Do you know anyone who is divorced? There’s no such thing as

Catholic divorce . . . . but . . . Catholics do civilly divorce.

Nearly everyone is affected by divorce; whether it’s you, or a

hurts.

The CATHOLIC’S DIVORCE SURVIVAL GUIDE is a

12-week DVD/discussion program beginning

Sunday, February 22nd at 1-3 p.m. in the Gathering Room.

The program covers the topics of shock, denial, anger, grief,

guilt, forgiveness, money, the courts, the kids, the ex-spouse,

annulment, dating, sexuality, spirituality, remarriage or staying

single, and much more.

The program is based on the teachings of the Catholic Church

and open to anyone who needs comfort, counsel and clarity after

a divorce. Pre-registration is required. Cost is $25 on or before

February 9, 2015. After February 9, the cost is $30. NO

BABYSITTING is available. Commitment is needed for this 12-

week program. All classes build upon each other. No make-ups

are available.

Dates of program classes are:

Parents and Students, please consider offering your time and talents to this amazing

service camp. Camp dates for RENO are July 26 – Aug. 1 and details of the local work camp

can be found at:

http://heartworkcamp.com/dates/reno-nv/

CHWC is a one week opportunity to share the love of Christ and serve the neglected,

brokenhearted and the marginalized in any way needed. Equally, to inspire participants to live

as disciples of Christ through serving others as a way of life; and to foster the Catholic Faith of

each participant through the sacraments, prayer and involvement in social service.

Open to students entering the 8th grade through college, CHWC seeks to provide outreach

services to our community. Typical assignments range from working for retired elderly around

their house, working at St Vincent de Paul: Food Bank, Store, or Meal Program, and working

by providing child care.

The cost is $345.00 per camper and covers all food and lodging. You will be given assignments

to assist the elderly or infirm within the community; work at St Vincent, work with children,

and many more opportunities.

Saint Albert’s needs to register campers by March 1st. Scholarships are available for youth who

are registered parishioners and active within the parish.

Please contact Davina Anderson, St Albert Youth Ministry, at 775-747-0722 x 5908 or email

Irish playwright Oscar Wilde once said, “Some people cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.” We all know those whose presence warm our hearts and fill the room with joy and laughter just as we are aware of others for whom we cringe at the very thought of them. To paraphrase Wilde: “Some people we love without reservation; others, with great reservation.” Jesus tells us, “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes the sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust.” [Mt 5:43-45} No one, especially Jesus, ever said loving others would be easy, and he should know. Even after excruciating torture and crucifixion, he still offered those who would kill him his love and forgiveness. The truth is that loving others can often be far more difficult a task to accomplish than anything else we might attempt to do in this life. Let’s face it some people make it extremely difficult if not nearly impossible to love. Some people are like Joe Btfsplk, the well-meaning, but hapless jinx from Al Capp’s L’il Abner comic strip who walked around with a cloud over his head and brought disastrous misfortune to everyone with whom he came into contact. Or others who might be best exemplified by the lyrics “Gloom, despair, and agony on me. Deep, dark depression,

excessive misery. If it weren't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all. Gloom, despair, and agony on me” a song sung frequently on the TV show Hee-Haw (1969-1992). And then there are those whose virulent hatred and animosity toward others lends no opening through which one can hope to inject even an ounce of love. They hate for the sake of hating. Their words and actions condemn you because you wish to love them. Their hearts are cold, hardened against any and all attempts to love. It seems to be an impossible quest. We all know of someone for whom it is difficult to love and yet we are called to love them as our heavenly Father loves them. Jesus does not equivocate; he is crystal clear on what we must do: we must love our enemies and pray for those who would persecute us, for it is only in loving those for whom it is most difficult to love that we may be called children of God.

How are we to love the unlovable, especially those who project hatred and ill-will, those who espouse to perpetrate evil upon us? To be a child of God we must first love as a child. A child loves without judgment, without prejudice, without condition, without reservation for a child knows nothing of such things. A child sees another as a kindred soul to love. A child has yet to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and bad, has yet to know the difference. If you love as a child, you will surely be called a child of God.
