“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.” MATTHEW 5:20 The scribes and Pharisees lived according to the letter of the law and they used this to elevate themselves above the other people. Jesus is clear – it’s the love that you have in your heart that will get you to heaven. Simply following church rules out of obligation, not love, does not put you on the path to heaven. Attending Mass on Sunday and then gossiping about a fellow parishioner in the parking lot is an example of a modern day Pharisee.
Please remember the Church and School in your will.
Dear Friends: A little more than a week ago, on Feb. 7th, our Skagit Valley Catholic Churches’ 2020 pilgrimage group returned from the Holy Land. Fifty-three pilgrims from throughout the Skagit Valley and beyond spent 12 days visiting places where our Lord walked and where he revealed God’s love and light to our world. It was a wonderful journey! We are in the process of planning a gathering for pilgrims and for all Valley parishioners who want to share this experience. In the meantime, included here are a few photos of our trip. In Christ, Fr. Tom

Por favor, recuerde a la Iglesia y a la Escuela en su testamento .
16 de febrero de 2020 6º domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
"Porque les digo que, a menos que su justicia sea superior a la de los escribas y fariseos, nunca entrarán en el reino de los cielos". MATEO 5:20 Los escribas y fariseos vivían de acuerdo con la letra de la ley y usaron esto para elevarse por encima de las otras personas. Jesús es claro: es el amor que tienes en tu corazón lo que te llevará al cielo. Simplemente seguir las reglas de la iglesia por obligación, no por amor, no te pone en el camino al cielo. Asistir a misa el domingo y luego cotillear sobre un compañero feligrés en el estacionamiento es un ejemplo de un fariseo moderno.
Queridos amigos: Hace poco más de una semana, el 7 de febrero, nuestro grupo de peregrinación 2020 de las Iglesias Católicas de Skagit Valley regresó de Tierra Santa. Cincuenta y tres peregrinos de todo el Valle de Skagit y más allá pasamos 12 días visitando lugares donde nuestro Señor caminó y donde reveló el amor y la luz de Dios a nuestro mundo. Fue un viaje maravilloso! Estamos en el proceso de planificar una reunión para peregrinos y para todos los feligreses del Valle que quieran compartir esta experiencia. Mientras tanto, aquí incluimos aquí algunas fotos de nuestro viaje. En Cristo, Padre Tom

“Prayer is the foundation of all that we do in defense of human life. Our efforts—whether educational, pastoral, or legislative—will be less than fully fruitful if we do not change hearts and if we do not ourselves overcome our own spiritual blindness. Only with prayer—prayer that storms the heavens for justice and mercy, prayer that cleanses our hearts and our souls—will the culture of death that surrounds us today be replaced with a culture of life.” “Pastoral Plan for Pro-Life Activities” United States Conference of Catholic Bishops
PALABRA DE VIDA
“La oración es el fundamento de todo lo que hacemos en defensa de la vida humana. Nuestros esfuerzos—ya sea educativos, pastorales o legislativos—no serán fructíferos si no cambiamos los corazones y si no superamos nuestra propia ceguera espiritual. Sólo con oraciones—oraciones que claman al cielo justicia y piedad, oraciones que purifiquen nuestra alma y nuestro corazón—se reemplazará la cultura de la muerte que nos rodea en la actualidad con la cultura de la vida.” “Plan pastoral para actividades pro vida” Conferencia de Obispos Católicos de Estados Unidos

Prayer For the Hungry Bless us, O Lord, and these Thy gifts: The gift of food, for us and for others; Of generosity, that when we have plenty None should go hungry the whole world over; The gift of hearts that grow in humility and compassion For each of your children who suffers misfortune; The gift of your love that extends our reach, and would not deny your gifts to another. Through Christ, Our Lord. Amen Oración por los que pasan hambre Bendice Señor, y estos tus dones: el don de los alimentos, para nosotros y para los demas; de la generosidad, que cuando temenos abundancia nadie en el mundo entero deberia pasar hambre; el don de los corazones que crecen en la humildad y la compassion por cada uno de tus hijos que sufren desgracia; el don de tu amor que extiende nuestro alcance, y no negaria tus dones a otro. Por Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amen

Flu Season and Mass in the Skagit Valley This is the peak of flu season and it is important that we do everything we can to minimize the risk for our brothers and sisters with compromised or weak immune systems. If you are suffering from the flu or a serious cold, please stay home and get better; the Church recognizes sickness as a valid reason to miss Mass. Please minimize skin to skin contact, avoiding shaking hands at the Sign of Peace and holding hands during the Our Father. Finally, if there is any likelihood of infection, please refrain from receiving the Precious Blood for the sake of all who will share that cup; the doctrine of concomitance assures us that when we receive Christ under either species, in this case his Most Holy Body, we have received the whole Christ: body, blood, soul, and divinity. Fr. Tom
Temporada de gripe en relación con la Santa Misa en el valle de Skagit Esta es la temporada de gripe y es importante que hagamos todo lo posible para minimizar el riesgo para nuestros hermanos y hermanas con sistemas inmunes comprometidos o débiles. Si padece gripe o un resfriado grave, quédese en casa a recuperarse; la Iglesia reconoce la enfermedad como una razón válida para faltar a la misa. Por favor, minimice el contacto de piel a piel, evitando darle la mano al Signo de la Paz y tomarse de la mano durante el Padre Nuestro. Finalmente, si existe alguna probabilidad de infección, por favor abstenerse de recibir la Preciosa Sangre por el bien de todos los que compartirán esa copa; La doctrina de la concomitancia nos asegura que cuando recibimos a Cristo bajo cualquiera de las especies, en este caso su Santísimo Cuerpo, hemos recibido a todo el Cristo: cuerpo, sangre, alma y divinidad. Padre Tom

FEBRUARY MINISTRY: Extraordinary Minister: Georgia Lang Lectors: Yvonne Eagleburger / Jan Brovan Church Housekeeping: FINANCIAL STRUGGLE: Often during these winter months, our parishioners are unable to attend Mass-along with visitors. Those missed Saturdays results in a financial shortfall to meet expenses. Recently, we had our 1992 furnace quit. So, another expense was made to have it serviced. Please check your unused personal purple Contribution envelopes that did not make it to church to see if you can help us catch up on expenses. VOLUNTEERS: Yes, the appeal for light housekeeping of the church along with hosting the 2nd Saturday Hospitality Social welcomes your support. Pick your month and sign-up on the sheet in the vestibule. Thanks!

2nd Collection: The Catholic Home Missions Appeal The CHMA collection is the weekend of Saturday 2/29 & Sunday 3/1/20. This appeal helps our brothers and sisters here in the United States who do not have access to basic pastoral services that support and grow their faith, like Mass, the sacraments and religious education. Through your support, the Catholic Home Mission Appeal helps these mission dioceses form vibrant faith communities and strengthens the Church at home. We can also pray for our neighbors in home mission dioceses. Please be generous. 2ª Colecta: llamamiento de las Misiones Católicas para el Hogar La colecta CHMA será el fin de semana del sábado 2/29 y domingo 1/3/20. Este llamamiento ayuda a nuestros hermanos y hermanas aquí en los Estados Unidos que no tienen acceso a servicios de pastoral básica que apoyan y hacen crecer su fe, como la Misa, los sacramentos y educación religiosa. A través de su apoyo, la Campaña de la Misión del Hogar Católico ayuda a estas diócesis misioneras a formar comunidades religiosas vibrantes y fortalece la Iglesia en el hogar. También podemos orar por nuestros vecinos en las diócesis de misiones en el hogar. Por favor se generoso.
