About Science

This is a true story which took place over a hundred years ago. A young university student found himself seated on a train beside of an elderly man, dressed neatly but much like a farmer. The older man had a set of beads slipping through his fingers as he prayed the Rosary.

“Sir, do you still believe in such outdated things as that?” the university student asked the old man, pointing to his beads.

“Oh yes, I certainly do. Don’t you?” asked the man.

The student burst into laughter and said, ‘I have long since stopped believing in such silliness. Take my advice, throw that Rosary out the window and learn what science has to tell you.”

“Science?” the old man said with a disturbed look. “I do not understand this science you talk about. Perhaps you can explain it to me.”

The student saw that the man was bothered, so to avoid further hurting his feelings, he said, “Please give me your address and I will send you some literature to help you in these matters.”

The man fumbled about inside his coat pocket and soon produced a small card of identification. The student read the card, looked back a the man, and became silent. On the card he read: “Louis Pasteur, Director of the Institute of Scientific Research, Paris, France.”

 One-Liner: God: “Whew! I just created a twenty-four-hour period of alternating light & dark on earth.”

Angel: “What are you going to do now?”

God: “Call it a day.”

 Did you know that the Rosary is recited every Friday that school is in session at 7:20 am in the chapel of IHC Primary School. If school is not in session on a given Friday, the Rosary is said the last day during the week that school is in session. All are welcome to join us.

 Where I have & have not been

I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in CAHOOTS. Apparently, you can’t go alone. You have to be in CAHOOTS with someone.

I’ve also never been in COGNITO. I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in SANE. They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there. I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family & work.

I would like to go to CONCLUSIONS, but you have to jump, and I’m not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in DOUBT. That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there to often.

I’ve been in FLEXIBLE, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I’m in CAPABLE, and I go there more often as I’m getting older.

One of my favorite places to be is in SUSPENSE! It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!

 Fr. Chevalier Reflections-

The cry that comes from the heart of Jesus is: “May they all be one in love as we are one.” To live in disunity is to wound him greatly.

Where, in your society, can you build “unity” today?

 Quotes from Andy Rooney

I’ve learned….That the easiest way for me to grow as a person is to surround myself with people smarter than I am.

I’ve learned…..That everyone you meet deserves to be greeted with a smile.

I’ve learned…..That no one is perfect until you fall in love with them.

I’ve learned…..That life is tough, but I’m tougher.

I’ve learned…..That opportunities are never lost; someone will take the ones you miss.

I’ve learned…..That when you harbor bitterness, happiness will dock elsewhere.

I’ve learned…..That I wish I could have told my Mom that I love her one more time before she passed away.

 Now that the business of the Christmas Season has passed, there will be a continuation of the Bible study offered last fall. This portion will go beyond the basics but will be easily manageable for anyone who is familiar with the structure of the Bible. You need not have participated in the first part that met during Advent. Part 2 is open to everyone . There is no cost, and the group will continue as long as there is interest here in the Jefferson Deanery. We will examine biblical books and themes as well as related topics of interest. The group will meet weekly on Tuesday evenings beginning on January 10th. All sessions will run from 7 to 8:30 pm. Our meeting place will again be the sacristy of Holy Family Church on Winthrop St. in Watertown . It is not necessary to contact me in advance, but if you have questions, please feel free to call and leave a message at Holy Family rectory at 782-2468. Deacon Mike Allan
