P Y H —N S At Ponder in Your Heart weekly meetings, we will begin with our common yearning for happiness. “Rediscover Catholicism” by Matthew Kelly takes us on an
adventure of life-changing proportions by addressing some of the most important questions we face today, both as individuals and as a Church. We will discuss topics like—Are you happy? Are you living an authentic life? Do you think you'll find happiness where you're looking? How would you like your life to change? What is God’s dream for your life? Why have so many people rejected Catholicism? What does it mean to
walk with God in the modern world? Do the saints have anything to offer you? Is Jesus still relevant? The group will meet on Thursdays from 6:00—7:30pm in the St. Isadore Room. Books will be provided for a recommended donation of $3.00. Please contact Kristy Linnhoff at 270.727.3432, [email protected] or Megan at the Parish Office 270.753.3876, [email protected]

SAINT THOMAS BECKET (1118-1170)—December 29
To anyone who imagines conflict between religion and politics to be a modern phenomenon, history witnesses otherwise. Martyred under Henry VIII in 1535, Thomas More declared, “I die the king’s good servant, but God’s first!” Thomas Becket could have said the same four centuries earlier. As Henry II’s closest friend and trusted chancellor, Becket, the king presumed, could be counted on, if made archbishop, to deliver the church to royal control. But Becket experienced a profound conversion, confirmed by the ordination liturgy’s rich symbolism of the bishop as Good Shepherd and the church as Bride of Christ. Renouncing secular responsibilities, distributing his wealth to the poor, Thomas became the church’s uncompromising champion. Faced with this “new” Becket, the king’s previous friendship turned into a ferocious, almost irrational hatred. As eight centuries later, Archbishop Romero would be martyred at the altar of Christ’s sacrifice, Becket was slain before the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by royal agents, neither the first nor last good shepherd to lay down his life as the price of freedom for Christ’s church and justice for Christ’s sheep.
