BINGO NEWS: For many years Bingo has been one of
the important sources of income for our parish school.
Dorothy Dosen, who has been running our Bingo for
the last few years has decided to hand it over to a new
person. At this time we are unable to find anyone to
take over the responsibility. Also for the last several
years the profit from Bingo has been steadily
dropping. Pull-tabs that we sell at Bingo is what keeps
Bingo afloat at times. Unless we are able to find someone
to take over the running of Bingo, we will be forced to
suspend it at this time. If there is anyone who is willing
to help us out, please contact the parish office as soon
as possible. If you have some ideas how to improve
Bingo or how to raise the money that we will no longer
be getting, please let us know. We need your help and
ideas. We are grateful to Dorothy and to Irene and Felton
Brown who have been working at our Bingo.
The Archdiocese has asked us to introduce a new
way of giving to our parish. We have in the Christmas
mailings, sent information about the electronic giving
(GIVE CENTRAL) where you can set up automatic
withdrawals and make your contribution to our parish
on a regular basis. You have full control on how much
and how often you would like to make the donation. It
will make it easier for you, you do not have to worry
about writing checks or having cash available and you
can save on postage. If you need help signing up,
please contact us. We will also have weekends where
you can sign up in the lobby of the church. Please
respond as soon as you can. We also hope to set up
this ear, on our web-site for you to make a donation to
the church. This would be of great help to the church
of assuring us of a regular flow of income.
Masses in memory of your loved ones: If you like to offer
a Mass in memory of your loved ones for an anniversary or
any specific date, please contact the parish office at least
two months before the desired date. The usual donation
is $10.00. The Mass book for 2015 is getting filled up
quickly, Sunday 9:30am and 11:00 Masses are multiintention Masses where we can have more than one
intention; all others are only one intention.

Dragi Župljani, Svjesni smo činjenice da su s
vremenom doprinosi u župnu blagajnu opali.
Nadbiskupija nas je zamolila da vas upoznamo s
novim načinom dostavljanja vaše pomoći župi. Primili
ste sve potrebne informacija o tzv. elektroničnom
dostavljanju milostinje (GIVE CENTRAL). Vi ćete sa
svojom bankom moći urediti da ona s vašeg
bankovnog računa redovno dostavlja vaš nedjeljni
dar župi. Nad tim ćete imati potpunu kontrolu koliko
i kako često ćete dati milodar. Time ćemo vam
olakšati, nećete se morati brinuti oko pisanja čekova,
niti se brinuti o novcu u gotovini, imate li ga dovoljno
uza se ili nemate. A oni koji inače šalju svoj dar
poštom, uštedjet će na poštarini. Ako imate problema
upisati se nazovite župni ured. Imat ćemo osobe na
ulazu crkve koje vam mogu pomoć. Nadamo se da
ćemo u idućoj godini i preko župne ‘’web stranice’’
omogućiti vam dostavljanje milostinje župi. Ovo će i
za župu biti velika olakšica, jer će nova stizati
redovno u njenu riznicu.

Sv. Timotej i Tit
26. siječnja
Sv. Timotej i Tit—učenici su i nastavljači djela sv.
Pavla. Njima je Pavao uputio svoje poslanice:
Timoteju dvije i Titu jednu. Podsjeća ih na ono u
što ih je uputio te od njih zahtijeva vjernost pozivu
i poslanju. Tradicija nam Crkve prenosi da su bili
vjerni Pavlovu ‘’rukopoloženja’’: Timotej kao biskup
u Efezu, a Tit na Kreti. Najbolje ćemo upoznati
likove ovih Pavlovih ‘’nasljedovatelja’’ ako pomno
pročitamo Djela apostolska: 1. i 2. Timoteju te
Titu, poslanice koje je napisao Pavao.

