The Bap�sm of the Lord�

FIRST READING (IS 55:1-11) Isaiah was called to be a prophet to bring jus�ce and freedom to those suffering, to be a “light for the na�ons.” How do see yourself serving others in need in your life?��SECOND READING (1 JN 5:1-9) John teaches his community that God Himself has “tes�fied on behalf of His Son.” In what way does this divine assurance help strengthen your faith? ��GOSPEL QUESTION (MK 1:7-11) The preaching of John the Bap�st and the bap�sm of Jesus is the opening scene in the Gospel of Mark. In Jesus’ bap�sm, the Father, Son, and Spirit were fully present. As a bap�zed Chris�an, can you think of a �me when you experienced God’s presence? �

REFLECT AND RESPOND The Baptism of the Lord

We need history. We need it in order to understand

ourselves, personally and collec�vely. The pieces of

our past may not have always been the most

posi�ve, honest, exemplary, dignified, proud and

best moments of our lives, but they are ours. We

have to acknowledge, remember, accept, and o5en

heal them. We cannot forget them or pretend that

they never existed. As horrible as the atroci�es of

events like Auschwitz, brutal injus�ces commi6ed

throughout the human journey, or personal painful experiences in our own stories, we

need to remember. These �mes when humanity in general or people in par�cular have lost

their way are �mes that need to be reconciled and redeemed.��

If we lose the memories, we will make the same mistakes again. The human soul needs a

strong sense of affirma�on, direc�on, and clear purpose. Without these essen�als, we will

easily run amuck and repeat the sins of our past. God’s voice throughout history has

spoken precisely about this! We are reminded through the voices and example of many

prophets and witnesses not to make the same mistakes again, come back to center,

discover the purpose given to us by God, maintain a sense of proper direc�on, seek healing

for wounds and be reconciled to our Creator.��

Bap�sm is so incredibly important for the salva�on of humankind, not only eternally but

here and now. Our existence depends upon it. It gives us the affirma�on we need from God

by gi5ing us with the same in�mate rela�onship Jesus had with the Father. We are blessed

with the direc�on and clear purpose we need in order to be produc�ve stewards and

faithful Chris�ans. Bap�sm calls us to remember, accept, and deal with the sins and

inequi�es of our past regardless of how hur;ul and serious. We consciously choose to turn

away from them and put on the new life of Christ. To do this well, we must look hard and

long at our sins and failings, listen to what they are saying and learn from them. If we

ignore the past, collec�vely or personally, or pretend that it never happened, we will never

grow. We will surely die.��

People need to hear the message, lived and spoken, delivered by the bap�zed members of

the Body of Christ. It is an essen�al message of hope that is layered with visions of jus�ce,

peace, reconcilia�on, redemp�on, blessing, and healing. It is a message that helps us

remember what has gone before, the graces and the sins, and bring ourselves by God’s

help where we need to be. We are called to do much more than sit home behind our

closed doors. We have a message to deliver. Are we ready to do so?�

QUESTION: Why do we hold hands during the Our Father? ��

ANSWER: The prac�ce of members of the assembly holding hands while praying the Lord’s Prayer during the Mass is a custom that developed organically in the 1970s and 1980s. While some commentators acknowledge that the prac�ce varies from place to place, it is a fairly universal reality in parishes across Con�nued on next page�>�

the United States. For some, this ac�on symbolizes the communion of Chris�ans praying together as one family of believers honoring the Father of All. Cri�cs of the prac�ce some�mes express concern that holding hands can be a distrac�on from the more significant unity that is experienced when we process to the altar to receive sacramental communion. ��

And so, we’re le5 to ask, what is the answer? ��

The General Instruc�on of the Roman Missal (the document that offers specific instruc�ons for the celebra�on of the Mass) is silent on the prac�ce, saying only that “all the faithful say the prayer” with the priest. The website of the US Bishops simply observes that “No posi�on is prescribed in the Roman Missal for an assembly gesture during the Lord’s Prayer.” And so, we’re le5 to discern within ourselves and within our parish and religious communi�es what is an authen�c gesture of praise during this important point of the Mass. For some, this means con�nuing to hold hands, while for others, this may mean adop�ng another posture of prayer. �

CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED Continued from Page 2

St. Hilary of Poi�ers was a fourth�century philosopher whose studies made him a champion of Orthodox Trinitarian theology during one of the most difficult periods of Church history. He protected the Church and its members by�brilliantly defending the sacred humanity of Jesus while also defea�ng Arianism which denied Christ's placement within the Trinity.� ��

