O C o n n o r We come together in prayer so that our lives reflect the faith we profess Epiphany Of the Lord Reflection Matthew 2:1-2, 9-12 God guided the path of the Magi so that they would arrive in Bethlehem looking for the newborn king of the Jews. God seeks to show us the way also. We need to trust God and journey on the road he shows us. With every new Star Wars movie, fans have seen how the force has guided and awakened talent from each new Jedi. After sacrifice and the offering of their gifts, these characters discover the power of good within them. We need to find our gifts and strengths too. Sometimes fears and worries may cause us to be conflicted, but we must not let anxiety hold us back from following the route God has for us. LTP Daily Prayer 2019 Question To whom do I pay homage? Are they worthy of my respect? JS Paluch Pastoral Patterns Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at it s rising and have come to do him homage. Matthew 2:3

National Migration Week 2019 January 6-12 Pope Francis said this about the international emergency of migrants: "A change of attitude towards migrants and refugees is needed on the part of everyone, moving away from attitudes of defensiveness and fear, indifference and marginalization, all typical of a throwaway culture, towards attitudes based on a culture of encounter, the only culture capable of building a better, more just and fraternal world." The plight of migrants is not just a national concern but also an international concern. As we mark National Migration Week here in the US, let us begin to realize that we all need to open our hearts and doors to those who leave their homes in search of a better life. Let us pray this prayer of the Holy Father from his Message for the 101st World Day of Migrants and Refugees: Dear migrants and refugees! You have a special place in the heart of the Church, and you help her to enlarge her heart and to manifest her motherhood towards the entire human family. Do not lose your faith and hope! Let us think of the Holy Family during the flight in Egypt: Just as the maternal heart of the Blessed Virgin and the kind heart of Saint Joseph kept alive the confidence that God would never abandon them, so in you may the same hope in the Lord never be wanting. 9 Days for Life: Join Bishop Scharfenberger, the Diocese of Albany, and hundreds of thousands across the nation for the USCCB s annual 9 Days for Life Novena, starting January 14, 2019, with daily postings for you to follow at facebook.com/rcdarespectlife.
