[32]Fear not, little flock, for it hath pleased your Father to give you a kingdom. Nolite timere pusillus grex, quia complacuit Patri vestro dare vobis regnum. [33] Sell what you possess and give alms. Make to yourselves bags which grow not old, a treasure in heaven which faileth not: where no thief approacheth, nor moth corrupteth. Vendite quae possidetis, et date eleemosynam. Facite vobis sacculos, qui non veterascunt, thesaurum non deficientem in caelis : quo fur non appropriat, neque tinea corrumpit. [34] For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Ubi enim thesaurus vester est, ibi et cor vestrum erit. Music: Veni Sanctu Spiritu

State Rep. Phil Christofanelli (R-St. Peters) has filed sports wagering legislation for the sixth straight year. Representative Christofanelli, a senior member of the Missouri House, tells 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri" that sports betting in Missouri is already happening, through online avenues and as Missourians cross state lines to gamble in Iowa and Illinois. He says sports wagering is good for the state and for consumers. Opponents warn about gambling addiction. The 22-page Christofanelli bill would require the state Department of Mental Health (DMH) to develop an annual research report to assess the social and economic effects of gaming in Missouri:

Evening lessons: Psalm 46; Jeremiah 17; 1 Corinthians 1:26-2:16.  God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

Morning lessons: Psalm 45; Genesis 18; Matthew 16:13-20.,  My heart overflows with a noble song; I will sing my words to the King; my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

The story of St Peter's imprisonment and miraculous release by an Angel of God is told in Acts ch. 12. The chains which fell from his hands were collected by Christians and passed down through the generations as precious relics, finally coming to Constantinople and being placed in the Church of St Peter, where they worked many miracles and healings.   There is nothing superstitious about the veneration of clothing and other objects belonging to the Saints; the Acts of the Apostles describes how handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched the Apostle Paul would heal the sick (ch. 19), and that even the shadow of the Apostle Peter healed those on whom it fell (ch. 5). In the twentieth century, a shirt worn by St Nektarios on his death-bed healed a paralyzed man. The sanctity of those united to God extends not only to their bodies but at times to their garments.

He came from a noble Northumbrian family in Britain, and was tonsured a monk in 653 at Lerins in Gaul. In 669 he was made Abbot of the Monastery of Saints Peter and Paul in Canterbury. He traveled to Rome in 671 to be instructed in monastic practice according to the Rule of Saint Benedict (of Nursia). Returning to Northumbria he established two new monasteries, the first to follow St Benedict's Rule in the British Isles. He went to Rome once again in 678-679, this time bringing back the archcantor of St Peter's, who taught the monks of St Benedict's monasteries the chant and liturgical practices used in Rome.   Under the holy abbot's guidance, these monasteries became flourishing centers of Christian worship, scholarship and art. The Venerable Bede (May 26) was one of his disciples. Saint Benedict reposed in peace in 689 or 690, having greatly strengthened the Church and the Christian faith in Britain.

You are not an angel. You are not a spiritual being who has no need to eat, move, or sleep. We humans are human, body-and-soul beings that God created to function in specific ways. Fighting burnout often begins with recognizing this reality and organizing our lives according to it, which might require the painful work of doing less so that our bodies have energy for what matters most.

AP correspondent Mimmi Montgomery reports on Vatican Pope Benedict XVI Tomb.

Kate Adie presents stories from Brazil, Russia, the US, South Korea and Italy Brazilians this week mourned the loss of one of their greatest footballers, Pele, with hundreds of thousands going to view his open casket in Santos. Meanwhile, the politics continue to divide the nation as Lula Da Silva returned to power. Katy Watson was in Brasilia for his inauguration and reflects on the challenges ahead. Vladimir Putin used his New Year address this year to rally the nation once more for war, as festive ice sculptures even depicted military figures. The announcement of a ceasefire for Orthodox Christmas appeared incongruous with Putin's rhetoric and was dismissed by Ukrainians as a plot to stay their advances. Steve Rosenberg was in Moscow as Russians were once more put on a war footing. Linda Pressly has a dispatch from Tucson in Arizona where she met a group of committed Christians helping migrants who've crossed from Mexico into the harsh landscape of the Sonoran desert, and lost their way. This comes as President Joe Biden prepares to visit the border next week. John Murphy visits the rooftop apartments of South Korea's capital Seoul to hear why they hold such appeal for young Koreans - and how economic circumstances, and social expectations are causing some to leave the city altogether. Rome was also in mourning for another iconic figure - of the Catholic church. 50 000 mourners reportedly attended the funeral of Pope Benedict in St Peter's Square and tens of thousands more paid homage to him as he lay in state. David Willey has covered the Vatican for half a decade, and says there is a bigger sea change underway.

Friends of the Rosary: In various regions and countries, today is the Solemnity of the Epiphany of Our Lord. In the United States and other places, this solemnity is assigned to this Sunday. On this day, we also reflect on the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI, whose funeral mass was celebrated in St. Peter Square, in Rome, yesterday. Particularly, we'd like to highlight his devotion to the Rosary. He recited it each morning and used to contemplate with Mary the face of Christ. He was buried with his Rosary in hands. In a general audience at St Peter's Square on May 1, 2006, Pope Benedict XVI said: • "The Rosary is the prayer of the Christian who advances in the pilgrimage of faith, in the following of Jesus, preceded by Mary.” • “We desire to welcome the Virgin's maternal request, committing ourselves to say the rosary with faith for peace in our families, in countries, and in the whole world.” • “The rosary is a means given by the Virgin for contemplating Jesus and, meditating on his life, for loving and following him always more faithfully.” • “Dear young people, I invite you to value this traditional Marian prayer which helps us to understand better the central moments of salvation realized by Christ. • "Dear sick people, I exhort you to turn with confidence to the Virgin, through this exercise of piety, entrusting all your needs to her." • "Newlyweds, make the praying of the rosary in the family a moment of spiritual growth under the maternal gaze of the Virgin Mary."