Li6le is known about St. Hilary's life before he became a bishop. FiSngly, what historians do know about him derives mostly from

personal details contained within his extensive theological works. Historians do know that he was born in present�day France in 310 to a pagan family. Not unusual for his era, he rigorously studied both Greek philosophy and the Bible. Like many other early Church Fathers, he came to accept the truth of the Bible by recognizing its compa�bility with philosophy and the sciences. ��

It was not un�l 345 � a5er being married, and having a daughter � that Hilary commi6ed himself and was bap�zed along with the rest of his family. His rise within the Church, however, was not gradual at all: around 353, the people of Poi�ers called for him to be made their bishop. Hilary's elec�on as the Bishop of Poi�ers coincided with the second wave of the Church's first great doctrinal controversy, in which he would play a significant role. ��

Although the Council of Nicaea in 325 had confirmed the Church’s rejec�on of Arianism � which claimed Jesus was only human, not divine � powerful forces within both the Church and the empire clung to the heresy. ��

Hilary worked closely with groups of clergy and faithful whose formula�ons of dogma he perceived to be merely imperfect or imprecise, but not inten�onally here�cal, to support what was correct in their understanding and lead them into full adherence with tradi�on. ��

Only a few years a5er becoming bishop, Hilary found himself virtually alone in defending Jesus’ deity before a hos�le crowd of bishops in the southern French region of Gaul. The bishops appealed to Emperor Constan�us II, who favored a modified version of Arianism and declared Hilary’s exile from Gaul. Constan�us II did not likely suspect that by banishing Hilary to Phrygia he would inspire the bishop to mount an even greater defense of orthodox theology. There, he wrote his most important work, “On the Trinity,” showing the Bible’s consistent witness to the central mystery of Chris�an faith. ��

A5er the death of Constan�us II in 361, Hilary was able to return to his diocese at Poi�ers. St. Hilary died at Poi�ers in 367, a5er having passed on his teachings and way of life to a number of students, including St. Mar�n of Tours. St. Hilary was declared a�Doctor�of the Church in 1851. ��

Saint Hilary, instead of being discouraged by your exile, you used your��me�to study and write. Help us to bring�good�out of suffering and isola�on in our own lives and see adversity as an opportunity to learn about or share our faith.�Amen.�

NEW CHURCH HOURS Doors Locked Earlier

JANUARY IS THE MONTH OF THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS How do we Honor Jesus’ Name?

Did you know that in the Catholic Church, each

month of the�year has a devo�onal theme?

January is the month of the Holy Name of Jesus,

and it’s an ideal �me to strengthen our

connec�on to the beau�ful name of our Lord.

In fact, all names are to be treated with

respect. Do you know the meaning of your own

name? It’s interes�ng to discover. A name is an

emblem of one’s dignity but the name of Jesus

in�par�cular should be held in the highest regard; spoken and heard only in a sacred way. �

�

The name Jesus means “God saves”. By its meaning, the name Jesus states the purpose of

His existence, reminding us of the incredible blessing of salva�on. Let us therefore give that

name great honor! Jesus’s name in Aramaic is “Yeshua”. That is what Jesus was called in

His own na�ve language (the name Joshua is derived from this name, too). �

�

HERE ARE A FEW WAYS YOU CAN HONOR THE HOLY NAME OF JESUS: �

1)� Take a stand against taking the Lord’s name in vain. In repara�on for every �me

you take the Lord’s name in vain say the prayer of Sr. Marie of St. Peter,

“Admirable is the name of God.”�

2)� Bow your head when you hear the name of Jesus.�

3)� Decorate your home with the le6ers IHS, Christogram represen�ng the name of

Jesus.�

4)� A6end Mass or Eucharis�c Adora�on and focus on the words “hallowed be Thy

Name” from the Our Father prayer.�

5)� Write His name above your front door, “CMB”, (Christus mansionem benedicat)

meaning, may Christ bless this house.�

6)� Ask for Mary and Joseph’s intercession daily to increase your love and reverence

for their son, Jesus.�

7)� Pray a prayer of devo�on to the Holy Name of Jesus, like the Novena to St.

