Commitment Weekend — February 18-19, 2017

Frequently asked questions:

What is the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal? The Archdiocese of Atlanta conducts an annual campaign (as do most dioceses in the United States), to help fund the work of its offices and ministries. The appeal commences in January and concludes in December each year. The appeal includes an in-pew pledge process, to be held Feb. 18-19.

How do gifts benefit parishes outside of metropolitan Atlanta? The offices of the archdiocese are available to provide support to all parishes, regardless of location. The appeal funded the education of priests currently serving your parish. Catechists who are teaching the children of your parish receive training and support through our Office of Formation and Disciple-ship. Engaged couples receive premarital counseling retreats. These are examples of the variety of services provided by archdiocesan offices and ministries to parishes and parishioners across the arch-diocese.

What should I give to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal? Jesus himself gave us a guideline, “Share from your substance, not from your surplus.” You are the best judge of what this means for you—not just what you can afford, but what God is calling you to do. We do offer a guide—at least 1 percent of your income to the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, 5 percent to your parish, and 4 percent to other charities or second collections, but always according to your means.

I already support my parish, isn’t that enough? The appeal provides the opportunity to support the wider Church family, the Archdiocese of Atlanta, as well as our own parish ministries. When we say the Creed, we reaffirm that we are members of the “one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.” We are saying that we believe that every parish and every parishioner is responsible not only for his or her parish, but also for the well-being of the Church throughout the archdiocese and world.

What is the in-pew process and why are we using it? The in-pew process is designed to reach parishioners directly at Mass. Parishioners will be directed through the process by the pastor or his designee as representatives of the archbishop. It is used be-cause it gives parishioners who may not be registered in a parish or who did not respond to the direct mail piece an opportunity to give. In a video about the Archbishop’s Annual Appeal, Archbishop Gregory shared the words of St. Augus-tine—“What does love look like? It has hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.”

“Love your neighbor as yourself.” - Leviticus 19:18

The next Prayer Blanket Ministry Meeting will be Monday, February 27 at 10 a.m. in the Bride’s Room (the small room next to the Social Hall). Consider joining this worthwhile ministry. You would be most welcomed. Your creativity can provide loving support for someone in need. If you are inter-ested in this ministry, but can’t attend the meeting, contact Sara Kahl at [email protected] or 706-999-9955.

STEWARDSHIP SCRIPTURE REFLECTION

In today’s first reading, the Israelites are urged to love their neighbors as themselves. In the Gospel, Jesus spells out how we are to do that---to give generously to those who ask of us and not to turn our backs on those who seek to borrow.

FAITH FORMATION

God loves us because that's what he decided to do. God doesn't love us because we're good or nice people. In fact, no one could ever be good enough to be worthy of God's love. Isn't it amazing that God loves us even though we some-times ignore him and disobey him?

Key Verses: But God showed his great love for us. He sent Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8)

Related Verses: John 1:12; 16:7

Note to Parents: The best way to help children understand God's love is to demonstrate it to them. Hug them, train them, cheer them, guide them, discipline them, talk to them, spend time with them, accept them, forgive them, help them, stand by them, and provide for them - then they'll understand.

Why Do God and Jesus Love People?

WHO DO YOU SAY YOU ARE?

Calling all High School students! You are invited to join us for

LAS BIENAVENTURANZAS SON EL ESPEJO DEL CRISTIANO (Segunda Parte)

I. BIENAVENTURADOS LOS POBRES DE ESPÍRITU PORQUE DE ELLOS ES EL REINO DE LOS CIELOS

2. La promesa: “...porque de ellos es el Reino de los cielos” Significa que a ellos pertenece el reino de los cielos. ¿Qué es el reino de Dios? Quiere decir, ante todo, el dominio soberano de Dios, su actividad salvífica en la historia del hombre, que él desea transformar en historia de salvación. Es la manifestación de la bondad incondicional de Dios con los hombres, cuya felicidad y salvación integrales desea aquí y ahora, pero también escatológicamente, es decir, en la vida futura. Si aún queda muy general, podemos bajar más el significado, echando una mirada al mensaje de Cristo. El reino de Dios es estar e identificarse con la gente, especialmente, con los amenazados, los oprimidos y los pisoteados; dar vida a los que no tienen ninguna; eliminar las relaciones de opresión de una persona sobre otra, o de una nación sobre otra, para aportarles mutua solidaridad; librar a la gente de toda clase de miedos; no condenar a la gente, no mantenerla en su pasado de pecado o en sus experiencias negativas, sino brindarle en todas las circunstancias un nuevo futuro y la esperanza que da la vida; amar a la gente sin distinción, sin selección, sin límites; oponerse a lo que es falso, a lo que no es apropiado y carece de futuro, a una mentalidad legalista que pasa por alto la persona real y promueve únicamente la conformidad trivial y la oración que no se hace en espíritu y verdad, sino con mera rutina. El reino de Dios se identifica a menudo con la Iglesia, pero ni un solo pasaje del Nuevo Testamento permite tal identificación. Esto no significa que el reino de Dios no se manifieste en la Iglesia, pero sólo como una semilla de mostaza, en pobreza y debilidad, y también en esperanza. Sin embargo, el reino de Dios no se limita a la Iglesia. El reino de Dios abarca y permea no sólo la esfera humana interna y privada; también quiere transformar la esfera externa, la dimensión política, social y económica.
