Christ's Baptism Foreshadows Our Own 1305 Royal Avenue Simi Valley, CA 93065 The Baptism of the Lord January 11, 2015 Christ's Baptism Foreshadows Our Own At first glance, the Baptism of the Lord might seem an odd feast. Since the Catholic Church teaches that the Sacrament of Baptism is necessary for the remission of sins, particularly Original Sin, why was Christ baptized? After all, He was born without Original Sin, and He lived His entire life without sinning. Therefore, He had no need of the sacrament, as we do. In submitting Himself humbly to the baptism of St. John the Baptist, however, Christ provided the example for the rest of us. If even He should be baptized, though He had no need of it, how much more should the rest of us be thankful for this sacrament, which frees us from the darkness of sin and incorporates us into the Church, the life of Christ on earth! His Baptism, therefore, was necessary--not for Him, but for us. Many of the Fathers of the Church, as well as the medieval Scholastics, saw Christ's Baptism as the institution of the sacrament. His Flesh blessed the water, and the descent of the Holy Spirit (in the form of a dove) and the voice of God the Father announcing that this was His Son, in Whom He was well pleased, marked the beginning of Christ's public ministry.

On behalf of the priests, I want to thank you for your Christmas cards, for the delicious baked goods, and for the gifts you left at the rectory. All of us priests are very grateful for your thoughtfulness and generosity. I also would like to express my gratitude to the rectory staff and to all the members of the liturgy committee, the environment committee, the choirs and the liturgical ministers (greeters, ushers, lectors, Eucharistic Minis- ters, sacristans and altar servers) who generously gave of their time to make sure that Advent and Christmas and the Christmas Season would be glorious for all of us. I especially would like to thank Clare Delto, her husband Byron and the choirs who not only provided the sa- cred music for our liturgies, but who also presented a marvelous Christmas concert for the parish. I am sorry for those who could not attend. It was that good! Finally, I would like to thank Sandi and George Lemos and their family who prepared and presented our parish staff Christmas party last Friday. The food and drink were scrumptious. What a way to end our Christmas Season. May God bless all of you as we begin this New Year. Yours in Christ, Fr. Joseph Shea We had a quite an Advent and Christmas season here at St. Rose of Lima...graces abound! Fr. Paul Nicholson, a missionary preacher, gave us 4 evenings of a traditional parish mission, Dec. 14-17. The church was full on the first evening, and nearly filled for the remaining talks! The hearts of many were touched in a deep place...confession lines were long every night. Fr. Earl Eggleston joined us on Dec. 29 to give us an additional blessing by offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the Extraordinary Form (Latin). We all received Holy Communion on the tongue while kneeling. The reverence was a beautiful sight to behold, and reminded us that we should also show such reverence during the Ordinary Form of the Mass. Visit the St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church Facebook page to see the links to view all four of Fr. Paul Nicholson’s Parish Mission talks on video. (Or, on YouTube, search: “Fr. Paul Nicholson parish mission.”). A photo album of our Latin Mass can also be viewed on the St. Rose Facebook page. The parish gave the gift of “Rediscover Catholicism” by Matthew Kelly to each family for Christmas. (Copies may still be available in the vestibule.) An annual gift of a Catholic calendar, sponsored by Rose Family Funeral Home, was also given to each family. What Does Jesus Expect of Me? MASS INTENTIONS Jesus calls you to follow Him.

I am always looking for talented ministers to serve in our youth ministry program. I believe that solid ministry is built on relationships between adult staff and teens. Relationships are key to teens feeling loved and accepted so that they can understand the love of God in practical ways. This is when real spiritual growth takes place in a teen’s life. A Youth Ministry like Life Teen requires a substantial team of volunteers working at all levels – from Core members who lead small groups to Life Support who setup environments and serve food. The challenge of our Life Teen Youth Ministry is to access the wealth and diversity of resources within and around the area parishes so as to provide a meaningful and effective faith formation program for younger and older adolescents which engages their energy, imagination, curiosity, compassion and playful spirit in an exploration and engagement of our Catholic faith. Thus, the quality of our youth ministry volunteers is very important.
