There are many of our school families who are in need of prayers. I ask that you pray for Mrs. Dena Lachney, 6A Teaching Assistant. Mrs. Lachney suffered a mild stroke on Monday and is currently in the hospital. We continue to pray for her recovery.
Another of our school families need prayers and we were shared the following gofundme page to support the Rubio family. If you would like to support them, please visit the following link.
GoMath! has a new app for kids ages 3-7. Check it out and help your young child advance their math skills.

Fr. Roberto's Corner
The Dangers of Love
As [Jesus] was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him.
He walked along from there and saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat, with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed him. (Matthew 4:18-22)
This Gospel of the call of Jesus' first disciples is so powerful because it shows that their response to Jesus' invitation is immediate and total: they left their nets, their boats and even their family to follow Jesus. In other words, they left their source of income, of their identity, of their comfort and security - all that they knew and cherished - in order to become Jesus' disciples. It can be a dangerous thing to fall in love; it is especially dangerous to fall in love with Jesus. You see, these guys didn't know it yet, but Jesus was going to challenge them to leave their comfort zones again and again in their lives. He would eventually call them to do things they could not even imagine at this early stage: he would eventually call them to heal the sick and cast out demons, to walk on water, to leave behind their egos and wash each other's feet in humility, to forgive their enemies, and to continue to believe in him even when he was tortured and killed before their very eyes. And eventually these disciples would be sent beyond the boundaries of the world they knew.
It is a very dangerous thing to fall in love with Jesus - just think about the millions of martyrs who have given their lives throughout the centuries and all those Christians who are being persecuted right now. Becoming a disciple of Jesus can be incredibly scary and unsettling because you have no idea what you will be asked or how you will cope with what is to come. It is a hazardous adventure, and it is especially alarming for our current culture with its fear of risk and obsession with health and safety. If you fall in love with Jesus, you can be sure he will challenge you to leave behind your comfort zones again and again; and he will send you beyond the boundaries of the world you now know.
In the end, falling in love with Jesus is an invitation to lose control of our lives. As Pope Francis has said: "There is no greater freedom than that of allowing oneself to be guided by the Holy Spirit, renouncing the attempt to plan and control everything to the last detail, and instead letting him enlighten, guide and direct us, leading us wherever he wills...I have the sense of being in someone else's hands, as though God were taking me by the hand" (The Joy of the Gospel, #280).
I would like to share with you one of the most amazing things I have ever read. It is a letter that was found in the clothing of a dead child at the Nazi Concentration Camp in Ravensbruck, Germany:
Lord, remember not only the men and woman of good will, but also those of ill will. But do not remember all of the suffering they have inflicted upon us. Instead, remember the fruits we have borne because of this suffering-our fellowship, our loyalty to one another, our humility, our courage, our generosity, the greatness of heart that has grown from this trouble. When our persecutors come to be judged by you, let all of these fruits that we have borne be their forgiveness. (Source unknown)
I cannot imagine being able to write something like that, especially in the midst of that awful place and awful time. But someone did. Someone was able to let go of their justifiable anger and hatred and let Jesus lead them to a place of incredible love and forgiveness. Are you willing to make that kind of journey in your life? God's love often propels us into deep waters where we must either sink or trust in him. To love anyone is risky. Who knows what it will involve? How much more dangerous to fall in love with the One who is love incarnate.
There is a great saying: "It is easier to worship Jesus than to follow him." In other words, it is easier to put Jesus on a pedestal and worship him - and, therefore, keep him at a safe distance - than it is to do the hard work of letting go of our "nets," i.e., our sources of identity, comfort and security and follow Jesus the Messiah and Lord. My brothers and sisters, Jesus calls us to be disciples who are not afraid of the danger of losing control of our lives; who are not afraid of the dangers of love.
Save the Dates:
- Called and Gifted Workshop given by the Catherine of Siena Institute. Find out what spiritual gifts God has given you to achieve your own fulfillment and to serve others. It is a two-day workshop which will take place on Friday, February 10, from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and Saturday, February 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I am asking all of you who are part of any of our ministries, committees or groups to attend this workshop if you have not already done so. It is important for us to know what our gifts are so we can continue to develop them and use them more fully in our ministries and in our lives.
- Parish Retreat - March 3, 4 and 5. This is a powerful experience of allowing the Holy Spirit to transform our lives. Hear moving testimonies of fellow parishioners, and experience great music, fellowship, prayer and fun. It can change your life!
- Lenten Mission with Tom Booth - Well-known singer, songwriter and speaker, Tom Booth will be at Holy Rosary for Lent. Tom has written beautiful songs such as "I Will Choose Christ," "Can We Love?" "Here I Am," and "Sacred Silence." He will join us for our Masses the weekend of March 11-12 and then conduct a parish mission Monday-Wednesday, March 13-15. See Tom's website at www.tomboothmusic.com for more information about him.