Bernardine of Siena, who had a special devo�on to the Holy Name of Jesus. This

novena and other devo�onal prayers can be found below. �

8)� Sing a song of praise like “At the Name of Jesus” or “What a Beau�ful Name” by

Hillsong Worship.�

NOVENA TO ST. BERNARDINE OF SIENA

Father, You gave Saint Bernardine a special love for the Holy Name of Jesus. By the help of

his prayers, may we always be alive with the spirit of Your love. We ask this through our

Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for

ever and ever. Amen. [Men�on your need(s) here...] �

Say 1�Our Father...�

Say 1�Hail Mary...�

Say 1�Glory Be...�

St. Bernardine of Siena, pray for us. [Repeat three �mes.]�

�

PRAYER OF ST. BERNARDINE OF SIENA

Jesus, Name full of glory, grace, love and strength! You are the refuge of those who repent,

our banner of warfare in this life, the medicine of souls, the comfort of those who mourn,

the delight of those who believe, the light of those who preach the true faith, the wages of

those who toil, the healing of the sick. To You our devo�on aspires; by You our prayers are

received; we delight in contempla�ng You. O Name of Jesus, You are the glory of all the

saints for eternity. Amen.�

�

THE GOLDEN ARROW PRAYER PRAYED IN REPARATION FOR BLASPHEMIES AGAINST HIS MOST HOLY NAME

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable, most incomprehensible and unu6erable

Name of God�be always praised, blessed, loved, adored�and glorified in Heaven, on earth,

and under the earth, by all the creatures of God, and by the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus

Christ, in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Altar. Amen. �

HEALING CHAIR PROGRAM

The Gretna Knights of Columbus have purchased two powerli5 recliners that are offered to any member of St. Patrick parish or our local community on a temporary basis.

The Knights will provide and deliver the reclining li5 chair to the home of the person in need and pick it up when the lending period expires, at no cost to the user. The Knights also have a ba6ery powered wheelchair that was recently donated. This too is available for any member of St. Patrick parish or our local community on a temporary basis. Please contact a member of the Gretna Knights of Columbus Council #10047 or John Schaffert, 402�672�7903, if you or someone you know has a need for one of these devices.��

�THE�

KNIGHT’S�

CORNER�

Mary’s open heart and courageous “yes” to God shows us how to live year�round�with hearts open to the Lord, following where He leads. We are called to place our trust in Him, to enter compassionately into the suffering of others, and to love one another as Christ loves us. Like Our Blessed Mother welcomed Jesus, we are called to cherish and protect the gi5 of human life, at every stage and in every circumstance. ��

One way to follow Our Lady’s example is to join 9 Days for Life, a novena for the protec�on of human life, taking place Thursday, January 21 � Friday, January 29. Each day's inten�on is accompanied by a short reflec�on and suggested ac�ons to help build a culture of life. ��

Join today to receive an email or text each day during the nine day novena at 9daysforlife.com!��

The loss of a child can form a hole in their heart so deep that some�mes it seems nothing can fill the emp�ness. As a human and Chris�an family, we grieve the loss of so many lives. And yet, even in our grief, we know there is hope. ��

If you or someone you know is suffering a5er abor�on, confiden�al, compassionate help is available. You can find out more informa�on about the Church’s ministry for healing a5er abor�on by visi�ng hopea5erabor�on.com or rachelsvineyard.org.�

9 DAYS FOR LIFE NOVENA January 21-29

We know that we need bap�sm for our salva�on, to cleanse us of original sin, and allow us entrance into the Kingdom of God. It is by our bap�sm that we become daughters and sons of God that we truly become Chris�ans. But why did Jesus need to be bap�zed? He is fully God and was so at the �me of His birth, so Jesus didn’t have original sin from nor did He need acceptance into Heaven. ��

In Ma6hew’s account of the bap�sm of Jesus we read, “John tried to prevent him, saying, ’I need to be bap�zed by you, and yet you are coming to

me?’ Jesus said to him in reply, ‘Allow it now, for thus it is fiSng for us to fulfill all righteousness.’ Then he allowed him,” Ma6hew 3:14. Thus Jesus came to fulfill all righteousness, to make bap�sm holy for us. John had been bap�zing for the forgiveness of sins with water, but Jesus bap�zed with the Holy Spirit for the salva�on of our souls.��

