Internet Websites: www.corpuschristichurch.org http://youthcenter.corpuschristichurchorg Email Address: [email protected] Mission Statement of Corpus Christi Church We, the Catholic Parish of Corpus Christi within the Archdiocese of New York, are “One Body of Christ”. Our mission is to follow Christ’s example of love by which we are bound together with the strength of the Holy Spirit. We incorporate His teachings in our daily lives through corporal and spiritual acts, and we reach out to others with compassion, acceptance and love. This mission consists of proclamation, worship, community, and service. “To accomplish this mission, we have been given a share in the charism of the Salesian Family. This charism gives shape and provides direction and power for all we do, especially for youth.” Like St. John Bosco, we believe in the power of little things and in the significance of each member of our parish family. Actions that are most dear to us include making everyone feel welcome as part of a real family, enabling people to be the best Christian men and women possible, and helping one another feel the presence of our Lord in all things. These actions are directed not only to our own parish family members, but also to those outside our parish, who are most in need.

Many of us will not be able to be physically present at the march; however, we can join with all our brothers and sisters who value the dignity of life with our prayers. Here at Corpus Christi Church there will be an Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament following the 12:00pm Mass, closing with Benediction at 2:20pm. Our school children will take turns spending some quiet time with Jesus, praying for all the children yet to be born. All our parishioners are welcome to join with us praying before our Eucharistic Lord that the sanctity and dignity of life be upheld and respected. It is also the feast day of Blessed Laura Vicuna, a young pupil of the Salesian Sisters in Argentina who understood the value of life and offered her own life for the salvation of her own mother. Every life is a gift to be respected and cherished. Please join us in prayer and be united with all those who work so earnestly to defend the gift of life at all stages from conception to natural death.

Blood Drive Corpus Christi Cafeteria Sunday, January 18th 8:00am-2:00pm The Baptism of our Lord Some Great Saints of the Week THEME SAINT HILARY - JANUARY 12 When new sod is put in, it needs constant satura on with water. Landscapers say that this “knits” the sod to the soil. The same when a branch is gra ed onto a tree: the poul ce that joins them at the splice must be kept wet at all mes. Water is the stuff that binds the very cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions throughout all mes and cultures have used it so prominently. When Jesus stepped into the Jordan for bap sm, 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 Bap st, Christ wove himself into the prophe c tradi on 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 bap sm of repentance. Jesus iden fied himself with our sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of bap sm that Christ con nues to gra new members onto His Body, the Church; through these waters we are cleansed from sin and filled with the promise of grace, given our des ny for eternal life. For us, as for Jesus, it is also the waters of bap sm that inaugurate our mission to proclaim the Good News. Elected bishop in Poi ers in 353 at the height of the Arian heresy, Hilary held true in the face of tremendous opposi on. He was exiled to Turkey for his defense of the orthodox faith. Upon his return, Hilary worked to guide his brother bishops who had fallen prey to pressure from the Arians. Of Hilary, Pope Benedict XVI wrote, “This was precisely his gi : to combine strength in the faith and docility in interpersonal rela ons.” Hilary is known for his great work. On the Trinity as well as commentaries on the Psalms and Ma hew’s Gospel. He was declared a Doctor of the Church in 1851. FIRST READING (Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7) Behold my servant with whom I am pleased; he shall bring forth jus ce to the na ons. RESPONSORIAL PSALM (Psalm 29) The Lord will bless his people with peace. SECOND READING (Acts 10:34-38) God anointed him with the Holy Spirit. THIRD READING (Mark 1:7-11) You are my beloved Son, with you I am well pleased. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Why was Christ bap zed? A er all, He was born without original sin and He lived his en re life without sinning. In submi ng Himself humbly to Bap sm, He provided the example for the rest of us. If even He should be bap zed, how much more should the rest of us be thankful for this sacrament, which frees us from the darkness of sin and incorporates us in the Church, the life of Christ on earth! His Bap sm, therefore was necessary not for Him but for us! SAINT ANTHONY - JANUARY 17 The first Chris an to “go out into the wilderness,” Anthony lived in the Egyp an desert in solitude for many years. Saint Athanasius, who knew Anthony personally, recorded his encounters with demons. Anthony considered all beings - human and angels, fallen or not - to be creatures of God. Only sin, Anthony taught, gives the devil power over a soul, Anthony’s strict life of prayer and fas ng produced a gentle and pa ent wisdom, reflected in the sayings of the Desert Fathers. The fellow hermits that came to live with him formed the beginnings of Chris an monas cism. Anthony died in 356. CHUCKLE FOR THE DAY An elderly woman walked into the local country church. The friendly usher greeted her at the door and helped her up the flight of steps. “Where would you like to sit?” he asked politely. “The front row, please,” she answered. “You really don’t want to do that,” the usher said. “The Pastor is really boring.” “Do you happen to know who I am?” the woman inquired. “No,” he said. “I am the Pastor’s mother,” she replied indignantly. “Do you know who I am?” he asked. “No,” she said. “Good,” he answered.
