BATISMO DO SENHOR
Celebramos hoje, a festa do Batismo do Senhor. Nas águas do Jordão o Senhor Jesus é confirmado pelo Pai como Filho Bem Amado – o Cordeiro de Deus que veio para nossa salvação. Neste dia Jesus revelou para nós o seu compromisso de realizar a missão que o Pai lhe confiou, como Filho amado e fiel. Fazendo memória do batismo do Senhor renovamos o nosso compromisso batismal, que nos torna participantes da missão de
Jesus pelo mesmo Espírito que foi derramado em nós. Com a festa do batismo de Jesus, encerramos o Tempo do Natal e iniciamos o Tempo Comum. A vida de Jesus que nasce no Natal segue se manifestando e, pela ação do Espírito Santo, vamos assumindo a nossa vocação e
missão de batizados de ser sal e luz no mundo. Que a festa do Batismo do Senhor nos ajude a
reanimar o nosso próprio Batismo, como pertença à
comunidade dos fiéis, não apenas uma participação
numérica, mas uma presença efetiva, de discípulos-
missionários, colocando na vida diária a ação do Espírito
Santo que é derramado sobre nós, e assim, nos
tornamos herdeiros da vida divina, com Cristo, que nos
chama a ser no mundo suas testemunhas e
participantes da grande assembleia dos fieis, a Mãe
Igreja.
"Dízimo é partilha. Partilhar não é dar o que sobra. Partilhar é dar o que o outro precisa".
O dízimo é uma forma maravilhosa de fazer uma experiência com Deus Toda a tentativa de se encontrar com Deus é válida, desde que a mesma nasça de uma experiência positiva com o Deus da vida Experimentar
Deus é participar de sua comunhão com o povo Experimente e você verá !

Christmas Wishes to IC friends and Parishioners
Despite your state of life, your work, your situation or circumstances surrounding your lifeJonly do one thing: Love! Love transforms little pieces of the earth that were entrusted to you in the environment of justice and peace. Be aware that the other is in front of you, that his poverty is the price she/he pays for your riches, that your fill is her/his hunger. We are called to draw, from our small world, relationships of peace, light, transparency, justice. It’s the only way to change this world inclined to evil, war, and destruction. You will therefore become God’s witness in this world, you will be this God among women and men. God will take shape in each one of us, He will again be present, a new, all over. We will lend him our faces, allowing Him to be born among us. That will not be a simple souvenir of a passed event, but joy and celebration for a renewed world. I wish merry Christmas and happy New Year 2016 to Fr. Marc, Parishioners and to all our Marlborough friends who have contributed to support Fr Godfrey’s Well Project and Mission during this ending year. Your generous support enabled us to drill two good permanent wells providing clean water for thousands of people entrusted to our care. We may not be able to measure the real value of your precious contribution and how it changes the lives of many people around us. However, one thing that is sure is that there will be a significant reduction of water related diseases among the people that we serve. Danger, time spent and distance walked in search of water has also been reduced thus providing joy and relieve to many women and children. These children can now spend more time at school. We are very grateful to God and to you for having enabled us to realize this work. We now look forward to the coming New Year with a lot of enthusiasm and hope. God bless you,
Fr Godfrey, Christmas, 2015