We read John the Bap�st’s tes�mony to Jesus a5er Christ’s own bap�sm in the Gospel of John. “I did not know him,�but the reason why I came bap�zing with water was that he might be made known to Israel,” John 1:31. Thus Jesus was bap�zed in order to be known by us, that we might recognize Him as the Son of God. ��

Jesus' public life begins with his bap�sm. We don’t hear about Jesus performing miracles or preaching un�l a5er He has first been revealed to us as the Son of God by the voice of the Holy Spirit during His bap�sm in the river Jordan.��

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we gather a broader understanding of this great mystery. We see foreshadowing to Jesus’ death by His bap�sm. “...He allows himself to be numbered among sinners; he is already "the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world".�Already he is an�cipa�ng the "bap�sm" of his bloody death.�Already he is coming to "fulfill all righteousness", that is, he is submiSng himself en�rely to his Father's will: out of love he consents to this bap�sm of death for the remission of our sins…Jesus will be the source of the Spirit for all mankind. At his bap�sm "the heavens were opened"�� the heavens that Adam's sin had closed � and the waters were sanc�fied by the descent of Jesus and the Spirit, a prelude to the new crea�on.” CCC 536.�

Prayer is the way in which we communicate with God. It is both the act of talking to and listening to our Lord. Prayer is not meant to be a last resort when things aren’t going our way, but a first response when we recognize that God’s plan is greater than our own.��

We were never intended to carry our ‘crosses’ on our own. Not only did Jesus teach us to surrender our burdens to Him, we were also blessed with countless people in our lives to walk with us, who will guide us to Christ. Communal prayer is a beau�ful way to strengthen us as the Body of Christ. You too can strengthen the Body of Christ by joining the team of commi6ed prayer warriors here at St. Patrick. To join the prayer line prayer warriors contact Corliss Lovstad.��

To submit a prayer request through the St. Patrick website go to: h6ps://stpatricksgretna.org/mesmerize/about�us/contact�us/prayer�request/.�On the online prayer request form, you can choose how you approve of your prayer request to be shared so our community may unite in prayer with you. Your op�ons are to share with our commi6ed prayer warriors directly, and/or put it in the bulle�n (as seen in the le5�hand column), or do not share. You can also call Corliss Lovstad, the head of the prayer line directly at 402�968�5877 or email your prayer requests to her at [email protected].�

INDULGENCES DURING THE YEAR OF ST. JOSEPH�

On December 8, the 150th anniversary of the declara�on of Saint Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church, Pope Francis proclaimed a Year of Saint Joseph from December 8, 2020 to December 8, 2021.��

A plenary indulgence will be granted to Catholics who recite any approved prayer or act of piety in honor of St. Joseph, especially on March 19, the saint’s solemnity, and May 1, the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Other notable days for the plenary indulgence are the Feast of the Holy Family on December 29, as well as the 19th of each month and every Wednesday, a day dedicated to the saint in the La�n tradi�on. But what exactly is a plenary indulgence? And how does one receive one?��

“An indulgence is a remission before God of the temporal punishment due to sins whose guilt has already been forgiven, which the faithful Chris�an who is duly disposed gains under certain prescribed condi�ons through the ac�on of the Church which, as the minister of redemp�on, dispenses and applies with authority the treasury of the sa�sfac�ons of Christ and the saints.” (CCC 1471)��

To receive an indulgence, one must receive Sacramental Confession, Eucharis�c Communion and pray for the inten�ons of the Holy Father (a Our Father and Hail Mary are encouraged.) One Sacramental Confession (about 20 days before or a5er the indulgenced act) suffices for several plenary indulgences, but a separate Holy Communion and a separate prayer for the Holy Father's inten�ons are required for each plenary indulgence. Only one indulgence can be earned per day.��

Indulgences can always be applied either to oneself or to the souls of the deceased, but they cannot be applied to other persons living on earth.��

There are par�cular devo�ons to Saint Joseph that will help you earn the special indulgences this year. They include:��

1) Medita�ng on the Our Father for at least half an hour�

2) Doing corporal or spiritual works of mercy�

3) Praying the Holy Rosary as a family or engaged couples�

4) Invoking the intercession of St. Joseph the Worker (or Cra5sman), especially on his feast day May 1. �

5) Reci�ng the Litany of St. Joseph or other approved prayers to St. Joseph�

6) Reci�ng prayers to St. Joseph on his feast days, March 19 and May 1, the feast of the Holy Family, December 27, on the 19th of each month, or on every Wednesday, the day dedicated to St. Joseph�

