Coming live to a parish near you!
Some of us were taught that Mass attendance "counted" if we arrived for the gospel and stayed through Communion. Most churchgoers, thankfully, are weaned from this spartan idea to the liturgical celebration. In 2019, Pope Francis designated the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time as "Word of God Sunday." While every Mass includes a healthy serving of Bible readings, annually we're invited to reflect that this is "an experience which occurs ‘live’ and not through hearsay," as the pope says. “We gather precisely to listen to what God has done and still intends to do for us." Let's not miss a word of it!
THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME / SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD
TODAY'S READINGS: Isaiah 8:23—9:3; 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17; Matthew 4:12-23 (67). “The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shone.”
Sacred Heart 707 Sacred Heart Youth Ministry is hosting a Blanket Drive. We invite you to donate new or gently used blankets to Catholic Charities! There are bins in the back of the church where you can place the blankets now through January 22nd.
Epiphany is a feast of hope, nourished by what God has done and is doing in our midst.
This and all the feasts we celebrate here in community, are not mere “look-backs” to past events. Rather, today, we are reminded it is our mission to be, as Paul puts it, “stewards” of God’s grace.
How, in our daily lives then, can we be epiphanies of God’s broad and inclusive love for all people?
Every choice we make in line with God's desire for the world is like a mini incarnation, a little Christmas where God enters the world and touches it. That decision, if it contributes in some way to God's master project, makes God incarnate in a new way through us. Our flesh—and brain power and muscle movement, etc.—becomes a conduit for God's action in the world.
As Teresa of Avila said, "Christ has no body but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours."
Have you visited the Prayer Garden? You can ‘get outside’, walk more, pray more, enjoy nature, pause and reflect, avoid spending, stop and smell the roses, make a friend, read, go to church… so many resolutions met in one place!
❤️🙏🦋🕊️🌹
Amen 🙌🏼
Beautiful garden. Always enjoy it while visiting my family in Coronado.
Thank you, Tyler Buckley! ❤
SO VERY NICE. IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Hebrews 4:16
For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. John 1:16
But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.” James 4:6
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me.1 Corinthians 15:10
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people.
Titus 2:11
But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”
2 Corinthians 12:9
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Philippians 1:2
So true.
