Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 27, 2008
The Kingdom of God is at hand.
Wait for the LORD with courage; be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD. — Psalm 27:14
University Catholic Center Father Isaac Hecker’s Cause: The Roman Catholic Church is able to select a few individuals from the great number of faithful men and women who have lived and died, to provide examples of how one should live out the Christian life. The Paulist Fathers have proposed Father Isaac Thomas Hecker (1819-1888), the founder of our community for sainthood. Hecker was a convert, a mystic, an evangelist, a pastor and a spiritual teacher. The journey to sainthood is a long one. At the opening ceremony on January 27th in New York, Father Hecker will receive the title, “Servant of God.” Evidence will be gathered and his life will be examined. From here the inquiry will go to Rome and ultimately to the Pope for his decision. Please pray for a successful outcome and that through Father Hecker’s intercession, God will act to bring about a healing or favor in the lives of one of our brothers and sisters. Father Paul Robichaud CSP Postulator, The Cause of Isaac Thomas Hecker

Be Someone's Friend Come join a group of volunteers who make people happy! On Sunday mornings we carpool to our sister community at the Austin State School for the Mentally Retarded.

For more information, please sign up at the front counter or contact Kathy Hackett at 512.928.1776. Fr. Hecker Quote of the Week: The reconciliation of obedient faith and intelligent liberty is the problem of the age. Lent is just around the corner and we will be having our community Lenten Soup Suppers again on the Fridays during Lent. The soup for these suppers is provided by students and resident community members of the UCC. We are hoping to have about 18 soup makers during lent this year, each providing approx 20-30 servings. If you can help make soup for one of the meals, please email me, Michael Burkhart, at [email protected]. Social Justice Team Hosts Voter Registration Drive "In the Catholic Tradition, responsible citizenship is a virtue, and participation in political life is a moral ob-ligation. As Catholics, we should be guided more by our moral convictions than by our attachment to a political party or interest group. In today's environment, Catholics may feel politically disenfranchised, sensing that no party and few candidates fully share our comprehensive commitment to human life and dignity. Catholic lay women and men need to act on the Church's moral principles and become more involved: running for office, working within political parties, and communicating concerns to elected officials."
