Maybe one question we should ask ourselves this Christmas is this: Do I need Jesus, really? If not, then why do we bother with Church. He is the whole point of everything we do at Church. And if we do think we need Jesus, let's act like it. I think it is easy (for myself at least) to treat Jesus like a roaring fire in fireplace: if we feel cold, we get a little closer, and we back away when we get too hot. In other words, we just give ourselves to Jesus only to the extent that we can gain from him and to what extent we can handle it. We are reserved in coming closer to him. We expose ourselves to him in small doses. Rather, shouldn't we give ourselves completely and totally to him? Keeping with the analogy of the fire in the fireplace, shouldn't we just jump right in? Yes! Because we do need him, and getting ever closer to him may burn a little, may hurt a little, but in the end, we might just end up inflamed by him and his Holy Spirit, which can't be all that bad.
In the heart of Jesus and Mary, Fr. Uhlenkott
Tal vez una pregunta que nos debemos hacer esta navidad es esta: ¿Necesitamos a Jesús, de veras? Si no, ¿Por qué nos molestamos con la iglesia? De hecho Él es el punto de todo lo que hacemos en la iglesia. Y si pensamos que sí necesitamos a Jesús, actuemos así. Yo pienso que es fácil (por mí mismo por lo menos) tratar a Jesús como un gran fuego en una chimenea: si nos sentimos con frío, nos acercamos un poco más al fuego, y nos alejamos cuando sentimos calor. En otras palabras, nos damos a Jesús sólo en la medida que ganemos de él o en la medida que lo soportamos. Permanecemos reservados para acercarnos a Él. Nos exponemos a Él en dosis pequeñas. Más bien, ¿acaso nos damos a Él completamente? Fieles a la analogía del fuego, ¿acaso no saltamos adentro? ¡Sí, porque sí lo necesitamos a Él! A acercarnos a Él aun cuando nos cause un poco de dolor o nos queme un poco, pero al final, tal vez nos quedemos inflamado por Él y por su espíritu santo, que no es tan malo! En el Corazón de Jesús y María, Padre Uhlenkott

Revelation: The kingdom Yet to Come
Revelation is the first “ongoing” study in The Great Adventure Bible Study Program. In this intriguing look at one of the most talked-about books in Scripture, Jeff Cavins explores Revelation to demonstrate how the kingdom established by Christ in his Church is intimately connected with the kingdom of heaven, especially through the celebration of the Mass. You will learn what all the mysterious figures and images of Revelation present, as well as what will happen during the Second Coming of Christ, what has already happened, and what is happening now in salvation history. Join us for Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to Come at Our Lady of the Valley in Caldwell beginning January 9 at 7:00 pm and continuing every Tuesday for 12 weeks. For more information or to PLEASE register EARLY for the study to have a workbook ordered for you, call Hans & Janene Nederend at 208-573-2955 or via email: [email protected].
