Feast of the Baptism of the Lord: Today marks the end of the Christmas season. The stories of Jesus’ birth are over. Baptized by

John and filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus is now ready to proclaim the Good News. As the Son of God, He certainly did not need to be baptized, purified or given the life of God! Yet, He subjected Himself to baptism so that the world would come to know that “He is the Beloved of God.” You can’t get any better than that!

We are the baptized and therefore, we are the beloved of God. Like Jesus, we are to bow to the will of God, live beyond ourselves and share the Good News of Christ with others. Our Family of Parishes’ mission is to share with others the truth that “Jesus lives within us”, so that like Him, “we can change the world.” It should be clear to us in our Family of Parishes that the priests and the church staff can no longer carry the entire burden of teaching the Good News. It belongs to each of us – parents, grandparents, single, married, young or senior – we are to be missionary disciples of Christ. Working together, our parishes will be strong and our Family will thrive! Remember, we are “beloved” by God.

Jésus s’est soumis au baptême pour que le monde sache «qu’Il est le bien-aimé de Dieu». Il n’y a rien de mieux que cela! Il est maintenant prêt à proclamer la Bonne Nouvelle.

Nous sommes les baptisés et donc, nous sommes les bien-aimés de Dieu. Comme Jésus, nous devons nous plier à la volonté de Dieu, vivre au-delà de nous-mêmes et partager la Bonne Nouvelle du Christ avec les autres. Notre mission de la Famille de paroisses est de partager avec les autres la vérité que «Jésus vit en nous», afin que, comme lui, «nous puissions changer le monde». Les prêtres et le personnel de l’Église ne peuvent plus porter l'entière charge de l'enseignement de la Bonne Nouvelle. Il appartient à chacun de nous - parents, grands-parents, célibataires, mariés, jeunes ou moins jeunes – d’être des disciples missionnaires du Christ. En travaillant ensemble, nos paroisses seront fortes et notre famille prospérera! Rappelez-vous, nous sommes «aimés» par Dieu.

Update from the Pastor: As most of you are aware, I have celebrated some Masses during the Christmas season. It has been such a blessing for me to be with our Family of Parishes. I miss celebrating the Eucharist with all of you and have been so pleased to have had the opportunity to share the Word of God with you as well. My recovery from knee surgery is going well. If the progress continues, I hope to resume my responsibility as Pastor sometime in early February. Heartfelt thanks for the many prayers, cards and get well wishes received. Comme la plupart d'entre vous le savent, j'ai célébré quelques Messes pendant la saison de Noël. Ce fut une bénédiction pour moi d'être avec notre Famille de paroisses. Je manque de célébrer l'Eucharistie avec vous tous et j'ai été très heureux d'avoir également eu l'opportunité de partager la Parole de Dieu avec vous. Le rétablissement pour mon remplacement de genou se passe bien. Si le progrès continue, j'espère reprendre mes responsabilités de pasteur au début du mois de février. Merci du fond du cœur pour les nombreuses prières, cartes et bons vœux reçus.
