February 9, 2020 SUNDAY COLLECTION February 2 $6,492.05 February 9—16 FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME A light set on a hill In 1886, one African-American priest served the U.S. church: former slave Augustus Tolton. Sad to say, Catholic America did- n’t abandon its racism overnight with Father Tolton’s ordination. Nearly a century later in 1979, U.S. bishops were still obliged to release a teaching on racism, Brothers and Sisters to Us. Yet more significantly, in 1984 ten black U.S. bishops wrote their own pastoral letter on evangelization, What We Have Seen and Heard. In it, they celebrate the historical inter- twining of Black America and Catholic America. Learn more about Tolton, Pierre Toussaint, Mary Elizabeth Lange, Henriette DeLille, and other significant black Catholic leaders. Una luz en una colina En 1886, un sacerdote afroamericano sirvió a la iglesia de los estados unidos: el ex esclavo Augustus Tolton. Es triste decir que la América católica no abandonó su racismo de la noche a la mañana con la ordenación del Padre Tolton. Casi un siglo después, en 1979, los obispos estadounidenses se vieron obligados a publicar una enseñanza sobre el racismo, Brothers and Sisters to Us (Hermanos y Hermanas para Nosotros). Más significativamente aún, en 1984 diez obispos estadounidenses negros escribieron su propia carta pastoral sobre la evangelización, What We Have Seen and Heard (Lo Que Hemos Visto y Oído). En ella celebran el histórico entrecruce de América Negra y América Católica. Investiga más acerca de Tolton, Pierre Toussaint, Mary Elizabeth Lange, Henriette DeLille, y otros importantes líderes Católicos negros.

Receiving Anointing 2. Attending the Reception ROSES AND THORNS A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully, and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom and also the thorns. And he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?" Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and be- fore it was ready to bloom, it died. So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at our- selves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventu- ally it dies. We never realize our potential. Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them. One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within oth- ers. This is the characteristic of love, to look at a person, and knowing his faults, recognize the nobility in his soul, and help him realize that he can overcome his faults. If we show him the rose, he will conquer the thorns. Our duty in this world is to help others by showing them their roses and not their thorns. Only then can we achieve the love we should feel for each other; only then can we bloom in our own garden. -- Author Unknown 2019 TAX RECEIPTS The tax receipts from your donations to the par- ish and Project Advance are now available for pick up at the back of the church.

ROSES AND THORNS
A certain man planted a rose and watered it faithfully, and before it blossomed, he examined it. He saw the bud that would soon blossom and also the thorns. And he thought, "How can any beautiful flower come from a plant burdened with so many sharp thorns?" Saddened by this thought, he neglected to water the rose, and be-fore it was ready to bloom, it died.
So it is with many people. Within every soul there is a rose. The God-like qualities planted in us at birth grow amid the thorns of our faults. Many of us look at our-selves and see only the thorns, the defects. We despair, thinking that nothing good can possibly come from us. We neglect to water the good within us, and eventu-ally it dies. We never realize our potential.
Some people do not see the rose within themselves; someone else must show it to them.
One of the greatest gifts a person can possess is to be able to reach past the thorns and find the rose within oth-ers. This is the characteristic of love, to look at a person, and knowing his faults, recognize the nobility in his soul, and help him realize that he can overcome his faults. If we show him the rose, he will conquer the thorns.
Our duty in this world is to help others by showing them their roses and not their thorns. Only then can we achieve the love we should feel for each other; only then can we bloom in our own garden.

PRIÈRE D’OUVERTURE
Chaque semaine, Seigneur, nous aimons nous rassembler
pour proclamer que tu es le Dieu en qui nous croyons,
pour faire mémoire de tes bienfaits, nous
mettre à l’écoute de ta parle et implorer l’aide
dont nous avons besoin. Mets en nous l’Esprit
Saint sans qui il nous est impossible de bien te
célébrer et te prier. Nous te le demandons par
Jésus, le Christ, notre Seigneur. Amen.

MISSION STATEMENT We, the Faith Community of Our Lady of Fatima, Coquitlam, are called to be welcoming and loving disciples of Jesus Christ, living the joy of the Gospel values like the Blessed Mother, witnessing, humbly serving and supporting the Church, our Parish and neighbours.
LE 5E DIMANCHE DU TEMPS ORDINAIRE A
ÊTRE «L’ÂME DU MONDE » Après avoir proclamé les béatitudes à ses futurs disciples (Matthieu 5, 1-12) Jésus leur révèle quelle mission leur est confiée: rien de moins que d’être «sel de la terre» et «la lumière du monde». En mettant en œuvre leur mission, ils contribueront à la réalisation de la sienne. De même pour nous, parce que ces paroles ne sont pas prononcées à la légère. Sachons les accueillir en étant conscients de l’amour du Fils de Dieu pour nous et de la grande con-fiance qu’il nous accorde pour la poursuite de son œuvre.
PRIÈRE: Nous te remercions, Seigneur, pour ta parole de
lumière et ta présence vivifiante au milieu de nous. Que
ton Esprit fasse fructifier l’amour que
tu sèmes en nos cœurs. Nous te le de-
mandons par ton Fils qui vit près de
toi pour les siècles des siècles. Amen.
