Sunday, Jan. 22nd 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time Matthew 4:12-23 “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
Fr. Patrick’s Holy Homework
This week, try to remember this little phrase: Revelation is divine communication that brings transformation. If we can remember those words, we’ll value the truth of them and be faithful to being prayerful and the divine illumination will keep happening!
“Repetitio est mater studiorum” “Repetition is the mother of learning”
Point to Jesus!!!!!

Prophets: People Called to Speak and Act Generations of Faith 2022/23 Jeremiah, Prophet of Judgment and Hope
Jeremiah is a Prophet of Hope as God promises through Jeremiah an everlasting love for His people and offers hope for Israel’s future. Yet the writings of the prophet are also full of accusation, warnings, and judgment for Israel from God.

Holy Moments – next step?
Have you picked up and started reading your “Holy Moments” book by Matthew Kelly at the back of church?
“What is a holy moment? A holy moment is a moment when you make yourself completely available to God. You set self-interest aside, you set aside what you want to do or feel like doing, and for that moment you do exactly what you sense God is calling you to do…” Matthew Kelly

Eucharistic Adoration
The Eucharist is being exposed on the altar in church on the following schedule: Tuesdays: 6:00pm – 8:30pm [Note: that’s a usual time for our neighborhood Evangelization efforts so prayer support is appreciated!]
Thursdays: 9:15am – 12:15pm [Note: Holy Hour for Priestly Vocations from 9:15am – 10:15am]
One of the greatest treasures of the Catholic faith is the Eucharist. Ever since the Last Supper, the Catholic Church has believed that the Eucharist is truly the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ. You are invited to come and spend time in adoration with Jesus at Corpus Christi as we begin to offer these new time slots for adoration.
Ideally, we will have two people in the church before Jesus whenever adoration happens. On our parish website you will see two slots for each time. Please know that if the slot is filled there will still be plenty of room in church for you!
