Pope’s Prayer intentions for January 2015 Universal: Peace That those from diverse religious traditions and all people of good will may work together for peace. Evangelization: Consecrated life That in this year dedicated to consecrated life, religious men and women may rediscover the joy of following Christ and strive to serve the poor with zeal. From Birth to Ministry While it seems an abrupt shi from Christmas Day, the bap sm of Jesus is the next public step in his life. As it reminds us why we take so much joy in Christmas itself, it is a fi ng end to our celebra on of the Christmas season. Following his bap sm, we see Jesus preaching the Good News, healing the sick, giving sight to the blind and doing all those things which are signs of Emmanuel, God living among us with his saving power. We take down decora ons, normal schedules resume and it s ll looks like winter. But the days grow longer and we too have a mission. A er our celebra ng, we are to act. We are to organize our lives to let the Holy Spirit lead us as we a empt to live as God’s people in everything we do. In all things, we are to let the Light of Christ shine through us. A Ques on What does it mean to you personally to “live as God’s people in everything we do”? What do you find to be most helpful in your day-to-day life to keep you “on track”? What difference does it make when you are conscious of following/imita ng Christ in responding to the situa ons of daily life? May our gracious, loving God grant us faith, courage and freedom from confusion, that in all areas of our lives we may see clearly, plan wisely and act surely as children of the Light.
