January 10, 2016 ~ Baptism of the Lord
Mass of Remembrance Monday, November 2, 7pm in the Church. We Invite You to Bring a Picture of Your Deceased Loved One to Display on the Altar. Pastor’s Corner
The baptism of Jesus reminds us of our own baptism.
There are many offices that people can hold in the
Church. But all of these pale when compared to the
basic gift of all: baptism. When we stand before the
throne of God, these other offices will be of no importance. Our dignity will depend on one thing – the extent to which we have lived out our baptismal calling.
The ceremony of baptism is a beautiful one. In it we
were formally given a name and welcomed into the family
of God’s people. Lovely prayers are said over us. Our
body is signed with the sign of the cross, the mark of
Christ’s love for us. Water is poured over us. Water is a
symbol of cleansing, and in baptism we are cleansed of
sin. But it is more especially a symbol of life. In baptism
we are given a share in the undying life of God.
Not once but twice our bodies were anointed with
holy oil. Just as the bodies of athletes were smeared
with oil to give them strength to compete, so we were
anointed with holy oil to give us strength for the inevitable struggle against evil. And just as kings, prophets and
priests were anointed with oil and thus marked out as
God’s ministers to the community, so we are anointed
with the oil of chrism that we may be envoys of Christ in
the world.
Our body was covered with a white garment, the outward sign of our Christian dignity. We were given a candle lighted from the Easter candle to signify the precious
light of faith. God called us out of darkness into the wonderful light of his Son.
What happened at the baptism of Jesus happened at
our baptism. too. God called us by name. He said to
each of us, “You are my beloved son” or “You are my beloved daughter.” And the Spirit descended on us in order
to help us to live the life of a Christians and to participate
in the mission of Jesus.
From a spiritual point of view, baptism is the greatest
thing that can happen to us. To be baptized is to be
christened, that is, to be made like Christ. But this
doesn’t happen automatically as a result of being baptized. One has to learn what it means to be a Christian,
and to grow into it. This is the task of a lifetime. Towards
the end of his life a saint was asked if he was a Christian
and he replied, “Not yet.”
There are many vocations in the
Church. But the most important vocation
of all is common to all the baptized. It is
the vocation we received at baptism – the
vocation to be disciples of Jesus. This is
the core vocation. Every other vocation in the Church
must be seen in relation to this one.
We celebrate birthdays. So we should celebrate our
baptismal day, because this was the day we were born as
children of God. Every time we enter the church and sign
ourselves with holy water we are reminding ourselves of
our baptism and committing ourselves to live up to it. To
live one’s baptism is to live as a disciple of Jesus.
******
Many thanks for the many cards, gifts, and goodies. I
gained about 15 pounds over the holidays so I have work
to do to get those extra pounds off. But it was nice while
it lasted.
Thank you for all you are and do for the parish. We
give thanks for the blessings of 2015 and we look forward with hope and mercy to 2016.
God Bless! Fr. Pat

Bob wasn’t very good at baseball, even
though his dad was the coach. Bob tried the
outfield; he couldn’t track long fly balls. Bob
tried the infield; he couldn’t figure out the footwork to field the ball well. He did want to try one position,
catcher, but his dad kept saying, “no.” Bob liked catching. He
could see the whole field. He had a knack for stopping pitches in the dirt, and best of all, he got to wear the cool gear.
One night the team’s regular catcher didn’t show up for
the game. Bob’s dad reluctantly made Bob the catcher. Bob
caught the entire game. In the final inning, Bob’s team was
winning by one run. The tying run was on third base and there
were two outs. The batter hit a dribbler back to the pitcher;
Bob stood up and rushed to the front of the plate. The pitcher, instead of throwing to first, threw the ball to Bob. Bob
caught it and went to make the tag. There was a collision and
everything went dark for a moment. Bob came back to his
senses with his team standing over him, smiling. Bob could
still feel the ball pressed into his catcher’s mitt by his right
hand. Bob’s dad, picked him up and with great excitement
yelled, “By golly! I think I’ve found us a catcher!” Mercy helps us to see the best in others.
● In what ways are you like Bob? In what ways are
you like the dad?
● Who is doing good things around you? Have you
told them?
● During this week seek out a person who may
need to hear a message of “I am pleased with
you, I am proud of you,” and tell them.

Stewardship Reflection ~ Jan 10, 2016
SOLD OUT
Today we celebrate the Solemnity of
the Baptism of the Lord. This officially
brings to an end the season of
Christmas. You might say this is a
second Epiphany. It is important to us
as Catholics and Christians because it
represents a second creation involving
the entire Trinity.
In fact in the Eastern Church this
feast is called Theophany because God appears in three
persons. Jesus the Son is baptized; the Holy Spirit
descends upon Him; and God declares “You are my
beloved Son; with You I am well pleased.”
We recall our own Baptism on this day, because
Christ’s Baptism represents in many ways what occurred
at our Baptism. At Christ’s Baptism the Holy Spirit
descended upon Him. At our Baptism the Trinity
occupied our soul; Christ was declared the “Beloved
Son”; at our Baptism we became a child of God. At
Jesus’ Baptism the heavens were opened, and at our
Baptism heaven was opened to us.
On this Holy Day we need to reflect upon our own
Baptismal calls — calls to live and love on this earth, a
command to seek holiness, to actively be disciples of
Christ, calls which can be achieved in part by embracing
stewardship as a way of life. The Catechism of the
Catholic Church (#1213) states: “Holy Baptism is the
basis of the whole Christian life, the door which gives
access to the other sacraments. We are incorporated
into the Church and made sharers in her mission.”
Saint Vincent de Paul
As we begin this bright New Year, we ask that the Lord’s loving presence rekindle our faith, strengthen
our spirit, and help us to be sensitive to those in need around us. St. Vincent de Paul can be your link to
making a difference in the lives of our brothers and sisters who are struggling. Call us at 480-948-8370
