GIFTS In today’s readings, we discover that material wealth alone does not keep us from discipleship. We will see that there are other gifts more im-portant than material wealth, but even so, it is how we use our gifts that matters most. Today’s scriptures point to the value of the gifts of wisdom, trusting in God, and letting our actions reflect the love of God from within. It is not gold that causes us to fall, but rather the desire for gold above all other things. From the readings in Wisdom and Hebrews, we find the source of God’s gifts in our lives. Wisdom is more valuable than worldly possessions. In He-brews, we are challenged to look at our own val-ues and admit honestly what controls our lives. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. All good things together came to me in her company (Wisdom 7:7-11). Psalm — Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy! (Psalm 90). Second Reading — Indeed the word of God is living and effective (Hebrews 4:12-13). Gospel — It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God (Mark 10:17-30 [17-27]).

FEAST OF FAITH Agnus Dei

After the sign of peace, the priest breaks the host into pieces, and prepares the patens or plates of hosts for the assembly. In the early church, “the breaking of the bread” was the name given to the entire Eucharistic liturgy, so central was this action to the meaning of the Christian life. For just as the one bread is broken and given to many peo-ple, the many are made one in receiving it.

During this ritual action, we sing an ancient litany, calling on Jesus as the “Lamb of God”—the words used by John the Baptist when he pointed to Jesus walking beside the Jordan River (John 1:29, 36). In calling Jesus “the Lamb of God,” John was already pointing to the death that Jesus would die: in giving his life, Jesus would become the Paschal Lamb of the new covenant. During the Mass, when we call on the Lamb of God, we call to mind his self-sacrificing love, his blood poured out for us, and we ask this compassionate Lord for mercy and peace.

Saint Michael's Holy Name Bowling League is looking for new bowlers. If you know someone that might be interested in bowling Monday nights for roughly 32 weeks ( or possibly just a substitute bowler ) from September to the beginning of May invite them to join our league. It's Monday nights starting at

7:30 with a 10 minute warm up. Cost of bowling is $20/evening which covers cost of bowling and year end prize money. There are some weekly pots to enhance the even-ing but primarily its a great way to break up the doldrums of the long Chicago winter months. BOWLING is at Glendale Hts Bowlero Lanes. on North Avenue.

Would you like to deepen your relationship with Jesus Christ? Have you forgiven, but are still experiencing negative

emotions? Do you feel like you are bringing the same sins to confession,

again?

Sin leaves all of us wounded, and as Pope Francis reminds us, the Church is a field hospital with all of us in need of healing from the

Divine Physician.