Božić
Radost susreta s Bogom
Božićna pšenica
Na sv. Luciju, 13. prosinca, sijala
se pšenica, što se održalo i do danas. Klice bi se raširile po velikome
plitkom tanjuru. Na sredinu bi se stavila jedna široka čaša. Ta čaša je do
Božića
bile prazna, ali bi se na BadŽUPNIKOVA
njak,kada
je pšenica već narasla i zaPORUKA
zelenila, ona napunila žitom: kukuruzom i pšenicom. Da bi bila bujnija i ljepša,. Pšenica je podrezivala i držala i vlažnim U žito bi se stavile tri božićne svijeće, a oko
njih bi se isplela hrvatska trobojnica. U sredini je morala biti lijepa, crvena jabuka, Ovako pripremljena božićna pšenica bila je
simbol obilja i plodnosti te zdravlja i mira, kako u domu, tako i u
narodu. Oko božićne pšenice se od Badnjaka do trećega dana
Božića okupljala cijela obitelj u molitvi i zajedničkome blagovanju.
Badnjak
Badnjak je dan uoči Božića. Naziv ‘’Badnjak’’ dolazi od riječi
‘’bdjeti’’, jer se na badnju večer pobožno bdjelo četkajući Isusov
dolazak. Manje je poznato da je Badnjak dobio ime po panju
hrasta ili masline, koji je stavljao na otvoreno ognjište—komin,
da tamo gori cijelu Badnju noć, nekada i nekoliko dana. U nekim se krajevima po badnjaku polijevalo vino ili maslinovo ulje, ali
svugdje je značenje bilo jednako—pan koji je gorio, simbolično je
označavao svjetlo i toplinu. Svjetlo to je novorođeni Spasitelj, a
toplina je znak Kristove ljubavi iz koje je za nas l jude postao
čovjekom. U Hercegovini je bio običaj da je glava obitelji, obično
otac, uni hrastov badnjak u kući pozdravljajući: ‘’Hvaljen Isus! Na
dobro vam došao Božić i sveto porođenje Isusovo!’’ A sva bi
okupljena kućna čeljad skladno odgovarala: ‘’I s tobom Bog dao
zajedno!’’ I tako tri puta uz tri zapaljena badnjaka.
Božićna slama
Hrvatski božićni običaj koji su dio duge hrvatske tradicije razvili su se uz slavljenje Božića. Jedan od njih je od starine unošenje slame u kuću. U kuću bi je unosio na Badnju večer domaćin,
glava obitelji. Slama je bila razasuta pod stolom, po podu na njoj
se često i prespavalo. Slama je vjerojatno simbolizirala novorođenoga siromašnog Isusa koji se rodio u štalici i ležao na slamici.
Slama se iz kuće iznosila na treći dan Božića, ponegdje na svetkovinu Bogojavljenja, Sveta tri kralja i stavljala se pod voćke uz
vjerovanje da je to blagoslov koji će osigurati rodnost iduće godine. Postoji izreka: ‘’Treći dan slama van’’, a to znači da je kuću
trebalo očistiti od slame. Badnjak ili okićeni bor je još ostao u
kući, a na stolu pšenica i litnjak—trebalo je sve to dočekati svećenika i blagoslov kuća na blagdan Triju kraljeva. Prema rasporedu je svećenik s dvojicom ministranata blagoslivljao kuće, a pravi domaćini su ga uvijek trebali dočekati na vratima.
Kada je svećenik blagoslovio kuću i ukućane, tek tada se
skidao bor i uklanjali su se svi božićni ukrasi.

Church teaching on abortion
is rooted in Scripture
(by Msgr. C. Eugene Morris)
Q. How does the Church support its position
against abortion from Sacred Scripture
It is true: Nowhere in the Gospels does
Christ explicitly condemn the scourge of
abortion and its companion, artificial contraception. This lack of scriptural evidence
becomes for some license to disregard
Church teaching, but sadly betrays confusion about the teaching of the church as well as the nature and authority
of Sacred Scripture.
The consistent teaching of the Church regarding the evils of abortion
along with contraception and the general dignity of the human person
finds its scriptural basis in the story of creation in the Book of Genesis.
Again, you will not find specific prohibitions mentioned in Genesis regarding abortion and contraception.
However, you will find affirmations of the dignity of the human person
created in the image and likeness of God; you will find an articulation of
the right relationship that should exist between a man and woman who
become husband and wife and soulmates for each other; you will find
the exhortation to be fruitful and multiply.
Building on this foundation, there are other passages in Sacred
Scripture that affirm the sanctity of human life and articulate how people
should live with one another according to the law of God. All those passages taken together provide scriptural support for the Church’s teachings regarding abortion and contraception. It is this comprehensive understanding of Sacred Scripture that makes it possible to see and articulate God’s guiding hand throughout salvation history.
It is important to point out that the Church builds her foundation on
two great pillars: Sacred Scripture and Tradition. These are never in
conflict with each other. On the contrary, they form the solid basis for
the clear and consistent teachings of our faith in all its aspects. As such,
the Church never solely looks to Sacred Scripture for “proof” of her
teachings nor does Holy Mother Church ignore the indispensable role
Sacred Scripture plays as a source for revelation.
Scripture alone is not the rallying cry for the Catholic faith but reflects
the Protestant approach to both Scripture and Tradition. There is a false
comfort that comes from being able to turn to Scripture only as the
source of Church teaching. Yet it neglects the historical development of
Sacred Scripture unfolding in the context of the Church’s Tradition. One
who searches only in Sacred Scripture for every aspect of the Christian
faith will be disappointed. However, one seeking to understand the
Catholic Faith in the light of both Scripture and Tradition will find all that
he or she needs.
