What does it mean for the Church, for us, today to be disciples of Jesus the Lamb of God? Pope Francis says it so eloquently: "It means putting innocence in the place of malice, love in the place of force, humility in the place of pride, service in the place of prestige. It is good work!" Being disciples of the Lamb means that we must not live like a "city under siege," but like a city on a hill, welcoming and in solidarity. It means being open, proposing the gospel to everyone, testifying with our life that following Jesus makes us freer and more joyful. We Christians must put innocence in the place of malice, love in the place of force, humility in the place of pride, and service in the place of prestige. The word "lamb" appears several times in the New Testament and almost always in reference to Jesus. The image of the lamb might surprise us; an animal that is certainly not characterized by its strength and hardiness takes upon himself such an oppressive weight. The enormous mass of evil is removed and taken away by a weak and fragile creature, who is a symbol of obedience, docility, and defenseless love, who goes to the point of sacrificing himself. The lamb is not an oppressor, but is docile; he is not aggressive, but peaceful. And this is how Jesus is! He is like the lamb. We are called to point Christ out to people, as John and Andrew did. As followers of Christ, we must proclaim: "We have found the Messiah." Like Samuel and John, the apostles Peter and Andrew, we need to speak words that will change peoples' lives. We don't need to go looking; we find these people among our neighbors, our friends, or our acquaintances at church. Christ wants our actions and our words to both loudly proclaim that we have found the Messiah. Jesus has come as the Christ, the Anointed, the Messiah. He makes sense if our interior ear has listened also to our need for a savior. We must hear deeply our incompleteness and our longing to be invited out of our self-centeredness. Jesus continues to keep offering his way and truth and life. Hearing the way and truth and life summons us to a new direction. Hearing the Lamb of God, the first disciples experienced a true epiphany; they had found the Messiah. None of them could contain their excitement in hearing the words of Jesus. We receive a specific call from the Lord to follow and serve the Lord in a particular manner. God has chosen us and has called each of us by name. When God calls someone by name, that indicates his mission for that person. That calling by name and that mission constitute a vocation. God chooses us as priests, as consecrated religious men and women to serve the Church and his people. God calls us to marriage, to live out a love for one another in the mission of raising a family. Or God can choose us to be single; to live celibate and chaste lives for the good of the Church. Every man and woman needs to encounter Christ, the Savior, in a truly personal fashion. It is unlikely that it will be recognized from the start as something extraordinary; only in time does one realize who it is that is calling. We all have a vocation, a specific call from the Lord to follow and serve him in a particular way. Parents should be the first to point out Jesus to their children and encourage them to follow him and listen to their call. The story of call and response is repeated in the life of each sincere Christian. To answer God's call means more than keeping the commandments. It means that one's life is directed to waiting and listening for the guidance of God. It means saying to the Lord, as Andrew did, "Rabbi, where do you live?" "Where can I spend some time in your company?" To become a disciple of Christ, we must have a listening heart. If we are truly to be his disciples, we have to sit at his feet every day. It must become our life. We must make sure we stay until the Lord speaks, and when we listen, we will start doing God's will, instead of doing our own. Listen to Jesus as he comes in Communion.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Monday, January 19, 2015 Page 9 St. Mark Catholic Church Thank you to all who participated in Archbishop McCarthy High School's "Walk For Life" on Saturday. All donations to the Hollywood Respect Life Office enable our volunteers to assist moms through their pregnancy and for two years after the child is born, with whatever help she may need. This year some of the donations will go toward renovating the new, larger office that was donated to us last year. Knights of Columbus and groups from parishes throughout the diocese have been donating their "sweat equity" to help us, and we hope to be able to move in some time this summer. We are so anxious to be able to expand our counseling and parenting class services! On Thursday, January 22nd, we will mourn the 42nd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton Supreme Court Decisions which imposed legal abortion on demand throughout all 9 months of pregnancy across the nation. "Today, on this 42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we consider the past four decades in which our society has legally permitted abortion. Since that tragic decision, many children's lives have been lost, and many suffer that loss-often in silence. Yet God's greatest desire is to forgive. No matter how far we have each strayed from His side, He says to us: Don't be afraid. Draw close to My Heart." .... As Christians we are called to oppose the culture of death by witnessing to something greater and more perfect: A Gospel of life, hope and mercy." (US Catholic Bishops) If you know someone who has suffered from abortion, please assure that person that he or she is not alone; that all the riches of Christ's merciful and healing love are waiting to embrace her/him. Please go to www.hopeafterabortion.org or call1-888-456-HOPE or 954-981-2984 to reach Project Rachel, or Rachel's Vineyard. Both are ministries of the Catholic Church through which those who have been healed from abortion in Christ's Mercy, reach out to those still suffering. If you are pregnant and in need of help, please call the Hollywood Respect Life Office at 954-963-2229.
