WEEKLY READINGS
Meditations . . . “Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!”
(Philippians 4:4) St. Paul believed that rejoicing was a basic disposition
that we all should try to maintain, even when things
don’t go our way. In his short Letter to the Philippians,
in fact, he spoke about rejoicing fifteen times. And let’s
not forget that Paul was in prison when he wrote the let-
ter! He was not going to let his circumstances rob him of
his joy. So how did Paul maintain a joyful disposition? First,
he rejoiced because he knew Jesus’ love. If you back up
just two chapters in this letter, you’ll see him singing a
hymn that extols Jesus’ willingness to empty himself,
become a man, and die on the cross (Philippians 2:7-8).
And then in the next chapter, he writes, “I even consider
everything as a loss because of the supreme good of
knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (3:8). The thought of
Jesus’ love—a love that gives of itself freely—
continually filled Paul with joy. Second, Paul rejoiced in the Philippians themselves.
They were his joy and his crown (Philippians 4:1). They
were his dear friends who had joined him in a
“partnership for the gospel” (1:5). He rejoiced because
he knew he had brothers and sisters who loved him and
supported him in his faith. We will all encounter times of trial and suffering, but
Jesus asks us to rejoice whether or not the sun is shining
on us. He especially wants us to rejoice as we prepare for
Christmas. If Paul were here, he would urge us to keep
things in perspective—to look at our lives through the
lens of God’s love. He would urge us never to let anx-
iousness rule our lives, but to strive to keep our sense of
peace at all times. He would urge us to pray through the
tough times and to find reasons to rejoice. Jesus has done so much for us. Let’s repay him by re-
joicing in his love—and sharing that joy with the people
around us. “Lord, help me hold onto my joy, especially when I face
the difficult challenges of life.”

CHRISTMAS FLOWERS DONATIONS: By the grace of God, the second offering bin (wooden box stand) which had been stored away was fortunately found by one of our parishioners. It resembles the bin lost last year and represents an important part of our parish’s history. After a bit of polishing and replacing the lining of the box, it looks nice! This bin will be placed in the Church entrance for those who wish to donate toward the purchase of Christmas Altar flowers. Please help us keep a watchful eye on its location at all times. Thank you!

FROM THE DESK OF BISHOP SIS: Catholic Schools Collection (Jan. 26-27) “Our Catholic Schools are a ministry of the whole Church community. That is why I am calling on all parishes to support our diocesan Catholic schools in a special collection, January 26/27, 2019, to continue the rich tradition of Catholic education and its role in the Church’s mission of evangelization. Each school strives to provide an education that fulfills the vision of academic excellence embodied by the framework of Catholic teachings and faith practice. Catholic educa-tion seeks to provide the foundation to enable children to succeed in the classroom and later in life as re-sponsible citizens, but more importantly as people of faith. They represent a ministry of the whole Church, and the whole Church benefits from their work. Tuition does not cover the entire cost of educating a child, so the schools look to others, throughout the diocese, for additional revenues. All proceeds will be used to as-sist the schools in providing a Catholic education for as many students as possible.” Bishop Michael Sis
