Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for

January 2016

Universal Intention: That sincere dialogue

among men and women of different faiths

may produce the fruits of peace and justice.

Intention for Evangelization: That by

means of dialogue and fraternal charity, and

with the grace of the Holy Spirit, Christians may overcome

divisions.

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

January 23 & 24, 2016

Nehemiah 8:2-4a. 5-6, 8-10 They read from the book of the Law and

understood what was read.

Psalm 19 “Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.”

1 Corinthians 12:12-30 or 12:12-14-27 We are Christ’s body.

Luke 1:1-4; 8:14-21 Today the Scripture passage is fulfilled.

Our first reading sets the stage for today’s Gospel. Both stories tell of the proclamation of

God’s word in the midst of the assembly, and of how that word is being fulfilled. Saint Paul

today proclaims that we are members of Christ’s body. As members of that body, we are

compelled to continue the mission that Jesus proclaims. Let us listen carefully and learn

what that mission is.

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

January 30 & 31, 2016

Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19

Psalm 71

1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13 or 13:4-13

Luke 4:21-30

Stewardship

Stewardship involves a change of heart, embodied not just

is a single action, nor even a series of actions, but it one’s

entire life. “...none of you can be my disciple if he does not

renounce all his possessions. “

(Luke 14:33)

Jesus has told us to not worry about what we will say be-

cause the Holy Spirit will speak through us. But, Jesus has

said even more: it’s not our job to worry about results. The

results of our efforts are not our responsibility, our kuleana.

Paraphrasing Scripture:

A man scatters seed and sleeps and rises and the see

sprouts and grows and the man doesn’t know how.

The smallest of seeds, the mustard seed shall grow taller

than all the other seeds.

The sower sows the word and it falls on different

ground and grows (or not) depending on what kind of

ground it is.

The rain falls to the ground but does not rise again until

it fulfills God’s purpose for the ground.

The disciples asked who then can be saved and Jesus

replied that with God all things are possible.

Sharing the faith is not about us. It is about God using us.

We don’t need to worry about the process (of sharing) or

about results - that’s God’s job..

Pro-Life Reflection

Jesus becko0ned a child to come to Him, placed it in their

midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you change

and become like little children, you will never enter the

kingdom of heaven.”

~Mt 18:1-3

Reflection. It is an understatement to say that children are

loved by God or important to Him.

They are central and they exemplify certain virtues and atti-

tudes God wants us all to have.

Prayer. Holy Spirit, keep our minds and hearts focused on

children, that we may learn from them.

Intercessory Prayer

For every little child;

That we might accept and preserve each one

As a sign of the infinite love of God for us;

We pray to the Lord.
