Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Chagrin Falls, Oh 44023 office@holyangelschurch.com
WE ARE CALLED
Welcome to ordinary time!
We are now entering the season of reflection and practice, Ordinary Time. We are called to
reflect on what we learned and practice those teachings from the Christmas Season. We have just a
few short weeks to do this, because Ash Wednesday and the great season of Lent will arrive on
February 22!! Time for a breather and for reflection. Last week I asked, “What was the best part of
your Christmas?” So, what is your answer? The follow-up question is this; How are you going to
live in thanksgiving for whatever that is?
Ordinary Time is a time when we can act on the grace given to us in the various seasons of
the Church. The practice of reflecting before acting is something that our Lord Jesus teaches us.
During the Christmas Season, the scriptures give us both good and bad examples of how to reflect
and act. Take for example Joseph and the shepherds: they had encounters with God that directed
their actions. Joseph could have ignored what the angels told him and stayed with Mary and Jesus
in Bethlehem. What would the outcome of that have looked like?
The shepherds could have ignored their message and the good news would not have spread.
However, they all remained prayerful and faithful, and did what God wanted. Think about King
Herod. Can you image how he felt when he heard the news that a newborn King of the Jews just
arrived? Not to mention, he found this information out from out-of-towners! Herod’s actions were
out of fear not faith. He felt threatened, and fearful of this new King of the Jews. We all know
Herod’s reaction out of fear ended many lives, and to his surprise, did not even work.
In reflecting on the season, we need to practice the art of pondering and asking questions
and then acting on the answers we come upon. How about thinking of the things that worry us, or
that we feel threatened by in our lives? Could they be from God to get our attention? Or a warning
to help us change our direction? What does God want us to get out of it? We are called to
encounter the season each year, maybe this is the year that we do it in a unique way!
Ordinary Time is the time to not be the Herod of the world, but to be the Joseph or the
shepherd. We can live in the joy that Jesus is here. His coming has changed everything! During
this season of Ordinary Time what will your action be from your reflections on the Christmas
Season? You must act quickly since you have only four weeks. But in those four weeks we should
truly strive to be prayerful and faithful disciples of God; we must do the good and be the good in
our world.
Be at peace and live in joy!
God Bless,

Parish Life
Support the Collection for the Church in Latin America ~ Second Collection
Next week we will take up the Collection for the Church in Latin America. For many in Latin America and the
Caribbean, a rising secular culture, difficult rural terrain, and a shortage of ministers all present obstacles to
practicing the faith. Your support for the collection provides lay leadership training, catechesis, priestly and
religious formation and other programs to share our Catholic faith with those who long to hear the Good News
of Christ. To learn more about how your gifts make a difference, visit www.usccb.org/latin-america.
Attention All Eucharistic Ministers ~ please save the date: January 29
On Sunday, January 29, following 11am Mass in the Worship Space we are asking all Eucharistic Ministers
to join us for a retraining for Precious Blood distribution. If you are available for this training, please RSVP
through the link on the website or contact Pam McKnight at 440-708-0000, ext. 311. We look forward to this
time with you as we return the Precious Blood distribution in our parish.
End of Year Tax Statement
End of year tax statements will be available by Friday, January 20th. If you would like one, please contact
the Parish Office at 440-708-0000 ext. 331. Leave a message with your email address and it will be emailed to
you. If you would like to stop in the Parish Office to pick it up, please leave a number where you can be
reached when your statement is ready for pick up.
Did you know?
When do we sit, when do we stand, can we kneel? Sometimes Mass can be confusing! Here are four moments
of posture during Mass which the Bishop’s posture clarification addresses:
1. The time from after the Lamb of God until the celebrant receives Holy Communion.
“Posture: GIRM # 43 defers to the authority of the diocesan bishop in determining the posture of the faithful in
his diocese, either kneeling or standing. Since 2004, the policy of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland has been
to stand from the end of the Lamb of God until the celebrant receives Holy Communion.”
2. The time from when the celebrant receives Holy Communion until the end of distribution of Holy
Communion.
“Posture: The GIRM and supporting documentation from the Bishop’s Committee on the Liturgy clearly
indicates that the ordinary posture of the faithful is standing from the time the celebrant receives Holy
Communion until the end of the distribution of Holy Communion”
3. The time after an individual Catholic receives Holy Communion (which overlaps #2).
“Posture: Francis Cardinal Arinze clarifies in his dubium response that after an individual Catholic receives
Holy Communion, the ordinary posture is standing; however, this is not to be enforced so rigidly that those
who wish to kneel or sit after their individual reception of Holy Communion would not feel free to do so.”
4. The time of sacred silence after the distribution of Holy Communion has ended.
“Posture: The GIRM clearly indicates that the faithful may choose to either kneel or sit during the sacred
silence after everyone has received Holy Communion. It is not necessary to remain standing for the
reposition of any remaining hosts in the tabernacle, nor is it necessary to remain standing for the
purification of the sacred vessels.”
Events Let us Pray Please keep our precious students in your prayers as they are about to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. What a beautiful gift they will be receiving in this Sacrament!
