Evangelization

Go Make Disciples—Reparations
What is an act of reparation? Simply put, an act of reparation is performing a concrete
action to make amends for an offense or injury done against God, the Church or other
people. This goes beyond saying you are sorry (which is a great place to start) and actively working to fix the broken relationship, physical object or even someone’s trust.
In the Catholic Church, this practice is centuries old. It is often a part of the Sacrament of Reconciliation as we not only say we are sorry, amend our heart and actions going forward, but also perform some penance to repair our relationship with God.
There are numerous examples of this in the Bible. For example, Zacchaeus, a tax collector, had wrongfully taken people’s money. After conversion he stated, “Behold, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken anything from anyone by false accusation, I restore fourfold” (Luke 19:8). Zacchaeus didn’t just say he was sorry; he made actions to repair the damage that had been done.
While the act of making personal reparations should be part of our daily lives as Catholics, there is another practice that makes our faith special. Communal Reparations can be performed by the entire Church community to make amends for the sins committed by its members. This practice is so beautiful because it highlights the communal nature of the Church. It reminds us that we are all connected, and our actions have ripple effects. We share the collective responsibility of participating in the Catholic understanding of justice and the transformative power of grace.
ACT OF REPARATION FOR BLASPHEMIES UTTERED AGAINST THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS
O Jesus, my Savior and Redeemer, Son of the living God, behold, we kneel before Thee and offer Thee our reparation; we would make amends for all the blasphemies uttered against Thy Holy Name, for all the injuries done to Thee in the Blessed Sacrament, for all the irreverence shown toward Thine immaculate Virgin Mother, for all the calumnies and slanders spoken against Thy spouse, the holy Catholic and Roman Church. O Jesus, who hast said: "If you ask the Father anything in My Name, He will give it to you," we pray and beseech Thee for all our brethren who are in danger of sin; shield them from every temptation to fall away from the true faith; save those who are even now standing on the brink of the abyss; to all of them give light and knowledge of the truth, courage and strength for the conflict with evil, perseverance in faith and active charity! For this do we pray, most merciful Jesus, in Thy name, unto God the Father, with whom Thou livest and reignest in the unity of the Holy Ghost world without end. Amen.

Bishop Hying to Visit Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament
Bishop Donald J. Hying is going to visit our pastorate. On Sunday, January 26, he will be celebrating 8 AM Mass at Immaculate Conception (Boscobel) and the 10:30 AM Mass at St. John the Baptist (Muscoda).
We encourage everyone to attend one of these Masses, listen to our Bishop’s preaching, and time of fellow ship in the hall afterwards.
God bless.

Adoration and Veneration
“The worship of God is called adoration that of angels and saints is called veneration. Only God is to be adored; however, the Church encourages the faithful to be venerate the saints and angels, whose dignity depends entirely upon God’s bounty. This veneration (hyperdulia when applied to Mary, dulia when applied to the angels and saints) is not the same as the veneration due to God alone (latria). We venerate Mary above all of the angel and saints because she is ‘full of grace,’ the most perfect of creatures, the Mother of God and of the Church, and the Queen of Heaven and earth.”
