We are all familiar with both St. Matthew s and St. John s gospels, and the stages they describe that John the Baptist went through before he recognized Jesus as the Savior. Even from prison, the Baptist sent his followers to find out from Jesus if he really was the Chosen one. It seems that Jesus actions in public ministry were surprising to the Baptist, and not quite what he had been expecting. For most of us, I think it is fair to state that our faith journey comes in stages or by degrees. Again, most of us are cradle Catholics and our faith development reflects this necessary progression as we grow in wisdom. We encounter Jesus at least weekly in the Sunday liturgical setting (and hopefully in daily bible reading and study), and the more we meet Jesus, the more our faith progressively deepens. Personal Reflection Like John the Baptist, my faith is a work in progress and needs time to deepen and grow through repeated encounters with Christ. In what ways have I taken steps to make sure that this necessary growth takes place? What one additional action can I take this week in response to the scripture readings today? ~Rev. Edward J Smith

4 ST. ANTHONY OF PADUA CHURCH ADORATION CHAPEL Blessed be the Most Holy Name of Jesus. May the most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and ineffable Name of God be forever praised, blessed, loved adored and glorified in Heaven, on earth and under the earth by all the creatures of God and by the Sacred Heart of our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy of Our Lord Jesus Christ in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. ~An act of praise and reparation dictated by Jesus to Sr. Mary of St. Peter Promulgator of 40 Hours (of Eucharistic Adoration) in the U.S., St. John wrote: How much I love You...yet I do not love You enough. My lack of devotion and my negligence still haunt me... My Jesus, my love, my all, gladly would I endure hunger, thirst, heat and cold to remain always with You in the Blessed Sacrament.