Shortly after arriving in Rome the day before Benedict XVI's funeral, Cardinal Vincent Nichols spent some time in prayer and quiet contemplation before the body of the late Pope Emeritus Lying in state in St Peter's Basilica, Pope Benedict was visited by tens of thousands of pilgrims who paid their final respects and offered prayers for the repose of his soul. "Yesterday afternoon, I was able to go into the Basilica of St. Peter's and be in the presence of Pope Benedict's body to pray for him, and on behalf of many people who had asked me to join their prayers together in the presence of Pope Benedict's mortal remains. "It was a very simple time, and what was impressive was the movement of people as they came up the whole length of the aisle of St. Peter's and paused ever so slightly in front of the catafalque where the body of Pope Benedict was visible. "Everybody did the same thing. They made the sign of the Cross. They whispered a prayer and tried to take a picture with their phone. The stewards who were there were saying, "please move on, please don't stop." "I believe 160,000 or more people have passed through the basilica paying their respects and praying for Pope Benedict. And that, to me, is an expression of how much he was loved. "For me, I spent a lot of the time reflecting on my association with Pope Benedict and what I loved and appreciated about him. In a way, it was quite difficult to come away. There was a draw. I felt pulled to stay, but then eventually I had to leave. It was very precious time. "I think how he will be remembered will be as a great scholar who wrote with clarity and simplicity, and who had a very loving disposition and capacity to make people feel welcome and part of whatever it was he was doing - the conversation or the event. "So he'll be remembered both for his learning, but for his warmth of heart and generosity of character."

More than 60,000 people have attended the funeral of Pope Benedict the Sixteenth at a mass in St Peter's Square in the Vatican. Dignitaries from many nations, including the King and Queen of Belgium, were among those present.

Pope Benedict XVI has been buried in the tombs beneath the St Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City. It has been estimated almost 200,000 people paid homage to the Pope Emeritus while he was lying in state over the last three days. Christopher Lamb is the Rome correspondent for the Catholic publication The Tablet, and spoke to Charlotte Cook on Morning Report.

Pope Francis has remembered his predecessor as a noble, gentle person as global leaders and Catholics worldwide mourn the loss of the former Pope whose body will lie in state from Monday in St Peter's Basilica.

In its services, the Church calls St Basil a "bee of the Church of Christ": bringing the honey of divinely-inspired wisdom to the faithful, stinging the uprisings of heresy. He was born in Cappadocia to a wealthy and prominent family. Their worldly wealth, however, is as nothing compared to the wealth of Saints that they have given to the Church: his parents St Basil the Elder and St Emmelia; his sister St Macrina (July 19), the spiritual head of the family; and his brothers St Gregory of Nyssa (January 10), and St Peter, future bishop of Sebaste (January 9).   Inspired and tutored by his father, a renowned professor of rhetoric, the brilliant Basil set out to master the secular learning and arts of his day, traveling to Athens, where he studied alongside his life-long friend St Gregory of Nazianzus. When he returned from his studies in 356, he found that his mother and his sister Macrina had turned the family home into a convent, and that his brothers had also taken up the monastic life nearby. Puffed up by his secular accomplishments, he at first resisted his sister's pleas to take up a life devoted to God, but at last, through her prayers and admonition, entered upon the ascetical life.   After traveling among the monks of Egypt, Palestine and Syria, he settled in Cappadocia as a hermit, living in utter poverty and writing his ascetical homilies. A monastic community steadily gathered around him, and for its good order St Basil wrote his Rule, which is regarded as the charter of monasticism. (St Benedict in the West was familiar with this Rule, and his own is modeled on it.)   In about 370 he was consecrated Bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia. Even as bishop, he continued to live without any possessions save a worn garment to cover himself. At this time the Arian heresy was rending the Church, and it became St Basil's lot to defend Orthodoxy in Sermons and writings, a task which he fulfilled with such erudition and wisdom that he is called "Basil the Great." He reposed in peace in 379, at the age of forty-nine.

Friends of the Rosary: Pope Benedict XVI died at the age of 95 on December 31, 2022. His passing was announced this morning by the Vatican Press Office. "With sorrow, I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican." On Wednesday, December 28, pope emeritus received the anointing of the sick. Pope Francis will preside at Benedict XVI's funeral on Thursday, January 5, 2023, at 9:30 am in St. Peter's Square. From Monday, January 2, the funeral chapel will be open in St. Peter's Basilica. Joseph Ratzinger, who would become Pope Benedict XVI, was born on April 16, 1927, in Marktl am Inn, Germany.

"If you follow the will of God, you know that in spite of all the terrible things that happen to you, you will never lose a final refuge. You know that the foundation of the world is love, so that even when no human being can or will help you, you may go on, trusting in the One that loves you.” ― Pope Benedict XVI “Each of us is the result of a thought of God. Each of us is willed. Each of us is loved. Each of us is necessary.” ― Pope Benedict XVI “The world offers you comfort. But you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness” ― Pope Benedict XVI Ave Maria!
