All you who are thirsty,

— Isaiah 55:1

THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
When new sod is put in, it needs
constant saturation with water.
Landscapers say that this “knits” the
sod to the soil. The same when a
branch is grafted onto a tree: the
poultice that joins them at the splice
must be kept wet at all times. Water
is the stuff that binds the very cells
of our bodies together. No wonder
religions throughout all times and
cultures have used it so prominently.
When Jesus stepped into the Jordan
for baptism, he “knit” himself to
what had come before him. By going to the Jordan, he made himself
one with the people of Israel who
had crossed it into their Promised
Land. With John the Baptist, Christ
wove himself into the prophetic tradition that heralded the coming reign
of God. He had become fully human
in the waters of Mary’s womb, and
by partaking in the rite of the baptism of repentance, Jesus identified
himself with our sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of baptism that Christ continues to graft
new members onto his Body, the
Church; through these waters we are
cleansed from sin and filled with the
promise of grace, given our destiny
for eternal life. For us, as for Jesus,
it is also the waters of baptism that
inaugurate our mission to proclaim
the Good News.
Second Reading — God anointed
him with the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:3438) or 1 John 5:1-9.
Gospel — You are my beloved Son,
with you I am well pleased (Mark 1:7
-11).

PLEASE PRAY
Remember our sick, our shut-in’s, our parishioners in nursing and Hospice care. We
are all someone’s child; we all deserve to be remembered during our vulnerable times.
If you have a prayer need or if you know of someone who needs prayer, please use the
Book of Intentions , on the podium beside the Guadalupe picture. Write in names of
those you want to be remembered during the Prayer of the Faithful at Masses all
week. There is no fee or memorial donation. Please remember to pray.
What is a Participating Parishioner? How does this affect ME?
We receive many requests for parishioners to qualify for weddings or to be godparents
or sponsors for the Sacraments of Baptism & Confirmation, and to receive services
offered at St. Frances Cabrini. Part of that request is to call the office to verify if that
person is an “active member” of the Parish.
An “active member” of this Parish is one who:
*Is properly registered and on the parish rolls
*Faithfully attends Mass on Sundays and Holy Days
*Participates in parish activities when possible
*Uses the parish envelope system or online giving to verify attendance
PARTICIPATING CATHOLIC REDUCED TUITION
HOW DO I QUALIFY?
St. Frances Cabrini parishioners who have children in Catholic Schools and who
wish to receive the Parish Participating Tuition Rate must be endorsed by Fr.
Gabe. (See participating parishioner definition above) Contributions to the offertory should be made using the envelope or online giving system as a means of verification of attendance.