7) Doing a Consecra�on to St. Joseph��

You can find Father Calloway’s book Consecra�on to St. Joseph to make your consecra�on to St. Joseph, at h6ps://www.consecra�ontostjoseph.org/. If you haven’t read the book already, it is a great read and highly recommended during the Year of St. Joseph. To go along with each day of the reading, Father Calloway posted a video on YouTube, h6ps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGuKAgK4jrKSnBfJnLhKW_Q/videos, where he goes into more detail about each �tle for Saint. Joseph and his inspira�on in wri�ng this book.��

In addi�on, Father Calloway has been pos�ng daily on his Facebook page, h6ps://www.facebook.com/consecra�ontostjoseph, li6le �dbits about this great Saint.��

These are just a few ways to remember and honor the great Saint Joseph throughout this year. Be sure to keep an eye out for other prayers to Saint Joseph included in the bulle�n in the weeks to come. We are also working to include these and other links to more informa�on on the Year of Saint Joseph, how to honor him, and how to receive special indulgences this year. More informa�on about that will follow.��

PRAYER TO ST. JOSEPH�

Glorious Patriarch St. Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come to my aid in these �mes of anguish and difficulty. Take under your protec�on the serious and troubling situa�ons that I commend to you, that they may have a happy outcome. My beloved father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said that I invoked you in vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great as your power. Amen. �

Please consider

spending just one

hour each month

adoring Jesus Christ

during our Exposi�on

of�the Blessed

Sacrament. Jesus asks

Peter the ques�on,

“Could you not spend

one hour with me?”

Exposi�on begins on the second Thursday of the

month, January 14, at 7:30 AM and concludes in

the evening before the start of Mass (reposi�on at

5:45 PM).�This is your opportunity to spend

personal �me with Jesus.� He is here and lovingly

wai�ng for you to come. The blessings are eternal.

Upon declaring it a Year of St. Joseph, Pope Francis also wrote an Apostolic Le6er, Patris Corde. In the end notes of this le6er, Pope Francis said, “Every day, for over forty years, following Lauds (Morning Prayer) I have recited a prayer to Saint Joseph taken from a nineteenth�century French prayer book of the Congrega�on of the Sisters of Jesus and Mary. It expresses devo�on and trust, and even poses a certain challenge to Saint Joseph: ‘Glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come to my aid in these �mes of anguish and difficulty. Take under your protec�on the serious and troubling situa�ons that I commend to you, that they may have a happy outcome. My beloved father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said that I invoked you in vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great as your power. Amen.’”��

Pope Francis ended Patris Corde with the prayer below. To read all of this beau�fully wri6en le6er go to h6p://www.va�can.va/content/francesco/en/apost_le6ers/documents/papa�francesco�le6era�ap_20201208_patris�corde.html. ��

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.�To you God entrusted his only Son; in you Mary placed her trust;�

with you Christ became man.�Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father and guide us in the path of life.�Obtain for us grace, mercy, and courage, and defend us from every evil.� Amen.�

Jeff Cavins. Tune in and live your daily life through the lens of God’s word! By reading the Bible this way, you will be able to clearly see how everything fits together. ��

While this podcast will indeed go through every word of the Bible in 365 days, feel free to go at your own pace. You can do one episode a day, or a few per week. The podcast will be there for you, on every major podcas�ng pla;orm as well as Ascension’s own website.��

SEMINARY COLLECTION This Weekend

This weekend, January 9�10, we will have a special seminary collec�on. The seminary collec�on, along with other gi5s to the seminary fund, enables the Archdiocese of Omaha to cover educa�onal costs and pay s�pends for living expenses for its students in major and minor seminaries. A year’s seminary educa�on averages nearly $40,000.� The Archdiocese of Omaha doesn’t require seminarians to repay their costs if they fail to complete their studies all the way to ordina�on, unlike some Catholic dioceses. Thank you for your generosity!�

Are you �red of making the same New Year’s resolu�on every year? Maybe you are looking for a New Year’s resolu�on that will truly make a difference. Prayerfully consider a renewed commitment to your faith and church community by signing up for the upcoming Christ Renews His Parish (CRHP) retreat.�Through CRHP, the Holy Spirit will begin to work within you and s�r your longing to awaken your prayer life and love for your faith. Embrace this year as the beginning of a journey to a deeper rela�onship with Jesus.�
