Feast of the Baptism of the Lord
Fittingly, this Jubilee Year of Mercy is also the Lectionary’s Year of Luke, for Luke’s Gospel highlights God’s
mercy in finding the lost, healing the sick, restoring the broken, comforting the sorrowful, forgiving the sinner through
Jesus’ ministry. But before doing, Luke’s Jesus is always
praying. As practical moderns programmed to measure
worth by productivity, we instinctively appreciate the Jubilee’s call to embrace the practical challenges of our baptism.
But today Luke focuses not on Jesus being baptized, but on
Jesus praying after baptism. So must we pray to become the
disciples we are called to be, that the Spirit empower us to
do what disciples are called to do. Imitating Jesus’ openness to the Spirit will enable us to cooperate with the grace
that transforms us into “beloved sons [and daughters] . . . in
whom the Father is well pleased,” living out, in this Jubilee
Year of Mercy, the extraordinary potential of our baptism.
--Peter Scagnelli, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. Inc.
QUESTION OF THE WEEK
Adult: What are some of the ways in which you have been
comforted by God’s merciful compassion?
Youth: Reflect on how God and others comfort you in life. How
can you share this comfort and mercy with others?
NEXT SUNDAY’S READINGS
First Reading -- As a bridegroom rejoices in his bride, so
God rejoices in the chosen Zion and Jerusalem
(Isaiah 62:1-5).
Psalm -- Proclaim his marvelous deeds to all the nations

Second Reading -- All the varied gifts and talents found in the
Christian community are products of the same Spirit

into wine at his mother’s request (John 2:1-11).

University Series - Lent 2016
During the season of Lent, The University Series™ offers more than 100
seminars connecting faith with real life in areas such as current events, contemporary moral issues, evangelization, faith and science, marriage and
family, church history, scripture, prayer, and other priorities set by the Los
Angeles Archdiocesan Synod.
Sessions include multi-media presentations and always allow
time for your questions.
The 2016 season will run February 11 to March 18 at 12 parishes that span
the border of Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Our faculty have extensive knowledge in their fields and love to teach. They
include international authorities, priests, religious, professors, authors, lay
people, and local favorites who are all passionate about helping students
grow in knowledge and faith.
A small tuition ($5 during pre-registration or $8 at the door) allows each
student to bring a guest for free. A Season Pass for all classes is available
only during pre-registration for $85 (a $208 value!) and includes your
guest. Remember: these special discounts end when pre-registration closes.
Pre-registration is open 5:00 p.m. January 9- January 24.
To pre-register for one or more classes, just go to the course listings and select the ones you want. The University Series strives for excellence because
our Catholic faith deserves our very best efforts.

Be wary of online friendships.
Today’s teens may seem to be always online, with constant messaging and sharing on social media with a large audience.
The internet is a great place to meet people, but these meetings come with potential dangers that can put kids and teens
at risk. You don’t know who you’re really talking to online. Pay attention to the sites your kids on computers and mobile
devices. Monitor the sites that they visit and ask questions about who they talk to and what information they provide to
their online friends. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Preventing Teen Victimization On- and Offline,”
