Funerals: Arrangements are made with the Parish Office through the funeral director before publication in the newspaper.
Today, we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. The Baptism of Jesus is also an epiphany in the sense that God makes Himself known through Jesus. As Jesus is baptized by John, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are revealed to us. Jesus is
baptized, the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove, and the Father speaks, “This is My Beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.” This feast is a good time for us to reflect on our own Baptism and what our relationship with God has to do with our daily life. At Baptism, we begin a relationship with God, a relationship that is meant to grow and develop throughout our lives. Baptism is not an end in itself, but a beginning of our life in God. When parents ask to have their child baptized, they are saying that their relationship with God is something important to them and they want to share it with their child. It really makes no sense for parents, who do not practice their Catholic Faith, to present their child for Baptism. Often, when a child is born, it can be an awakening for the parents that maybe they need to take their own faith seriously if they are really going to share it with their child. At the Baptism of a child, the parents make a solemn promise to God and the Church that they will live their own faith and share it with their child. The only way they can be faithful to that promise is through prayer and frequent reception of the sacraments. This means going to Mass every Sunday. Going to Mass every Sunday should be at the heart of anyone who calls himself a Catholic. So, when we miss Mass through our own fault, we must go to Confession before we receive Holy Communion or we commit an even more serious sin by receiving Holy Communion in the state of mortal sin. This only makes sense because we cannot say to God one Sunday that we do not have time for Him and the next Sunday show up and act like nothing happened. There needs to be reconciliation when we have made a deliberate choice that separates us from God and the Church. Baptism in some way defines our vocation because we are called by God to be one with Him now and in the world to come. We are made to be with God for all eternity. This is our calling or vocation. How we respond to this call constitutes our vocation in life, which is one of three possibilities: married, single, or religious life. These three basic vocations call us all to the end for which we were created and that is; to know, love, and serve God in this life and be happy with Him in the next. A big thank-you to Fr. Pat and the Predictables (Chris Serger, Joe McNeill, and Josh Watson) for the beautiful evening of reflection last Sunday. It was an evening of song and reflection helping us to reflect on the many gifts of God’s creation and all that He gives in our lives, especially in our faith as Catholics. It was a time to renew our faith, hope, and love, which can draw us more closely to God and to one another; something we need so much amid all that goes on in our world and our lives today. The evening was a wonderful conclusion to our Christmas celebration. I hope that it helped everyone who was there or watched it on the live stream to prayerfully reflect on the meaning of Christmas and the great gift that God has given us in His Son Jesus Christ. Hopefully, the gift that God has given us will always inspire us to give of ourselves to those in need, especially the hungry and the homeless. All the donations received at the evening of reflection were for the benefit of our St. Vincent de Paul Society. Thank you to all who generously donated. May God bless all of you for your kindness and spirit of sacrifice. On a personal note: thank you all for your prayers and concern for my health. I have been having a difficult time getting around since I had some surgery on my foot. It is healing, but it is slow, really slow. Thankfully, I have been able to celebrate Mass with the help of the cane. I just have to be patient and careful. Please keep the prayers coming. Thank you again, and God bless you.

BAPTISM OF THE LORD JANUARY 10, 2021
READINGS FOR THE WEEK OF JANUARY 11, 2021
This is what John the Baptist proclaimed: “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” It happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon Him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
