UVOD U MISNA ČITANJA
I. Bog je slobodan u svome odabranju, baš kao i čovjek u svome odazivu. Kada Bog odabire pojedinca za svoju službu daje mu i jakost da u toj službi izdrži do kraja jer ona je dar.
II. Ljubav je pokretač svijeta. Bog je iz ljubavi stvorio čovjeka, a mi smo jedni drugima poslani u ljubavi. Čovjek bez ljubavi nije nista, jer ćemo po ljubavi biti suđeni.
III. Riječ koju Bog upućuje čovjeku uvijek donosi ploda. Kada Isus nastupa u sinagogi, plod njegove riječi jest upravo reakcija onih koji su zadovoljni svojim trenutnim stanjem iako su pozvani na više.

RESPECT LIFE MESSAGE
“Science can tell us what is, but it can’t tell us good from bad, right from wrong. Therefore it is not anti-science to oppose embryonic stem cell research and human cloning. It is pro-science to care enough to keep this powerful enterprise within proper ethical parameters.” Wesley Smith, NRL News, June 2008.

PRIKAZANJE GOSPODINOVO ili SVIJEĆNICA
Četrdeset dana nakon Isusova rođenja, njegova ga majka, vjerna zakonu, prikazuje Bogu u jeruzalemskom hramu. Zajedno sa [imunom i mi to dijete priznajemo i slavimo kao “svjetlost na prosvjetljenje naroda i slavu puka svoga izraelskoga.”
VAŽNA PORUKA ŽUPNIKA
Prošli tjedan ste primili godišnji izvještaj o tome koliko pojedinačno financijski pomažete našu hrvatsku župu.
Koristim i ovu prigodu da vam zahvalim na lojalnosti i darežljivosti prema župi. Župa bez financijskih sredstava ne može funkcionirati, ali ipak vaše sudjelovanje na nedjeljnoj Misi je ono što svaki svećenik najviše cijeni.
Sukladno biskupijskom stardardu naš ured registrira samo dobrinose koje šaljete čekom ili u koverti pod vašim registarskim brojem. K tome, federalni zakon traži da svaki dar župi morate opravdati potvrdom župe.
Zato vas molim da poslušate preporuku župskog vijeća te se registrirate kao aktivni članovi župe. Uz ostale beneficije to vam omogućuje da župski centar ili malu dvoranu možete unajmiti po najnižoj cijeni.
BLAGDAN BL. KARDINALA STEPINCA
U nedjelju 14. veljače na Velentinovo proslavit ćemo također i blagdan jednoga u dugom nizu hrvatskih mučenika: blaženoga kardinala Alojzija Stepinca. Na 10. veljače navršit će se punih 50 godina od njegove smrti u zatočeništvu rodnog Krašica. Svečano će bogoslužje uzveličati župski pjevački zbor uz pratnju orgulja i tamburaškog orkestra.
Budući da je blaženi Kardinal zaštitnik župskog obiteljskog Društva, društvo će pripremiti ručak. Ubilježite ovaj datum i dođite na sv. Misu i ručak jer ovo je prvo slavlje u nizu slavlja kojima se obilježava stogodišnjica župe. |
HVALA NA BOŽIĆNOM DARU ŽUPI
u iznosu od $44,030.00.
Zahvaljujući vašoj velikodušnosti i ljubavi, sve vjerske, kulturne i društvene aktivnosti u župi mogu besprijekorno funkcionirati. Neka vas za darežljivost dobri Bog višestruko nagradi!
RELIGION & CROATIAN SCHOOL CLASSES
resumed after Christmas break. Religious education classes precede the 10:30AM Mass. Croatian Children School classes are being held immediately after Mass in the parish center.
Students, keep in mind that Sunday Mass attendance is the essential part of religious education and the most important ingredient of Croatian tradition and culture.
TOGETHER IN MISSION 2010
The theme of the campaign is “I give thanks to you, O Lord” Psalm 138:1. This week, you are asked to read and reflect upon the Together in Mission materials that you will find in the vestibule of the church and in the parish center.
Together in Mission provides substantial financial support to 35 parishes and 61 schools in our Archdiocese. These parishes and schools provide education, ministry and a Catholic presence for tens of thousands of people.
Sometimes it is difficult to envision how your pledge can help so many, but it does. To see how, please review the materials and read the statements of those whose parishes and schools receive aid.
When you receive your pledge form in the mail next week, please complete it and mail it back or bring it to Mass next weekend. Also, we will conduct Together in Mission in-pew pledge process at all Masses next Sunday. Remember to make your checks payable to “St. Anthony Croatian Church” with the memo TIM. This year our parish is taxed to give to the campaign $9,046.50.
As always, what you give should be given in gratitude for what God has given you. Thank you for your prayerful consideration and generous response. |
