“Holy Waiting . . . In a World that Can’t Wait”
During our retreat, you will explore and reflect on the spiritual discipline of Holy Waiting.
You will discover that it is not
passive waiting or killing time.
With God, waiting is never
wasted time. Holy Waiting is
the condition of high expectation, an attitude of life infused
with hope, a conviction that
calls us to live in the present
moment, alert and attentive to the stirring of the Holy Spirit.
Requested donation: $215.00* per person, $50.00 nonrefundable deposit secures your registration.
Visa/MC or check accepted
*Remember . . . No one is ever turned away. Please
come! Join us for a silent retreat. Take a weekend away
from everyday activities and strengthen your connection
with God.

WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH
Today’s Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and following Jesus sounds so simple and casual, it’s
easy to miss the significant acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there is the Lamb of God.” John’s faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that John’s disciples immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to
spread the good news of their discovery: “We have found the Messiah.”
It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally
come. Nearly everyone among the Jewish people was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our own society watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah today?

GOD’S WORD TODAY
“Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.” This refrain from today’s responsorial psalm is a fitting mantra for all believers as Ordinary Time opens before us. The first reading recounts the story of Samuel, who is told by Eli to
respond to the Lord’s call with the words “Speak, LORD, for your servant is
listening.” The Gospel passage today recounts the call of the first disciples,
who declare that they have found the Messiah. This wonderful set of scripture
readings reminds us to stand ready to listen to the call of the Lord Jesus. As
these words are proclaimed today, let us make the words of the psalmist our
own and declare that we are open once again to the invitation to become more
dedicated disciples of the Lord.

MAKE A NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION!!!
January is here and, as always, I ponder a New Year’s resolution. I reflect over the previous year to consider what changes I should make. What is it God is asking of me this year? As I contemplated, I was struck
with how God even uses the every day events of creation to guide and encourage us.
As an example, my husband shared the following reflection of how God manifests His love and gently
teaches us through His creation.
“Each morning I sit on the end of my couch to begin my day in prayer and I spot the Mockingbird
which mounts her outpost on the upper branches of my neighbor’s tall rubber tree. From this high point
she surveys her day.
In sunshine, in fog, in blustery wind and soaking rain, she is perched on her outpost until it is time to
start her day.
Faithful and persistent is she in living out God’s purpose in her Mockingbird life. What then, God,
is your purpose for my life? Do I have the faithfulness and persistence of this little bird regardless of the
winds, weather and storms of my life, to see and live out your purpose in me?”
I challenge you to consider God’s purpose for you in this New Year. Is He inviting you to be more faithful
in your Christian walk? Perhaps He is asking for faithfulness in a ministry and in prayer. Is he asking you
to persist in completing your sacraments toward being a fully initiated Catholic?
If you have questions about the Catholic faith or the Sacraments please contact

EN BÚSQUEDA DEL MESÍAS
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El relato del Evangelio de hoy en el que Juan y sus
discípulos ven y siguen a Jesús, suena tan sencillo e informal, que fácilmente pasan desapercibidos los importantes
actos de fe que ocurren.
Juan señala a Jesús: “Miren”, les dice, “este es el Cordero de Dios”. La fe de Juan en Jesús es evidente, tan evidente que los discípulos de Juan inmediatamente se van de
su lado y siguen a Jesús.
Los dos discípulos a su vez hacen un acto de fe. Ellos
siguen a Jesús, pasan tiempo con él, y no demoran en
compartir la buena nueva de su descubrimiento: “Hemos
encontrado al Mesías”.
Es fácil olvidar que las expectativas de generaciones,
las esperanzas de muchos siglos de fieles se estaban cumpliendo en estos sencillos actos de fe. El Cordero de Dios,
el Mesías, anunciado por los profetas, finalmente había
llegado. Prácticamente todo el mundo en el pueblo judío
estaba a la búsqueda del Mesías en esa época; ¿quién de
nuestra sociedad busca señales de la presencia del Mesías
hoy día?
Uno de los muchos títulos dados a Jesús en los
evangelios es el de Agnus Dei (Cordero de Dios).
La imagen de un cordero no era extraña en la Palestina del primer siglo cristiano, pues se encontraban ovejas y pastores por todas partes. El cordero
es la oveja de menos de un año. Es reconocido como símbolo de mansedumbre e inocencia en muchas culturas.
Fue Juan Bautista quien le dio ese extraño título a Jesús (Juan 1:36). La imágen del cordero despertaba en los judíos, incluidos Jesús, Juan Bautista
y los discípulos, la memoria de los célebres eventos del Éxodo. Cada año las familias judías escogían un corderito y lo preparaban para sacrificarlo
en la Pascua. La mitad de la carne del sacrificio se
ofrecía a Dios y la otra mitad se la comía la familia, de esta manera establecían una comunión con
Dios. Designar a Jesús como Agnus Dei, era reconocer que él quitaría el pecado y que con su propia
carne establecería una comunión entre Dios y la
humanidad.

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
“Aquí estoy, Señor, para hacer tu voluntad”. Esta respuesta al
salmo responsorial de hoy es un mantra muy apropiado para
todos los creyentes al tener ante nosotros el comienzo del
tiempo ordinario. La primera lectura relata la historia de
Samuel a quien Elí le dice que cuando el Señor lo llame
responda con las palabras, “Habla, Señor, tu siervo te
escucha”. El pasaje del Evangelio de hoy recuenta el llamado
de los primeros discípulos, quienes declararon que habían
encontrado al Mesías. Este maravilloso grupo de lecturas de
la Escritura nos recuerda que debemos estar dispuestos a
escuchar el llamado del Señor Jesús. Cuando estas palabras
sean proclamadas hoy, hagamos nuestras las palabras del
salmista y declaremos una vez más que estamos dispuestos a
aceptar la invitación a ser más entregados como discípulos
del Señor.
