JUBILEE OF MERCY
Baptism Starts Things Off
After His baptism in the Jordon, Jesus became very public. So, too, for each us. We are saved, surely, in b
baptism, but we are also sent. The clarity we have today is that we are sent to be missionary disciples –
sent to proclaim mercy, sent to be justice. Sent. Maybe sent to my family or neighborhood, maybe sent to
where I work, maybe sent to my school, maybe sent to....
• How will I behave this week as one who is both saved and sent?
A LETTER FROM THE PASTOR
My dear brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ,
A continued blessed Christmastide and Happy New Year of 2016 to one and all!
Today we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord, the official liturgical end of the Christmas season. In the preVatican II calendar this feast was always on January 13, the octave day of the Epiphany which was always celebrated on the
twelfth day of Christmas, January 6. Thus, this feast is rightfully celebrated as a second Epiphany, a second
“manifestation.” In fact, in the Eastern Church this feast is called the Theophany because God appears in three persons –
Jesus the Son is baptized as the Holy Spirit descends upon Him as the Father declares, “You are my beloved Son; with You I
am well pleased.”
Today is an appropriate day to recall our own baptism. How many of us even remember the day of our baptism or
commemorate it each year? It should be “right up there” with birthdays and anniversaries. My baptism was on Sunday,
February 11, 1962 in what was the baptistery, and is now a closet, at Our Lady of Lourdes School on the west side of
Cincinnati! Christ’s baptism represents in many ways what occurred at our own baptisms. At Christ’s baptism the Holy
Spirit descended upon Him and at our baptism the Trinity occupies our being – we become children of God, brothers and
sisters of the Lord Jesus and dwelling places of the Holy Spirit. Christ was declared the beloved Son and at our baptisms
we, too, become beloved of God. At Jesus’ baptism the heavens were opened, and at our baptisms heaven was opened to us.
So what does it mean to be baptized? It is a call to live and love on this earth, a call to seek holiness, a call to actively be
disciples of Christ.
And one way we can live our baptismal call is to be more purposefully and intimately connected to Sacred Scripture. Thus,
the 1% Challenge! As I stated in my homily, the Word of God is unchanging and transforming – and every time we read
Sacred Scripture and we bring our lived experiences to it, God’s Word has something unique and important to say to us.
God’s Word is our nourishment when we hunger, our opportunities when perplexed, our solace when challenged and our joy
when thankful! In God’s Word we constantly find our strength! Be fed! Be led! Withstand and be glad! Take the
challenge!
That’s all for now – God bless one and all!

2016 CATHOLIC MINISTRIES APPEAL (CMA)
Next weekend, the 2016 Catholic Ministries Appeal will kick off throughout the archdiocese. The CMA is our opportunity
each year to support the work of six vital ministries and their many programs, all of which operate right here in our
archdiocese. Also, if we exceed our parish goal for the CMA, 50% of our overage comes back to the parish to be used
toward parish outreach ministries. Please prayerfully consider supporting this year’s CMA. For more information, please

OUTREACH
CHRIST CARING FOR PEOPLE THROUGH PEOPLE
That’s the motto of Stephen Ministry. The Stephen Minister’s role is to bring God’s love into the lives
of people who are going through a difficult time or experiencing a crisis. What do Stephen Ministers
do? They listen, care, support, encourage, and pray with and for a person who is hurting. And in the
midst of this confidential, one-to-one, caring relationship, God’s healing love comes pouring through.
If someone you know is facing a crisis—large or small—and could benefit from the caring presence of a
Stephen Minister, tell them about Stephen Ministry and suggest they call Holly Moran, 513-777-4322 or
e-mail stephenministry@saint-max.org. It’s a great way for you to show how much you care!
ROSARY FOR LIFE
Join others from St. Max and other parishes in praying the rosary in front of the abortion clinic in Sharonville at 11250

clinic is closed on Saturdays and this is a good opportunity to be a witness to the gospel of life and pray for the unborn and
the closing of the abortion clinic. For more information, contact Mary Jo Suer at respectlife@saint-max.org.

SISTERS IN FAITH
Women’s adult faith idea for this week – make time for a 20 minute walk and pray a rosary. Ten fingers
make it easy to walk and count Rosary prayers. Don’t worry about the beginning or the ending if you are
unfamiliar with those prayers. Tell our Lord your intentions and start right in with an Our Father followed
by 10 Hail Mary’s, repeat 4 more times!
A Marriage Moment
I'm very neat. My wife is messy. I cured myself from my annoyance with her by imagining that she had died and then asked
myself, "If you could bring her back to life but she'd still be messy, would you still want her back? “Yes, for sure!” It cured
me. Whenever I get annoyed with her mess, I rerun the script. (Sam Bradley) This could work with many annoyances.
