Eucharistic Adoration The best form of prayer after the Holy Sacrifice of the
Mass is Eucharistic Adoration which our parish makes
available each Tuesday from 8:30am-7:00pm. Adoration
is a great opportunity for us to rest in the presence of our Lord,
who is physically present in the host in the monstrance on the
altar. Spending time in the presence of Our Lord can change
your life and the lives of those you pray for!
Dynamic Catholic, Alive! Evangelization
How quick the first disciples were to follow Jesus! They imme-
diately recognized Him as the Lamb of God and followed Him
to where He was staying. How quickly do we go to the church
or the chapel for Mass and prayer, to encounter the Lamb of
God? In order for us to be effective evangelists, we must nour-
ish our own spiritual life and know the One whom we are called
to share with others. This week, take some time to nourish your
spiritual life and focus on encountering the Lord anew so that
you can share Him with conviction in your thoughts, words,
and actions.
Today, the church celebrates the Second Sunday of Ordinary
Time. The name of this season does not mean that it is unim-
portant time. Rather, it is derived from the word, “Ordo” which
in its various forms means ordered or counted because it con-
sists of the counted Sundays of the year. During Ordinary Time,
the Lectionary readings tend to focus less on specific doctrinal
issues or mysteries of salvation history and more on how one is
to live as a disciple of Christ. The first lesson in this course on
discipleship comes today as we reflect on how we hear the call
of God in our lives. Samuel is presented, in the first reading, as
one who hears God call for the first time and seeks to respond
with openness and obedience. Because of the obedience with
which Samuel accepted God’s word, the Lord never permitted
Samuel’s words to be without effect. What kind of reception
does God’s call receive in my life? How well do I hear the word
of God? The question that Jesus asked the two disciples of John
who went after Him is also a question that He asks us today.
What is it that I am looking for? What kind of messiah am I
searching for? Paul reminds us, in the second reading, that our
actions have importance. God cares about how I act and what I
do because He calls me to make Jesus Lord of all of it.

Stewardship Awareness “Jesus turned and saw them following Him and said to them, ‘What are you looking for?’” John 1:38 What are you looking for? Are you wasting your time looking for the material comforts of the world? Or, is your heart longing for something deeper that can only be found by spending time with God? Take time, each day, in silence and ask the Lord what it is that He wants you to do.

and action focused on cherishing the gift of every person’s life.

The generosity, support and prayers of this community are
amazing! If it wasn’t for all the prayers from all of you, Jill
could have never recovered the way she has. She is now off all
life support and this week they will be moving her to a long-
term acute care facility to start her respitory, speech and physi-
cal rehab. Please continue the prayers for the long road ahead
with months of rehab and then another surgery once she builds
her strength back in a few months. Thank you and God bless
you all!
