LIFE Night Wrap-Up 01.31.2010
The joy and hope that we find in the 15th Chapter of the Gospel of Luke, verse 7: “There will be more rejoicing in Heaven when one sinner repents…” So if you are down on yourself and think you are a “horrible” person because you have sinned, then let Jesus’ words bring hope to you. Pick yourself up, go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, be reconciled and rejoice with Heaven as heaven rejoices for you!!!
Spring Semester
The new Semester is upon us. We were scheduled to “kick-off” this coming Sunday, January 24. However, since the Saints are so close to a Superbowl apperance, and they kick-off at 5:40 pm, we are going to cancel Sunday’s LIFE NIght. We’ll be back on schedule January 31st.
So Sunday, January 31st we will have a Luncheon at 12:30 pm for our Juniors and then we will have LIFE Night following the 5:30 pm Mass.
We would also like to encourage you to join us on Thursday, February 4th at 6:30 pm, as Chad Judice tells his story about what it was like as a Father to find out that your unborn child would be born with serious birth defects. If you attend this presentation, we will give you 5 hours toward your community service for the year.
See ya’ll on the 21st.

LIFE Night Wrap-Up: One, Holy, Catholic, Apostolic
On the day we call the day of sun, all who dwell in the city or country gather in the same place. The memoirs of the apostles and the writings of the prophets are read, as much as time permits. When the reader has finished, he who presides over those gathered admonishes and challenges them to imitate these beautiful things. Then we all rise together and offer prayers for ourselves . . . and for all others, wherever they may be, so that we may be found righteous by our life and actions, and faithful to the commandments, so as to obtain eternal salvation. When the prayers are concluded, we exchange the kiss. Then someone brings bread and a cup of water and wine mixed together to him who presides over the brethren. He takes them and offers praise and glory to the Father of the universe, through the name of the Son and the Holy Spirit and for a considerable time he gives thanks (in Greek: eucharistin) that we have been judged worthy of these gifts. When he has concluded the prayers and thanksgivings, all present give voice to an acclamation by saying: “Amen.” When he who presides has given thanks and the people have responded, those whom we call deacons give to those present the “eucharisted” bread, wine and water and take them to those who are absent.
Written in A.D. 155 by Justin Martyr to the Roman emperor describing what we can, even now, recognize as the Mass. Amazing that during the 1854 years since this description, the Mass hasn’t changed one bit!
