y haz tú los mismo.” Esto nos exhorta a inclinarnos hacia las heridas del cuerpo y el espíritu de nuestros hermanos alrededor del mundo. Nos ayuda también a comprender que con la gracia de Dios, la experiencia de la enfermedad y del sufrimiento puede llegar a ser escuela de esperanza. En su encíclica Spe salvi el Papa Benedicto afirma: “lo que cura al hombre no es esquivar el sufrimiento y huir ante el dolor, sino la capacidad de aceptar la tribulación, madurar en ella y encontrar en ella un sentido mediante la unión con Cristo, que sufrió con amor infinito.” Oremos por nuestros enfermos: “Oh amabilísima Virgen de Lourdes, Madre de Dios y Madre nuestra! Llenos de aflicción y con lágrimas fluyendo de los ohos, acudimos en las horas amargas de la enfermedad a tu corazón maternal, para pedirte que derrames a manos llenas el tesoro de tus misericordias sobre nosotros. …alcánzale de tu Divino Hijo Jesucristo la deseada salud, si ha de ser para mayor gloria de Dios …Amen.” Virgen de Lourdes, ruega por nosotros. Consuelo de los afligidos, ruega por nosotros. Salud de los enfermos, ruega por nosotros. CELEBRACIÓN DEL PADRE ELIAS NIEVES FUNDRAISER.

You are unable to attend Sunday Mass. For some people within the Catholic Diocese, this is a reality. The Bishop‟s Appeal makes it possible for the homebound to celebrate God‟s Good News with thousands of Catholics across the airwaves. TV Mass provides them with the opportunity to participate in Sunday Liturgy while bringing comfort and joy to people in need. It is a sort of peace that one can only achieve through their relationship with God. Making a gift makes a difference in the life of someone else and is one way we are called to serve the Lord.
