Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 11th, 2007
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Sister and brothers, how blessed are we who are gathered to celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ. We rejoice in God's presence on this sacred day and offer ourselves to God with humility and reverence.
Last weekend, we heard the story of the call of the prophet Isaiah and the call of the first apoltles. Like them, we are given the choice to follow the Lord or turn away. Today the stark contrast between those who say "yes" and those who say "no" is laid before us. As the sacred word is porclaimed this day, let us pray fervently that by our actions we will show forth to the world that we are the blessed ones of God.

WORLD MARRIAGE DAY
The theme for World Marriage Day is "Love One Another". Loving one another is a daily decision, simple but challenging. The World Marriage Day Symbol speaks readily of the roles and values we proclaim. Husband and wife are symbolically seen as two candle-like figures, reminding us that married love calls us to help enlighten the world. The couple is joined by a heart, focusing on love as the power that fosters unity within the couple and generates the capacity to be life-giving and inspire others to fruitfulness and unity.
The President has proclaimed the second Sunday in February as "World Marriage Day". It is being celebrated in all 50 states of our country, under the sponsorship of Worldwide Marriage Encounter. Children learn love, security, permanence and stability from parents who love each other. Register for an upcoming Worldwide Marriage Encounter Weekend and see what a positive effect it has on your whole family. For more information call Dave and Susan Kisneer at 785-628-8952 or on line at www.westcentralkansasme.org
