Charism. On Spiritual Gifts. Spiritual gifts are God’s gift of love to the Church
through uniquely proportioned blessing to each individual member of the faith
community. Each gift is unique yet integral to the good of the whole Catholic Church.
St. Paul talked about these gifts in his letter to the Corinthians. He told the faithful of
Corinth that “Some people God has designated in the church to be, first, apostles;
second, prophets; third, teachers; then mighty deeds; then gifts of healing, assistance,
administration and varieties of tongues.” The first three gifts are specific and
distinguished. The latter are general.
The latter gifts are interpreted in various ways throughout time. In doing so, many
ministries were developed in the church. Among the professed religious and ordained
priests and deacons, ministries like teaching, caring for the sick, helping the poor,
consoling the grieving to name a few. The lay faithful have also joined in ministries
like care for the priests and religious, marriage and family counseling, liturgical
ministers, vocation promoters and the like.
What spiritual gift do you have? Haven’t discovered it yet? You can start yourself the question: What
am I good at and how will this gift help my church?
o0o
Faith, Hope and Love. The greatest of these is love. St. Paul tells us that our spiritual gifts should be
used in the way of love.
I use to hear my mom that principle and I believed in it. One time, I was assigned to cook jackfruit in
coconut milk. I was sure I strictly followed the procedures. Unfortunately, my mom was not happy. I explained
to her that I cooked the vegetable the way she does. So what went wrong?
She’s got no secret ingredient. But as always my vegetable does not measure up to her cooked
vegetable. One day, she was cooking the same recipe of jackfruit in coconut milk. I observed her well. I was
observing her closely to see what I might have missed in cooking it. I did not see any difference.
Tired of trying to discover what I did not do quite well; my mother broke her secret. She told me that
tasty meal is cooked with love. Surely a mother knows that.
o0o
Year of Mercy. January is Feed the Hungry. Check out the 40 Cans for Lent spearheaded by the
Knights of Columbus and with the help of our youth. Beginning February 10, we will be collecting your
donation of canned goods to benefit the poor.
Carisma. En los dones espirituales. Los dones espirituales son el regalo de Dios de amor a la Iglesia a
través de la bendición proporcionada de forma única a cada miembro de la comunidad de fe. Cada regalo es
único integral al bien de toda la Iglesia católica. San Pablo habló de estos regalos en su carta a los Corintios.
Le dijo a los fieles de Corinto que "Algunas personas que Dios ha designado en la iglesia a ser, en primer
lugar, apóstoles; en segundo lugar, profetas; en tercer lugar, maestros; las necesidades entonces poderosos;
después los que sanan, los que asisten, la administración y la variedad de lenguas ". Los tres primeros regalos
son específicos y distinguidos. Los últimos son generales.
Los últimos regalos son interpretados de diversas maneras a través del tiempo. De este modo, muchos
ministerios se desarrollaron en la iglesia. Entre los sacerdotes profesos religiosos y ordenados y los diáconos,
los ministerios como la enseñanza, el cuidado de los enfermos, ayudar a los pobres, consolando a los afligidos
por nombrar algunos. Los fieles laicos también se han unido en los ministerios como el cuidado de los
sacerdotes, religiosos y religiosas, el matrimonio y la orientación familiar, ministros de la liturgia, la pastoral
vocacional y similares.
¿Qué don espiritual tiene usted? No lo a descubierto todavía? Puede empezar a hacerse la pregunta:
¿En qué soy bueno y ¿cómo este regalo o don puede ayudar a mi iglesia?
o0o
(continua en la pagina próxima)
Fe Esperanza y amor. El mayor de ellos es el amor. San Pablo nos dice que nuestros dones espirituales
deben ser usados en el camino del amor.
Usualmente escuchaba a mi madre acerca de ese principio y yo creía en eso. Una vez, me asignaron a
cocinar jaca en leche de coco. Estaba seguro de que seguí estrictamente los procedimientos. Por desgracia, mi
mamá no estaba contenta. Le expliqué que yo cociné el vegetal de la forma en que lo hace ella. Entonces, ¿qué
salió mal?
Ella no tiene ningún ingrediente secreto. Pero como siempre mi vegetal no se cocinaba como el vegetal
de ella. Un día, ella estaba cocinando la misma receta de jaca en leche de coco. Yo la observé muy bien . Yo la
estaba observando con atención para ver lo que yo podría haber perdido en mi cocción. Yo no vi nada diferente.
Cansado de tratar de descubrir lo que yo no hice bien; mi madre rompió su secreto. Ella me dijo que la
comida sabrosa se cocina con amor. Sin duda, una madre sabe eso.
o0o
Año de la Misericordia. Enero es el mes de dar de comer al hambriento. Echa un vistazo a las 40 Latas
para Cuaresma encabezada por los Caballeros de Colón y con la ayuda de nuestros jóvenes. A partir del 10 de
febrero estaremos recolectando su donación de alimentos enlatados para beneficiar y ayudar a los pobres.
5th Sunday Rosary
To help bring families together in a spiritual activity and promote devotion to Mary, the Albany Knights of
Columbus are pleased to announce a new church activity, the 5th Sunday Rosary Program. Knights, their
families and other parishioners are encouraged to pray the rosary as a corporate body every time a 5th Sunday
occurs during in a month. The Knights will lead a decade of the Rosary before each mass THIS weekend.
Father Leonard’s Car Repair
A parishioner graciously donated a Honda Civic to the parish to be used by Fr. Leonard in his Ministry to the
parish community. Unfortunately, we’ve discovered the car needs a repair to make it as safe as possible for
Fr. Leonard to drive. The cost of the repair will be approximately $3,000. We are asking for donations to help
offset the cost so if you are in a position to help us out we would be so greatly appreciative. Donations may
be made payable to St. Mary’s by check or by cash, noting on the check memo line or on the envelope “Fr.
Leonard’s Car Repair”. We will also take EFT and credit card donations through WeShare or by calling the
parish office and speaking to Joni Siewell, our Business Manager. If you are not in a position to help at this
time, please keep us in your prayers. Thank you so very much!

Sacrament - The Presentation of the
Lord – Feast, Feb 2
“Simeon gave back Jesus to His Mother,

our arms but into our hearts.” (Saint John Vianney)
Please join us for Eucharistic Adoration of the Blessed
Sacrament. Adoration is available in the chapel 24 hours
every day. For adoration outside of the 24-hour regular
Thursday schedule, call the office for instructions and to
enlist. Everyone is welcome. Spend as much or as little

special hour. Expect God's blessing, and give Him thanks.
