2 Behold the Lamb of God I wonder if anyone understood John the Baptist when he called Jesus the Lamb of God. After Jesus death and resurrection, the apostles began to understand that Jesus blood, shed on the cross, freed us all from sin and death. Yet here is the Baptizer already acting like a disciple before Jesus has gathered any disciples or even begun to preach. In today s Gospel, John the Baptist gives us some hints about discipleship. First, John trusts God with things he does not understand. He says twice that he did not know Jesus. We too may not always understand where God is leading us. If you have lost a loved one, are looking for work when no one is hiring, or are dealing with serious illness, this is the time to trust that God still loves and cares for you. John also knew that doing God s work meant that God was working through him. Originally, John baptized others as sign of repentance, but he soon came to see that his real work was to make Jesus known to Israel (John 1:31). When we try to do what God wants, it is good to remember that God is the one in control and who decides what the result will be. John s third hint teaches us that a disciple shares his or her faith in God. So John testifies that Jesus is the Son of God. Even today, when Jesus is known throughout the world, we still need to share our faith experiences so those without faith may be attracted to it, and even those with faith can be encouraged by our sharing. You may be surprised to find that your own faith deepens the more you share it with others. Tom Schmidt, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.

Say not to your neighbor, Go, and come again, tomorrow I will give, when you can give at once. Proverbs 3:28 Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match charitable contributions made by their employees. To find out if your company has a matching gift policy please see or call your Human Resources Department. They often require specific forms for you to complete. Wouldn t it be great to double your gift to St. Anne s Bridge to The Future campaign? Several area corporations have come to our attention in the past so please check into yours and consider making a contribution and having it matched if you have not already. Thank you!
