Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
January 11, 2015
FOCUS: The fullness of God’s Spirit was upon Jesus.
The Spirit of God moved and worked in the lives of prophets and saints. But the fullness of God’s
Spirit rested upon his son, Jesus. The power and presence of the Holy Spirit was evident in the life
of Jesus. When we open our lives to Jesus, we receive the same Spirit that strengthened and sustained Jesus during his life and ministry.
LITURGY OF THE WORD: Isaiah prophesies that God will send his servant, the one on
whom God’s Spirit will rest. In our reading from the Acts of the Apostles, Peter confirms that God’s
Spirit was upon Jesus at his baptism. A voice from heaven declared that Jesus was God’s beloved
son, in whom he was well pleased.
REFLECTION: Jesus enters John’s baptismal waters today and God expresses approval.
Jesus is the one God sends, the one the people longed to see. He is not a quick and powerful solution to immediate problems. He is gentle and single-minded and will accomplish his purpose guided
by the wisdom of God and the power of God’s love for us. The servant will be rejected, but will continue trust in God’s will.
So we ask ourselves:
i What difference does our baptism make in our daily lives?
i How "visible" is our baptism to those around us?

World Meeting of Families Catechesis
The Meaning of Human Sexuality
The tangible, earthly, corporeal world is more than inert matter or modeling clay for the human will. Creation is
sacred. It has sacramental meaning, It reflects God’s glory. That includes our bodies. Our sexuality has the power to procreate, and shares in the dignity of being created in the image of God. We need to live accordingly.
Special Collection this Weekend
Today, a special second collection will be taken up to
aid those within the Church working to combat the
Ebola virus. Specifically, the collection would go to
Catholic Relief Services. The CRS would like to use
the proceeds from this collection to reopen and bring
to full capacity a Catholic health facility in Liberia that
was closed when many of the staff died of Ebola; and
to support the efforts to bury the dangerously infectious bodies of the deceased in a safe manner. Thank
you for your prayers and generosity.
Do you have questions about the Catholic faith?
Saint Cecilia Parish offers year round opportunities for
people seeking more information about the Catholic
Faith, the Sacraments and living the Christian life.
These opportunities are for adults who would like to
inquire about following Jesus and becoming a member of the Catholic Church. There are many people
like yourself inquiring and we are ready to answer
your questions. For more information, please contact
the rectory at 215-725-1240.
