Watching For The Messiah
Today’s Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and
following Jesus sounds so simple and casual, it’s easy to
miss the significant acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there is the Lamb
of God.” John’s faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that
John’s disciples immediately leave his side to follow this
Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to spread
the good news of their discovery: “We have found the
Messiah.”
It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the
hopes of many ages of faithful people were being fulfilled
in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly
everyone among the Jewish people was watching for the
Messiah back then; who in our own society watches for
signs of the presence of the Messiah today?

Passion & Purpose
Are you thriving or just surviving? Are you ready for
more energy? A deeper sense of purpose? More joy?
A clearer understanding of God’s plan for your life?
If you said yes to any of these questions then join us for a
Passion & Purpose event at St. Finbar Catholic Church,
2010 W Olive Ave. in Burbank. The topic is Living Every
Day With Passion & Purpose with Matthew Kelly and
will be held on Friday, February 27, 7 to 10:45 pm.
Incarnation's Confirmation Process implemented Matthew
Kelly's program, Decision Point, as a new tool to engage
our young Catholics in a meaningful conversation about
the beauty and genius of our Faith to prepare them to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. The program teaches and inspires our youth to respond and cooperate with
God's grace in all circumstances of their daily lives, long
after their Confirmation has passed.
It is a great opportunity for all parishioners, especially the
families of those who have students in our Confirmation
Program to hear Matthew Kelly’s presentation. Tickets
are $39 and include materials. Please purchase your tickets in advance at www.dynamiccatholic.com or call 859980-7900.
