Dear Friends, Last week priests of the diocese were to be in New Orleans for the annual Priest Formation Days; however, this year, like last year, it was cancelled due to COVID concerns. We propose, and fate disposes…. Also, our plans to hold one First Reconciliation service was changed to smaller groups for the same concern. Pivoting is the new ballet art. Last weekend, we welcomed into the order of the Catechumenate five persons: † Joshua Dibble † Allanie Dibble † Jackson Cope † Joseph DePrato † Kealin Smith and one person as a Candidate for Full Initiation, † Fabiana Montenegro Please pray for them as they move through the process of initiation. Next Monday, January 24th, Mr. Alex Landry will be honored as St Jean Vianney Distinguished graduate. He is the son of David and Michelle Landry and is currently in Pre Med at Vanderbilt University. Our Elementary School provides strong foundations for any career path. Please pray for the sick of the parish; and for our parish to remain open to the Holy Spirit’s invita-tion to financial stewardship. Stay safe and have good week. Love,

GOD’S LAW Scripture has always held God’s law to be the path to human happiness. In today’s first reading, Ezra the priest reads the scroll of the law to the people returned from exile. They weep—then are joyful. Israel’s relationship with God had always been defined by how they kept and lived God’s law. The author of Psalm 96 likewise praises the law of God as the source of wisdom, joy and enlightenment, purity and justice. In his advice to the bickering Corinthians, Paul points out that, just as God has made all parts of a human body essential for the health of the whole, living as “Christ’s body” requires that each member be recognized as necessary for the good of all. Finally, in Luke’s Gospel Jesus claims that the Spirit is sending him to relieve human suffering. Like Ezra, he is reading from a scroll, proclaiming God’s “law” of mercy to those in need.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

CCDBR Offers Family and Individual Counseling Although many people look forward to the holidays and this time of year, some people struggle with seasonal depression and anxiety. Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Baton Rouge can help. We provide high-quality, professional counseling offered by licensed clinical social workers. Fees are based on a sliding scale or health insurance copay. Virtual appointments are also available. Visit Catholic CharitiesBR.org to learn more.

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time – Luke 1:1-4; 4:14-21 Jesus invites us to share in his ministry. He has anointed us and sent us to “proclaim liberty to captives, give sight to the blind, free the oppressed and proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.” This is our call no matter who we are. Jesus empowers us to heal and to preach His Word. We may not have the ability to “free” every captive. However, if we love one another unconditionally, our love and care may “free” a person of their loneliness or des-pair. We are not Jesus, but Jesus has commissioned us to be his disciples on this earth. As his disciples, we are called to share the good news and help anyone who is in need.

Cards are being collected for our incarcerated brothers and sisters. Please drop off cards at the church collection basket or parish office. When you write a letter to a person in prison, it is more than just words written on a piece of paper. Those words have the power to breathe life and hope into their hearts. Your card can: Lift their spirits when they are feeling lonely.

Many hold on to their letters for years and return to them as a source of hope and comfort.

Encourage: Simple words of affirmation and encouragement go a long way in a place that is full of discouragement.

Inmates like to know that someone on the outside thought of them and prayed for them. Incarceration is tough. Loving people, willing to pray and speak life is so important.
