PASTOR’S COLUMN
BAPTISM OF THE LORD
11 January, 2015
Today is a transitional feast as the Christmas
Season officially comes to a close and we return
to Ordinary Time. Truly, Christmas was a
wonderful celebration in the parish. Thanks to
those wonderful people whose generous ministry
to the parish helped it all to happen. Thank you
to all the Environment ministers led by Renee
Jost and Jon Gerner. Both churches were
magnificently decorated, creating an atmosphere
which enabled us all to enter the celebration a
little more deeply. Thank you as well to our
Music Ministry. Led by Barbara Sykora, the
choirs, both adult and children, the ensemble,
the cantors all led us in song and enabling us to
“pray twice” as the old saying goes. Thank you
also to our ushers, our greeters and sacristans,
to our Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
and to our altar servers. Finally, thank you to our
Deacons and to Fr. Kolla and Fr. Friel whose
liturgical leadership helped to bring our efforts
together into one hymn of praise and worship.
May God bless all of them and all of Christ the
Good Shepherd Parish as we enter the new
year.
Msgr. Burton

we have received from the community.
God Bless! CODE BLUE VINELAND”

BAPTISM OF THE LORD
First Reading: Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7
Isaiah tells of the Lord’s Servant, who will be inconspicuous, but
will not rest until justice is established. The Lord then tells his
servant that he was formed to be “a light for the nations.”
Second Reading: Acts 10:34-38
Peter speaks to a group of pagans for the first time. He explains
to them that any person who follows God’s will is acceptable to
God, regardless of nationality.
Gospel: Mark 1:7-11
John the Baptist had claimed one would come far more powerful
than himself, one who would baptize with the Holy Spirit rather
than water. When Jesus came to John and was baptized, the
Spirit descended on him and a voice said, “You are my beloved
Son. On you my favor rests.”
CHILDREN’S NOTES TO BABY JESUS
Children who visited the Scribe shop at Journey to
Peace on December 13 and 14 wrote letters to the
newborn baby Jesus. Here are a few of them:
Dear Baby Jesus,
This is the world that you will soon rule. You benefit
this land. Welcome!
Love, Drew
Dear Jesus,
Thank you for saving our world. You are a savior to
me. Take care.
Anthony
Welcome baby Jesus,
We would like you to be in our world, its a very happy
world.
Brett
Happy Birthday Jesus. Thanks for dieing for us on the
cross hope to see you again soon.
Love, William

Baptism of the Lord
Stewards Put God First
“One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not
worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals”
– MARK 1:7b
We are put on this earth to love God, love our neighbor
and make disciples. How many times does our own pride
and ego get in the way on fulfilling God’s plan for us?
Humbling ourselves before God and putting Him first in all
things should be our top priority as His Stewards.

OUTREACH TO THE SICK
Whenever someone becomes ill, hospitalized or homebound, it is
easy to feel disconnected, even isolated. Such times are often
times when parish outreach becomes vitally important. Our
priests, deacons and Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist
perform an extraordinary service on behalf of the sick and the
homebound in the parish. Unfortunately, because of the size of
the parish and current privacy laws, it sometimes happens that
someone is not visited in time of illness, or we are not aware of
someone’s need until it reaches the level of emergency.
We hope to prevent this from happening as much as possible.
When someone becomes ill and is confined to home or
hospitalized, please let us know as soon as possible. We will try
to arrange a visit, and where necessary provide the Sacraments.
Because of current privacy laws, it is necessary that a member of
the immediate family make the request by contacting the parish
office at 691-9077 or contacting us via email at
[email protected]. The form below may also
be used.

As 2015 begins, fifth grade students have been
studying about the Christmas season, a time of
rejoicing in the Incarnation. They are learning
about the sacraments of Christian Initiation and
Jesus' Real Presence in the Eucharist through
listening, reading and reflecting on Scripture
passages. Fifth graders are working on writing
cards of encouragement to those receiving their
First Holy Communion and Confirmation. In Social
