Saints and Special Observances Sunday: Monday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday:
The Baptism of the Lord First Week in Ordinary Time begins St. Anthony Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins Blessed Virgin Mary
Scripture Reflection For many weeks now, we have been celebrating the appearance of the divine presence in human form. As a child, he came to Mary and Joseph, was seen by the shepherds, and then by some wandering magi from the East. Today we celebrate another showing, later in time, to a group gathered at the Jordan River. John hesitated to baptize Jesus, whom he recognized as “one mightier than I.” But he did as Jesus asked, and the “Holy Spirit descended” and heaven’s voice spoke to Jesus, “You are my beloved Son.” Jesus was beginning his public life of teaching and service. Soon he would start calling others to join him. Peter was one of the first to be called by Jesus. In today’s second reading, he announces the heart of the message, “peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.” Peter was called, and you and I are called to spread that message and to serve God’s word.
Archdiocesan Family Prayer Loving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today against violence, murder and racism. We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the life and dignity of all people. Bless parents that they may form their children in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost loved ones through violence. Hear our prayer and give us the perseverance to be a voice for life and human dignity in our community. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help us. Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we may be a holy family. Amen.

Prayer for Vocations Hail Mary, full of grace; all generations call you blessed. Hail Mother of God; when asked by the angel to bear the Son of the Most High, filled with faith, you responded: “Let it be done unto me.” Holy Mother of Jesus, at the wedding feast at Cana, you prompted your Son to perform his first sign. Be with us as we discern our life’s work and guide us in the way we are called to follow in the footsteps of your Son. Holy Mother of the Savior, at the foot of the cross you mourned the death of your only Son. Bless and embrace the loving parents of all priests, deacons, brothers, and sisters. Holy Mother of the Good Shepherd, turn your motherly care to this nation. Intercede for us to the Lord of the harvest to send more laborers to the harvest in this land dedicated to your honor. Queen of Peace, Mirror of Justice, Health of the Sick, inspire vocations in our time. Let the word of your Son be made flesh anew in the lives of persons anxious to proclaim the good news of everlasting life. Amen.

Performances of Garden: January 17, 19, & 20
Journey of the Baptized Retreat: January 25-27
Garden, an original musical play written by Joey Martineck, featuring the music of Greg & Lizzy and produced by Dumb Ox Ministries, will be performed on Thursday, January 17, and Saturday, January 19, 7 pm; and Sunday, January 20, 2 pm, at Ursuline Academy, 2635 State Street, New Orleans. Denny Charbonnet is director. Garden is a full-stage retelling of the story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, adapted from the book of Genesis, inspired by the writings of St. John Paul II. The play features a dialogue that balances humor and drama with a plot that is creatively surprising while being dynamically familiar. Themes of authentic love, relationship, and struggle inspire the audience with the truth of what it means to be human. Garden invites us to revisit what it means to be created from love, consider our need for God's mercy, and answer the call to live in true freedom. Visit dumboxministries.com for tickets.
