HOW I SPENT MY HOLIDAY
After Christmas, a teacher asked her young pupils how they
spent their holiday away from school. One child wrote the
following:
“We always used to spend the holidays with Grandma and
Grandpa. They used to live in a big brick house, but Grandpa
got retarded, and they moved to Florida. Now they live in a tin
box and have rocks painted green to look like grass. They ride
around on their bicycles and wear name tags because they
don’t know who they are any more. They go to a building
called a wrecked center, but they must have got it fixed
because it is all OK now, they do exercised there, but they
don’t do them very well.
“There is a swimming pool, too, but they all jump up and down
in it with hats on. At their gate, there is a doll house with a little
old man sitting in it. He watches all day so nobody can
escape. Sometimes they sneak out and go cruising in their
golf carts. Nobody there cooks, they just eat out. And they eat
the same thing every night—early birds.
“Some of the people can’t get out past the man in the doll
house. The ones who do get out bring food back to the
wrecked center for pot luck.
“My Grandma says that Grandpa worked all his life to earn his
retardment and says I should work hard so I can be retarded
someday, too. When I earn my retardment, I want to be the
man in the doll house. Then I will let people out, so they can
visit there grandchildren.”
(Received from Donald Pohlner.)

RESPECT LIFE
This year on Friday, January 22nd marks that fateful day, the
anniversary of Roe v. Wade, where the outcome declared that a
baby may be aborted in the womb. Today it is even further
advanced where in some places the abortion may take place up
to the moment of birth.
BE SILENT NO MORE
Please join the Respect Life Committee in praying the Rosary of
the Unborn and the recitation of the Chaplet of the Unborn on
Friday, January 22nd at 9:00 AM (immediately following the
8:30 AM Mass).
Our Blessed Mother has promised "For each Hail Mary prayed
from a loving heart will rescue one of these innocent lives from
death by abortion"
Imagine the impact you will have in saving countless lives by
joining us in prayer.

My Jesus,

come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen

JANUARY 10, 2021 - 7 - THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
ENTERING INTO THE LIGHT
We simply want to see as God sees. That’s the work of eternity.
Let’s get started already.
God is light and in him is no darkness a all. If we say we have
fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not
live according to the truth; but if we walk in the light, as he is in
the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of
Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we
deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just, and will forgive our sins and cleanse
us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we
make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
-1 John, 1:5-10
In God’s presence, consider . . .
Am I ready to walk entirely in the light?
Do I want that to be the way I live my life, every day, every hour,
every minute, every second?
Breathing in and out God’s Word, which is my life, which gives
me light?
Closing Prayer:
Make me your light, Lord, all yours.

CATECHISM CORNER: HOW TO EAT AN ELEPHANT
ONE BITE AT A TIME
Article 44 of the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
MAN is by nature and vocation a religious
being. Coming from God, going toward God,
man lives a fully human life if he freely lives by
his bond with God.
Reflection:
There’s a Zen-like irony to this: the only way to be fully human
during our time on earth is to commit our lives to an unseen God
who calls us to a reality beyond what we can know in our
present world.
Prayer.
Jesus, you promised that if we would seek first the kingdom of
heaven, every thing else would fall into place. Keep the promise
you have made to your servants and supply all of our needs.

CHURCH IS OPEN—NORMAL MASS SCHEDULE
For those who have concerns about attending weekend Mass at
this time:
“The obligation to attend Mass on Sunday is lifted until
further notice.” – Bishop John Noonan
If you have reservations about coming to church on the
weekends, think about coming to daily mass to be able to
receive the Blessed Sacrament.
ARE YOU SOMEONE OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO . . .
1. Has expressed an interest in becoming Catholic?
2. Has a child over the age of seven who has not been
baptized?
3. Was baptized Catholic as a child, but has not celebrated the
Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist?
We offer an opportunity to learn more about our faith. Sessions
focus on the teachings and experience of Church and prepare
individuals to celebrate the Sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation, and Eucharist during the Easter season. There are
separate sessions for children or youth. You are welcome to
participate in the process with your questions, your insights and
your faith story in a warm accepting setting. For information
please contact Anna-Marie Wright in the parish office.
MINUTE MEDITATION:
But the Lord is faithful; He it is who will strengthen and guard
you from the evil one.
-2 Thes 3:3
REFLECTION.
God’s faithfulness should be my comfort and my encouragement
when I feel weary and disheartened in performing my duties.
My Father never abandons me. He helps me according to the
measure of my faith.
PRAYER.
Faithful God, strengthen my faith. Make me willing and obedient
in fulfilling Your will, even when it is difficult for me.

THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD - 8 - JANUARY 10, 2021
WHY DID JOHN THE BAPTIST BAPTIZE?
Pat McCloskey, OFM
Q. During Advent we hear Gospel readings about John the
Baptist and his ministry. This month we celebrate Jesus'
Baptism by John. This, however, was not a Jewish practice,
was it? Why was John baptizing in the first place?
A. You cannot find the word baptism or any of its derivatives in
the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament). Baptism was not an
official part of Judaism as it reshaped itself during and after
the Exile in Babylon (most of the sixth century B.C.). Baptism
was, however, practiced unofficially by some Jewish people
in the century before and after Jesus' birth.
In this context, baptism was a sign of general repentance
and thus could be repeated (as altar calls can be among
Protestants). At Qumran on the west side of the Dead Sea,
the Jews known as Essenes practiced a baptism of
repentance during Jesus' lifetime. Some scholars think this
group may have influenced John's ministry.
Around the same time, ritual baths for purification became
more common among Jews in urban areas. These were
obviously not possible during the desert years under Moses.
If you go to the Jewish quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem
today, you can see houses with ritual baths dating back
almost 20 centuries.
Eventually, some confusion arose concerning the baptism
conferred by John the Baptist and the Sacrament of Baptism
given by Jesus' disciples. In Matthew 3:11, John describes
his baptism as being "with water" while Jesus' Baptism will
be "with the Holy Spirit and fire."
In Acts 8:14-17, the apostles in Jerusalem send Peter and
John to baptize some Samaritans who had been baptized "in
the name of the Lord Jesus" but had not yet been baptized
with the Holy Spirit.
Later we meet Apollos, a Jewish man instructed in the Way
of the Lord (Christianity) but who "knew only the baptism of
John" (Acts 18:25). Priscilla and Aquila explained to him the
Baptism that Jesus' disciples used. In Ephesus, Paul
rebaptized those who had received only the baptism of John
(Acts 19:1-5).
The relationship of John's baptism to Christian Baptism is
directly addressed in Matthew 3:11, Mark 1:8 and Luke 3:16.

OUT OF SILENCE COMES LIFE
Out of the silence of Mary’s womb, a baby emerged into a world
of human struggle. The infant, born in a stable in Bethlehem,
outgrew the manger in which he was laid and the swaddling
bands in which he was wrapped, as he would later leave the
tomb and throw off the wrappings of death. Jesus of Nazareth
grew up to challenge his world and ours with the promise of
everlasting love. With his hands, he offered a healing touch; with
his arms, he held and consoled; with his feet, he walked with his
friends and disciples. And after all was said and done he offered
his very body and blood. The Word was consumed in the
wordless eloquence of the cross and the silence of the empty
tomb. Out of that silence is raised a passionate belief in promise,
in covenant. When despair overwhelms us, when promises
suddenly seem empty, when it seems that we’re surrounded by
dashed dreams and disappointment, by love betrayed and
friendships faltering, we remember that we’ve staked our lives
on the belief that only through death is there life.
Out of the silence, we must go forth and proclaim the love of
God alive and dwelling in our midst. To this love we commit all
that we are and all that we can become. We follow Jesus of
Nazareth. We love as he loved. And so we are called to bring a
healing touch to those who hurt, to gather people into a loving
embrace, to cry out at the horrors of oppression and destruction,
to cherish the gifts of creation in all its varied forms.
We must become the word of love spoken by God in our hearts.
We must become the Good News made flesh for our world.

open to the future, spread love. Be poor among the poor. We
need to include the excluded and preach peace.
