Ask Sr. Rose

Is Marriage a Sacrament?

It is a covenant or partnership of life between a man and a woman, which is ordered to the well-being

of the spouses and to the procreation and upbringing of

children, when validly contracted between a baptized man and

woman, it is a sacrament.

Please guide and protect our Police Officers, Firefighters, Emergency Personnel and First Responders

Reflection Greet the unexpected visitor as you would an

invited guest or the return of a long, lost friend. For in so doing, the Bible tells us we entertain

Angels unawares. Joseph R. Veneruso, M.M.

A Prayer for Vocations to the

Priesthood Lord Jesus, you invite us to pray the Lord of the harvest

that He send labourers into His harvest.

Lord and God of all, call to the priesthood men on fire with your divine love, who will be the voice of the Good

Shepherd to the scattered sheep of the flock.

R. Lord of the harvest, send labourers into your harvest.

Lord and Saviour, bless us with holy priests. Through their ministry may your life-giving presence in the sacraments be

always present in your Church.

R. Lord of the harvest, send labourers into your harvest.

Lord and Giver of Life, raise up men filled with your power and with great missionary zeal, so that all who dwell

in darkness may come to live in the light of Christ.

R. Lord of the harvest, send labourers into your harvest.

(Pause for a silent personal prayer for vacations to the priesthood).

Lord Jesus, you called chosen men to be with you: to preach the good news of salvation and to have authority over the powers of darkness. Send your Holy Spirit upon the men you have chosen for the priestly ministry. May

they answer your call and follow you with generous hearts. Amen

Respect Life Society Please continue to pray for an end to abortion and pray for women who have had an abortion – The United States marked 45 years of legalized abortion in all 50 states at any time for any reason throughout pregnancy on January 22nd, the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. Since that time, there have been an estimated 60,069,971 abortions that have destroyed the lives of unborn children. Catholics have gone to the March for Life in great numbers each year because we believe in God who creates every human being with innate dignity and rights, including above all the right to life. Thankfully, there are fewer abortions each year, probably due to the use of 3-D and 4-D ultrasounds, and learning more about the growth of a baby. If you know any woman seeking healing from the effects of a past abortion, the Sisters of Life have monthly Days of Prayer and Healing. There is one on January 27, February 10th and February 24th (in Spanish). For location and registration, call The Sisters of Life at 866-575-0075 or email [email protected].

St. John Bosco John Bosco, also known as Giovanni Melchiorre Bosco and Don Bosco, was born in Becchi, Italy, on August 16, 1815. Hi

s birth came just after the end of the Napoleonic Wars which ravaged the area. Compounding the problems on his birthday, there was also a drought and a famine at the time of his birth.

At the age of two, John lost his father, leaving him and his two older brothers to be raised by his mother, Margherita. His "Mama Margherita Occhiena" would herself be declared venerable by the Church in 2006.

Raised primarily by his mother, John attended church and became very devout. When he was not in church, he helped his family grow food and raise sheep. They were very poor, but despite their poverty his mother also found enough to share with the homeless who sometimes came to the door seeking food, shelter or clothing.

When John was nine years old, he had the first of several vivid dreams that would influence his life. In his dream, he encountered a multitude of boys who swore as they played. Among these boys, he encountered a great, majestic man and

woman. The man told him that in meekness and charity, he would "conquer these your friends." Then a lady, also majestic said, "Be strong, humble and robust. When the time comes, you will understand everything." This dream influenced John

the rest of his life. Not long afterwards, John witnessed a traveling troupe of circus performers. He was enthralled by their magic tricks and acrobatics. He realized if he learned their tricks, he could use them to attract others and hold their attention. He studied thei

r tricks and learned how to perform some himself. One Sunday evening, John staged a show for the kids he played with and was heartily applauded. At the end of the show

, he recited the homily he heard earlier in the day. He ended by inviting his neighbors to pray with him. His shows and games were repeated and during this time, John discerned the call to become a priest.

To be a priest, John required an education, something he lacked because of poverty. However, he found a priest willing to provide him with some teaching and a few books. John's older brother became angry at this apparent disloyalty, and he reportedly whipped John saying he's "a farmer like us!"

John was undeterred, and as soon as he could he left home to look for work as a hired farm laborer. He was only 12 when he departed, a decision hastened by his brother's hostility. John had difficulty finding work, but managed to find a job at a vineyard. He labored for two more years before he me

t Jospeh Cafasso, a priest who was willing to help him. Cafasso himself would later be recognized as a saint for his work, particularly ministering to prisoners and the condemned.

In 1835, John entered the seminary and following six years of study and preparation, he was ordained a priest in 1841. His first assignment was to the city of Turin. The city was in the throes of industrialization so it had slums and widespread poverty. It was into these poor neighborhoods that John, now known as Fr. Bosco, went to work with the children of the

poor. While visiting the prisons, Fr. Bosco noticed a large number of boys, between the ages of 12 and 18, inside. The condition

s were deplorable, and he felt moved to do more to help other boys from ending up there. He went into the streets and started to meet young men and boys where they worked and played. He used his talents as

a performer, doing tricks to capture attention, then sharing with the children his message for the day. When he was not preaching, Fr. Bosco worked tirelessly seeking work for boys who needed it, and searching for lodging

s for others. His mother began to help him, and she became known as "Mamma Margherita." By the 1860s, Fr. Bosco and his mother were responsible for lodging 800 boys.

Fr. Bosco also negotiated new rights for boys who were employed as apprentices. A common problem was the abuse of apprentices, with their employers using them to perform manual labor and menial work unrelated to their apprenticeship. Fr. Bosco negotiated contracts which forbade such abuse, a sweeping reform for that time. The boys he hired out were also

given feast days off and could no longer be beaten. Fr. Bosco also identified boys he thought would make good priests and encouraged them to consider a vocation to the

priesthood. Then, he helped to prepare those who responded favorably in their path to ordination. Fr. Bosco was not without some controversy. Some parish priests accused him of stealing boys from their parishes. Th

e Chief of Police of Turin was opposed to his catechizing of boys in the streets, which he claimed was political subversion. In 1859, Fr. Bosco established the Society of St. Francis de Sales. He organized 15 seminarians and one teenage boy int

o the group. Their purpose was to carry on his charitable work, helping boys with their faith formation and to stay out of trouble. The organization still exists today and continues to help people, especially children around the world. In the years that followed, Fr. Bosco expanded his mission, which had, and still has, much work to do. Fr. Bosco died on January 31, 1888. The call for his canonization was immediate. Pope Pius XI knew Fr. Bosco personally and agreed,

declaring him blessed in 1929. St. John Bosco was canonized on Easter Sunday, 1934 and he was given the title, "Father and Teacher of Youth."

In 2002, Pope John Paul II was petitioned to declare St. John Bosco the Patron of Stage Magicians. St. Bosco had pioneered the art of what is today called "Gospel Magic," using magic and other feats to attract attention and engage the youth. Saint John Bosco is the patron saint of apprentices, editors and publishers, schoolchildren, magicians, and juvenile

delinquents. His feast day is on January 31.
