Baptism of the Lord: January 10 That we may fulfill our own Baptismal call by giving ourselves entirely to God and answer His call to holi-ness. “John answered them all, ‘I baptize you with

water; but he who is mightier than I is coming…he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit... ’” (Luke 3:16) The Catholic Cate-chism states that “Jesus’ immersion in the water is a sign for all human beings of the need to die to themselves to do God’s will.” In other words, as baptized Catholics there is only one gift that we need to give to Jesus – the gift of ourselves. Once we surrender ourselves to God, we will know in our hearts what God calls us to do.

Bazaar Results will be Published when received!

Still In Process....

Bautismo del Señor: 10 de enero Que cumplamos con nuestra llamada Bautismal entregándonos a Dios y respondiendo a su

llamado a la santidad. "Juan les respondió a todos, 'Yo los bautizo con agua; pero viene uno más poderoso que yo ...El los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo…' " (Lucas 3:16) El Catecismo Católico establece que “La inmersión de Jesús en el agua es un signo para todos los seres hu-manos de su necesidad de morir para hacer la voluntad de Dios". En otras palabras, como católicos bautizados hay un solo don que nosotros necesitamos darle a Jesús- el don de nosotros mismos. Una vez que nos entregamos a Dios, sabremos en nuestros corazones cual es el llamado de Dios para nosotros.
