Letters from a Pastor to His People January 10, 2021
Dear Parishioners,
Christs baptism in the Jordan was a significant event in his life. One could even make the argument it was lifechanging. (As I write, I can almost see the seminarians getting out their red pens and licking their chops to circle the heresies in this letter...settle down, boys.)
Christs baptism was deeply touching for him. It can be too for us. Remember, as Columba Marmion says, Christs mysteries are our mysteries.

Weekly Gospel Readings January 10, 2021
The readings for today are all connected with the Baptism of Jesus. The First Reading is from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah. This reading is the first of four of Isaiahs four Suffering Servant songs. This first poem introduces the Messiah as the one who pleases God. He will work tirelessly for the dawning of justice and will not be discouraged.

Tassel of the Cloak
The staircase is the featured part of a house during the holidays. Children run down the stairs with anticipation Christmas morning and in the days after to see their gifts. Adults walk down with satisfaction to have their coffee and see their family members. A stairwell leads us down to the splendor.

Reflections from Our Seminarian Christian
For many people, Christmas time is filled with happiness. However, some experience sadness when remembering the loved ones who departed from this world. How do we understand grief as Catholics?
The Catechism of the Catholic Church ([CCC] par. 1021) states that Death puts an end to human life, allowing the beginning of the eternal life (heaven, purgatory, or hell). We are told that the Church commends the dead to Gods mercy and offers her prayers, especially the Eucharist (CCC, par. 1055). By doing this, the militant church (those living on earth) and the triumphant church (saints, souls in heaven) pray together for those who are purifying their souls in purgatory. Therefore, we are called to pray for the repose of our loved ones.

Did you know that the Invest in Kids Act helps children from low income households in Illinois access scholarships that cover up to 100 percent of a Catholic schools tuition? Thousands of students are gaining knowledge and building on their faith in Archdiocese of Chicago Catholic Schools thanks to this program.

Our next book for discussion on January 30 @ 915am will be Come Rack! Come Rope! by Robert Hugh Benson. This book is the most vivid and gripping novel ever written about how the Reformation happened. In this book, the appalling events come to life. This novel tells of the struggles and sufferings of Catholic Recusants under Queen Elizabeth I of England. One such Recusant, Robin Audrey, is shocked to learn his father has decided to leave the Catholic Church for the safety of the Church of England.
