We have tried to include all names, but some were illegible so may not be included in this list Weekly Financial Summary:

December 21, 2020—December 27, 2020 $2,603.00 December 28, 2020—January 3, 2021 $1,845.00 The Second Collecon Next Weekend is the Ulity Fund The BapƟsm of the Lord, The End of Christmas and the start of “Ordinary Time”

This Sunday, January 10th marks the celebraon of the Bapsm of the Lord and officially ends the Christmas season. In the weeks since Christmas we have celebrated the birth of Jesus, the arrival of the Magi due to the cosmic change in the heavens indicang the birth of the Son of God and Jesus’s bapsm in the Jordan River by St. John the Bapst that occurred when Jesus was about 30 years old, just three years before his crucifixion. In this short span of me since Christmas we celebrate events that span 30 years!

When we celebrate bapsm it is for the forgiveness of sins, original and personal and the making of us an heir of the Lord of Lords. If that is true, which it is, then why does Jesus need to be bapzed for he is “like us in all things but sin?” The bapsm of Jesus is not for the forgiveness of sins but as a public sign that he is accepng and beginning his public ministry to be the suffering servant, the Lamb of God who will take away the sins of the world. By being Bapzed Jesus is modeling for us; as he was bapzed, so will future Chrisans (followers of Christ) be bapzed. This is God’s plan and Jesus is obedient to the Father, and, this weekend Jesus is giving us an example of humility and obedience.

Aer the celebraon of the Bapsm of the Lord the Church returns to the season known as “Ordinary Time.” Ordi- nary Time is for those 33 or 34 weeks of the year that do not have a parcular aspect of the mystery of Christ cele- brated, such as Christmas, Lent, Triduum, Advent or Easter. Rather, during Ordinary Time, the mystery of Christ itself is honored in its fullness, especially on Sundays.

Ordinary me begins on Monday, January 11 and connues through Tuesday Febru- ary 16, the day before Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the Lenten season. It will resume when the Easter season ends on Monday, May 24, the day aer Pente- cost. Ordinary Time is not a return to the “humdrum” of ordinary things, meaning not special or busy. Ordinary Time, its name coming from counng in ordinal num- bers, is special in its own right, for it is the connued celebraon of Jesus the Messi- ah and Lord. Just because there is not a special tle like “Lent” of “Easter” we should never think Ordinary Time is ordinary!

In your charity please pray for the repose of the soul of The Year Ahead… May God make your year a happy one!
