In the Gospel today John the Baptist points out Jesus as the “Lamb of God,” the one who

lived and accepted even death to save us from sin. Although we live in uncertain times, we are

called to live in union with the One who ransomed us by his own death out of love for

us. We will indeed face what he faced – suffering, fear and death – but like him we are promised a share in his risen life and glory. How can we share our hope this week?

How can we break through fear and anxiety in our lives or the lives of those around us

because of our faith in Jesus?

Diocese of Austin

Year of the Domestic Church

JANUARY 2021: Throughout history, God has spoken to man. He spoke through Abraham, Moses

and the prophets. God’s Word became flesh

in Jesus, and he continues to speak to us

today through Scripture and the Tradition of the Church.

God also speaks to each person through his

or her vocation in life. Each person has a

vocational calling. A person’s vocation is the

way in which he or she grows in holiness through

service of God. Some people are called to

marriage while others are called to the

priesthood or religious life. Some people serve

God in their single state of life. Regardless of

a person’s vocational calling, all of the faithful

are called to serve God in charity and faithfulness.

In his apostolic exhortation Ecclesia in America,

Pope John Paul II said: “The word of God,

faithfully read in the family, gradually builds

it up as a domestic church and makes it fruitful

in human and Christian virtues; it is there that

the source of vocations is to be found.”

By remaining close to God’s word in the Scriptures,

families are able to help each other discern

God’s voice in their own lives.

In this way, families can support and nurture

the vocation of its members as they help each

other lead holy lives.

What is a way that your family can share

the Scriptures with each other?

How can you support each family member’s vocation?

DAILY PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS

Heavenly Father, your divine Son taught us to pray to

the Lord of the harvest to send laborers into his

vineyard. We earnestly beg you to bless our diocese

and our world with many priests and religious men

and women who will love you fervently, and gladly

and courageously spend their lives in service to your

Son’s Church under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

We pray that their lives may be always centered on

our Eucharistic Lord; that they be always faithful to

the Holy Father; and that they may be devoted sons

and daughters of Mary, our Mother, in making you

known and loved; and that all may attain Heaven.

Bless our families and our children and choose from

our homes those whom you desire for this holy work.

We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
