BAPTISM OF THE LORD
January 11, 2015
Stewardship Message
Jesus humbled himself and accepted baptism even
though he was without sin. In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells
St. John that it was proper that He be baptized as a sign
of solidarity with humanity. Jesus recognized that His life
was not His own - it was not about Him. As disciples of
Jesus we are called to model Christ’s humility in all that
we do. The humble person recognizes that their gifts are
not of their own making. Everything comes from and
belongs to God. Good Stewardship declares that my gifts
are not mine and they are not about me. The Christian
steward responds to their baptism by using and sharing
their gifts in a manner that gives glory to God.

The “yes” of Nazareth given by
Mary in faith turns into
charity.
She who by the work of the Holy
Spirit was made mother of
the Son, being moved by
that same Spirit, was
transformed into a servant
of all for love of her Son.
Pope Francis

Mardi Gras (this year February 17th) is French for "Fat
Tuesday" reflecting the practice of eating delicious food
before the fasting of the Lenten season. It refers to
the carnival celebrations beginning on or after the
Epiphany and culminating on the day before Ash
Wednesday. Carnival is an important celebration in
Anglican and Catholic European nations. In the United
Kingdom and Ireland, the week before Ash Wednesday
is called "Shrovetide" ending on Shrove Tuesday from
the word "Shrive" meaning confess as it is associated
with the Sacrament of Reconciliation before Lent
