Featured Article
The Presentation of the Lord Today’s feast is both magnificent and mysterious: magnificent because the very first contemporaries of Jesus begin to recognize him as Christ, the anointed Savior of the world; mysterious, because this King is still a child, an obscure boy obedient to his earthly parents. The prophet Malachi—living and dying before the coming of Christ—points to-ward the arrival of the Messiah and encourages God’s people to pre-pare themselves by living generous, holy lives. The Letter to the He-brews—written after Jesus’ ministry, death, and resurrection—renews the prophetic call to holiness, reminding us that the Lord will always help us: “Because he himself was tested through what he suf-fered, he is able to help those who are being tested.” The Gospel read-ing overflows with examples of joyful men and women living God’s call to holiness. Mary, Joseph, Simeon, and Anna show us, in their own ways, how to love Christ. THE LIST GOES ON Today’s readings reflect on something close to the heart of every hu-man person: the fulfillment of our deepest desires. Without exception, each of us feels unfulfilled in some way. Despite advances in law, tech-nology, and medicine, every person experiences the frustration of “not yet” or “not enough.” Our hearts always want more. God plants this desire in our hearts. God knows how we ache. What most of us fail to believe, deep down, is that God alone satisfies all our longing. We know, theoretically, that the Creator of the universe pro-vides everything we need, but we could all use more quality time with God to consider the question, “What exactly do I need to be happy, Lord?” Perhaps we can spend more time in prayer and service, asking the Lord to show us what is truly important in life. ALWAYS READY FOR JESUS We often think, “Once I get this, or once that happens, then I will be happy.” But the Gospel shows a better way. All four adults in today’s Gospel long deeply for the Messiah and “the consolation of Israel” he will bring. Human temptation might obsess over the promise of future peace and prosperity, leaving only anxiety and resentment for present suffering. But Mary, Joseph, Simeon, and Anna leave the saving of the world to God; for their part, they focus on Jesus. Each of them keeps busy with daily details of the various lifestyles they have chosen. Mary and Joseph concern themselves with raising a family, while Simeon and Anna dedicate their lives to prayer in the temple. They find peace enough in fulfilling the obligations of their stations in life, maintaining a lively prayer life to be attentive to God’s action in the world. In to-day’s Gospel, their focus is literally and spiritually on Jesus. They mod-el for us how to be happy and holy: performing their daily duties peacefully, always ready to recognize Jesus as he reveals himself. Today’s Readings: Mal 3:1–4; Ps 24:7, 8, 9, 10; Heb 2:14–18; Lk 2:22–40 [22–32] Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
La Presentación del Señor LA LISTA CONTINUA Las lecturas de hoy reflexionan en algo que está cerca del corazón de cada persona: el cumplimiento de nuestros deseos más profundos. Sin excepción, cada uno de nosotros se siente insatisfecho de alguna manera. Pese a los progresos de la ley, la tecnología y la medicina, cada persona experimenta la frustración del “todavía no” o del “no es suficiente”. Nuestros corazones siempre quieren más. Dios planta este deseo en nuestros corazones. Dios sabe cómo sufrimos. Lo que mucho de nosotros fallamos en creer, muy profundamente, es que solo Dios satisface todos nuestros anhelos. Sabemos, teóricamente, que el Creador del universo provee todo lo que necesitamos, pero podríamos dedicar más tiempo de calidad con Dios para considerar la pregunta: “Señor, ¿qué es exactamente lo que necesito para ser feliz?” Quizá podemos dedicar más tiempo en la oración y el servicio, pidiendo al Señor que nos muestre lo que es verdaderamente importante en la vida. SIEMPRE LISTOS PARA JESÚS A menudo pensamos “cuando obtenga esto o cuando eso pase, entonces seré feliz”. Pero el Evangelio nos muestra una manera mejor. En el Evangelio de hoy, los cuatro adultos anhelan profundamente al Mesías y “la consolación de Israel” que él traerá. La tentación humana podría obsesionarse con la promesa de una paz y prosperidad futura, dejando solo la ansiedad y el resentimiento para un presente sufriente. Pero María, José, Simeón y Ana dejan la salvación del mundo a Dios; de su parte, ellos se enfocan en Jesús. Cada uno de ellos están ocupados con sus ocupaciones del día en sus trabajos que eligieron hacer. María y José están preocupados en como proveer a su familia, mientras que Simeón y Ana dedican sus vidas a orar en el Templo. Encuentran suficiente paz al cumplir sus obligaciones en sus estados de vida, manteniendo una vida de oración viva para estar atentos a las acciones de Dios en el mundo. En el Evangelio, sus prioridades están literal y espiritualmente en Jesús. Ellos modelan para nosotros cómo ser feliz y santo; haciendo sus deberes diarios pacíficamente, siempre listos para reconocer a Jesús mientras él se revela a sí mismo.

Auction 2020 Dinner Dance Bi-Annual Fundraising Event
Dear St. Matthew Parents and Parishioners, For the past few years, Saint Matthew community has been blessed with strong community support for Catholic education. We have been setting records with our fundraising. As the largest elementary school in the San Francisco Archdiocese, we continue to set trends through our partnership with the parish, strong academic program, and sound financials. The inception of our strategic plan outlines our commitment to remain a viable Catholic school option for our community. Our financials are framed on a 90/10 model where 90% of our operating expenses of over $4 million per year are covered by tuition fees. The remaining 10% is covered through fundraising activities. We hold two fundraising events each year with the expectation that we will receive 100% participation from our school families. This year the "Swing for Saint Matthew," event, our annual golf tournament was a huge success in that it
exceeded its goal giving us a great start in reaching our fundraising goal. Now we are focusing our energy on our spring event the Casino Royale Auction Dinner Dance. This is our single largest fundraising event. I am asking every family to contribute and get involved in this event. There are multiple ways that you can participate: be a sponsor, buy raffle tickets, donate goods or services, and/or volunteer. In the upcoming weeks, you will be invited to play a part in this event, and I encourage you to explore the ways to give. Your support to St. Matthew Catholic School will help us remain committed to academic excellence rich in the Catholic tradition. I am thankful for the tireless effort the auction committee is doing to make this fundraiser a success. I am appreciative to all those who have already contributed to the auction and I look forward to a wonderful event. In gratitude, Dr. Peterson
