Feast of the Baptism of the Lord

Fittingly, this Jubilee Year of Mercy is also the Lectionary’s Year of Luke, for Luke’s Gospel highlights God’s mercy in finding the lost, healing the sick, restoring the broken, comforting the sorrowful, forgiving the sinner through Jesus’ ministry. But before doing, Luke’s Jesus is always praying. As practical moderns programmed to measure worth by productivity, we instinctively appreciate the Jubilee’s call to embrace the practical challenges of our baptism. But today Luke focuses not on Jesus being baptized, but on Jesus praying after baptism. So must we pray to become the disciples we are called to be, that the Spirit empower us to do what disciples are called to do. Imitating Jesus’ openness to the Spirit will enable us to cooperate with the grace that transforms us into “beloved sons [and daughters] . . . in whom the Father is well pleased,” living out, in this Jubilee Year of Mercy, the extraordinary potential of our baptism.

—Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

When we were growing up, my siblings and I would often ask our grandmother to tell us stories about our mother when she was young. We liked listening to our mother tell those same stories from her perspective. The stories varied in some details, but it always felt like a veil was lifted on the past and we had some sense of where we came from along with some insight about our mother’s personality. She, of course, did the same thing for my daughters, making them giggle at the story of my getting into her perfume bottle when I was three. Such stories connect us with the people we know. Old friends trade stories of shared experiences; young companions learn about the world from the stories of their elders and even from the stories their friends tell them about their lives. In Acts, Peter appeals to his listeners by telling the story they know so well. He even appeals to their shared experience as he says, “You know…” (v. 36). Stories connect us to one another and open the door to understanding each other a little more and a little better. In his story, Peter marks the baptism of Jesus as the beginning of his ministry. Our story in the Christian community begins with baptism as well. Peter records that Jesus went on “doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil, for God was with him” (v. 38). What would the story of our lives after baptism tell people about us? Would someone like Peter tell people that we went about doing good and loving God and neighbor?

ADORACIÓN AÑO JUBILAR DE LA MISERICORDIA

FIESTA DEL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR

Que providencial que este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia coincida con el año C del Leccionario, que es cuando toca leer los domingos el Evangelio de Lucas el cual subraya la misericordia de Dios, encontrando lo perdido, sanando a los enfermos, restableciendo lo separado, consolando a los tristes, perdonando al pecador por medio del ministerio de Jesús. ¡Pero antes de que esto suceda, Lucas presenta a Jesús orando! Como prácticas modernas programadas para medir el costo por medio de la productividad, nosotros intuitivamente apreciamos el llamado del Jubileo incluyendo los desafíos prácticos de nuestro Bautismo. Pero hoy Lucas se concentra no en que Jesús se bautiza, sino en Jesús orando después de su bautizo. Así que debemos orar para convertirnos en los discípulos a los que estamos llamados a ser, que el Espíritu pueda empoderarnos hacer lo que los discípulos estamos llamados a ser. Imitando la apertura de Jesús al Espíritu nos permitirá cooperar con la gracia que nos transforma en “amados hijos e hijas” “en quien el Padre se complace”, viviendo en este Año Jubilar de la Misericordia, el extraordinario potencial de nuestro Bautismo. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

OBRAS DE MISERICORDIA ESPIRITUALES

SUFRIR CON PACIENCIA LOS DEFECTOS DE LOS

DEMAS

La tolerancia y la paciencia ante los defectos ajenos es virtud y es una obra de misericordia. Sin embargo, hay un consejo muy útil: cuando el soportar esos defectos causa más daño que bien, no se debe ser tolerante. Con mucha caridad y suavidad, debe hacerse la advertencia.

¡Que fácil es ver la paja en el ojo del prójimo y no vemos la viga en el nuestro!. Cuando seamos capaces de disimular los defectos de nuestro hermano, estaremos colaborando en la construcción del Reino del Señor. Tengamos paciencia con los ancianos, los niños, el vecino, el compañero de trabajo y ellos la tendran con nosotros, en nuestros defectos.

Essentials of Elder Law & Estate Planning: It’s Not Just Wills

St. Andrew Hall January 14, 2016

However, estate planning is more than just having a good Will; it also involves having effective Powers of Attorney; protecting against incapacity, catastrophic costs of nursing homes, unscrupulous heirs, disabled heirs, probate, trusts (revocable and irrevocable) and the potential problems that can arise in estate planning with blended families. Learn the basics of Elder Law 101 and why Elder Law is more than just having a “simple will.”

A Deep, Biblical Look at Jesus Christ Starting Wednesday, January 13, 2016—March 2, 2016

The better we understand Jesus, the better we understand ourselves. But who was Jesus, this itinerant preacher whom many called the Messiah? In Priest, Prophet, King, you’ll discover Jesus as the Anointed One–the ultimate priest, prophet, and king foreshadowed throughout the Hebrew Scriptures. Using biblical insights and engaging stories, Bishop Barron affirms that we see Jesus most clearly through the lens of the Old Testament. Through this deeply biblical program, you will better understand Jesus, become more familiar with Scripture, and realize your own priestly, prophetic, and kingly mission, received when you are baptized “into Christ.”

“But where sin increased, grace increased all the more.”

Romans 5:20

Entering into this Jubilee Year of Mercy and looking ahead the Penitential Season of Lent, we take a look at sin, how we can overcome its effect through the gift of God’s grace, and that God’s grace is not an excuse to sin but rather a reason to love and serve Him more fully. Please RSVP to the parish office 843-815-3100 ext 321 if you plan to attend.
