(justuandi@verizon.net) Welcoming Ministry Phyllis Simonich (phyllis.simonich@verizon.net) 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 (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Inc. QUESTION OF THE WEEK Adult: What are some of the ways in which you have been comforted by God s merciful compassion? Youth: Reflect on how God and others comfort you in life. How can you share this comfort and mercy with others? NEXT SUNDAY S READINGS First Reading -- As a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so God rejoices in the chosen Zion and Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:1-5). Psalm -- Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations (Psalm 96). Second Reading -- All the varied gifts and talents found in the Christian community are products of the same Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). Gospel -- At a wedding festival in Cana, Jesus changes water into wine at his mother s request (John 2:1-11).

Today s teens may seem to be always online, with constant messaging and sharing on social media with a large audience. The internet is a great place to meet people, but these meetings come with potential dangers that can put kids and teens at risk. You don t know who you re really talking to online. Pay attention to the sites your kids on computers and mobile devices. Monitor the sites that they visit and ask questions about who they talk to and what information they provide to their online friends.
