Jesus, You called St. Paul, who was a sinner, a man who thought that You and Your followers
were to be eliminated.
When Paul asked You who You were that he was persecuting, You said that "when you persecute
the least of my people, you persecute me".
Jesus, continue to help all our brothers and sisters, who today are being persecuted for
their belief in You.
Help us to pray for them and assist them in every way possible.
let us do what we can to bring religious freedom to all people.
Amen and Amen.
Thank you Lord, for loving us totally.

This weeks readings and reflections
Sunday A NEW BEGINNING
http://presentationministries.com/obob/obob.asp?d=1/22/2012
"This is the time of fulfillment. The reign of God is at hand! Reform your lives and believe
in the gospel!" -Mark 1:15
The Lord doesn't want us to go on with this new year without repenting, that is, reforming
our lives. When we hear the Lord's call to repentance, we agree that many people need to hear
that call. However, the Lord is saying that each of us needs to repent - to remove the plank
from our eyes before trying to remove the splinters from the eyes of others (Mt 7:5).
Even if we admit our own need to repent, we probably don't think we have to do so immediately.
However, the Lord says: "The time is short" (1 Cor 7:29). We may be like the Ninevites: either
we repent within forty days (or forty minutes) or be destroyed (Jon 3:4). "Delay not your
conversion to the Lord, put it not off from day to day; for suddenly His wrath flames forth"
(Sir 5:8-9). "Delay not to forsake sins, neglect it not till you are in distress" (Sir 18:21).
"Now is the acceptable time! Now is the day of salvation!" (2 Cor 6:2)
So each one of us should repent right now and go to Confession as soon as possible. If we
don't know what to confess, or even if we think we do, we should ask the Holy Spirit to help
us (see Jn 16:8). We may be blinded to sin by sin. Begin this year freed from sin.

"The Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." -2 Corinthians 3:17
Jesus came to set the captives free (Lk 4:18), "to bring out prisoners from confinement, and from the
dungeon, those who live in darkness" (Is 42:7). Jesus died to give us a new Exodus, freeing us not
only from slavery and Pharaoh but from sin, Satan, and death. If Jesus, the Son of Man, sets us
free, ..................

Pope Benedict XVI, Shepherd of Truth
http://presentationministries.com/BST/bst2012-01.asp?navlink=latest
Notable quotations from Pope Benedict XVI and official
teachings of the Roman Catholic Church
RECOGNIZE JESUS
Through faith, we can recognize the face of the risen Lord in those who ask for our love... It
is faith that enables us to recognize Christ and it is His love that impels us to assist Him
whenever He becomes our neighbor along the journey of life.
"AUTHENTIC AND LASTING"
... May this Year of Faith make our relationship with Christ the Lord increasingly firm, since
only in Him is there certitude for looking to the future and the guarantee of an authentic and
lasting love.
CHANGED LIVES
"Faith working through love" (Gal 5:6) becomes a new criterion of understanding and action
that changes the whole of man's life...
