Each and every year gyms, workout centers and dieting plans see a wave of people that flock to them with great hopes of making this year their “thin” and “fit” year! Unfortunately, over 90% of these good intentioned individuals find themselves paying the rest of their year’s membership while their matching jogging outfits, gym shorts and sneakers sit in the corner. While I am a huge supporter of being healthy in our bodies, I also think it is a great time to make some spiritual resolutions as well. Here are just a few things to think about that might get us on the right path this coming year. 1. Make it priority to come to Mass each and
every week. 2. Make a commitment of bringing your
children to church with you each week. 3. Considering volunteering in our many
ministries here at Saint Joseph Church. 4. Promise to bring food with you each and
every week for those less fortunate than we. 5. Make a pledge to prayerfully support your
church from your substance and not your excess.
6. Consider volunteering as a Eucharistic Minister, Greeter, Counter, Volunteer at the Food Pantry, “Saturday Cleaners” etc.
7. Visit a friend or family member in a nursing home.
8. Call a friend that might need a listening ear or a comforting voice.
9. Do a kind and selfless act each and every day. 10. Consider making a confession (I heard Father
ST is real easy). 11. Talk to Father about regularizing your
marriage (no matter how long ago you might have been divorced or separated).
12. Consider being a member of the soon to be formed Parish Council.
13. You can fill in the rest here…….

New Year’s House Blessing A good way to begin the New Year is to bless your homes during the week of January 3rd on the Feast of the Epiphany. Use the blessed chalk you receive at Mass this weekend, to write the blessing on the inside lintel of the main door of your house.
Christians are encouraged to bless their homes at the beginning of each new year. Two thousand and Sixteen stands for the New Year and the initials, joined by crosses, stand for the three Wise Men (Caspar, Melchoir and Balthasar) who represent the peoples of the world. They offered Jesus gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. With family members present, begin the Ritual of Blessing. Perhaps one of your younger family members or an elder member could do the reading from Luke’s Gospel.
Family member: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. All: Amen.
Family member: May the God whom we glorify with one heart and voice enable us, through the Spirit, to live in harmony as followers of Christ Jesus, now and forever.
All: Amen.
Family member: When Christ took flesh through the Blessed Virgin Mary, he made his home with us. Let us now pray that he will enter this home and bless it with his presence. May he always be here among us; may he nurture our love for each other, share in our joys, and comfort us in our sorrows. Inspired by his teachings and example, seek to make our home before all else a dwelling place of love, diffusing far and wide the goodness of Christ.
Family member: (Read the Gospel of Luke 10:5-9)
Everyone prays together an Our Father, a Hail Mary and a Glory Be for the intentions of Pope Francis.
All: Amen.
(If there is holy water available, sprinkle it in all the rooms while praying:) Let this water call to mind our baptism into Christ, who has redeemed us by his death and resurrection.
Family member: Lord, be close to your servants who abide here and ask for a blessing. Be our shelter when we are at home, our companion when we are away, and our welcome guest when we return. And at last receive us into the dwelling place you have prepared for us in your Father’s house, where you live forever and ever.
All: Amen.
Family member: May the peace of Christ rule our hearts, and may the word of Christ in all its richness dwell in us, so that whatever we do in word and in work, we will do in the name of the Lord.
All: Amen. (After the prayer is prayed, inscribe over the main door of your home the blessing: 20 + C + M + B + 16).
Wishing you a Happy and Healthy New Year! Saint Joseph Church’s Pastoral Staff
