STEWARDSHIP In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him. May we, too, be listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say like the psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.” Offerings for the Baptism of the Lord: $ 5,130.61 Number of envelopes used: 119 Parish Education Fund: On the first Sunday of each month a second collection is taken for Tuition Assistance at our Academy. Next Weekend: Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 25, 2015 The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel. - Mark 1:15 JANUARY 18, 2015 SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME - (YEAR B) From the Pastor Second Sunday in Ordinary Time PAGE 3 Please welcome: Father Ben Awongo who is in residence here at St. Charles Borromeo while Father Chris is away on a family matter. YOUR SERVANT IS LISTENING In today’s first reading, Samuel hears the Lord’s voice, but mistakes it for Eli’s. Fortunately, Eli is familiar enough with the ways of the Lord to help Samuel make his response. As we seek the Lord, it is good to have someone like Eli who is familiar with the Lord’s voice. There are many voices that bid us “Follow this way,” and the Lord’s call is not always easy to discern. There are people, too, who would pretend to know the Lord and draw others to themselves rather than to God. Eli could have taken advantage of Samuel’s naïveté and claimed it was he who had summoned Samuel. But Eli claims neither to be God nor to speak for God. Instead, he encourages Samuel to listen for himself. “JUST FOR FUN WEDNESDAY” (Notice: Third Week of January) Wednesday, January 21! 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM in the Parish Center Pot-luck Lunch and Games! What to bring: A-F Main Dish G-P Dessert Q-Z Salad Everything else provided. Questions? Colleen O’Connor 619-222-6244 WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING FOR? Perhaps the most profound line in all of today’s readings is Jesus’ question of the two disciples who begin to follow him. “What are you looking for?” he asks plainly and directly. Finding the Messiah was partly a matter of what one was looking for. If one lived with the expectation of the Messiah’s coming, there would be a certain alertness, a certain watchfulness to life, and a certain openness to God’s movements. The two disciples had followed John the Baptizer, but as soon as John pointed to Jesus, they were ready to follow him. It has been said that what we find in life is pretty much what we have sought. “What are you looking for?” is a challenging question for each of us to ask of ourselves. Our honest answer to this question can reveal much about our faith and our values. Those who, like Andrew and the other disciple, are looking for the Messiah will find the Messiah, dwelling now, as then, among the people. “Come and see!” Summit LifeTeen/Edge (High School/Jr. High) Summit LIFE TEEN (High School) Join us for games/worship/fellowship and a message.
