Pope’s Prayer intentions
for January 2015
Universal: Peace
That those from diverse religious
traditions and all people of good
will may work together for peace.
Evangelization: Consecrated life
That in this year dedicated to
consecrated life, religious men
and women may rediscover the
joy of following Christ and strive
to serve the poor with zeal.
From Birth to Ministry
While it seems an abrupt shi from Christmas Day,
the bap sm of Jesus is the next public step in his
life. As it reminds us why we take so much joy in
Christmas itself, it is a fi ng end to our celebra on
of the Christmas season. Following his bap sm, we
see Jesus preaching the Good News, healing the
sick, giving sight to the blind and doing all those
things which are signs of Emmanuel, God living
among us with his saving power.
We take down decora ons, normal schedules
resume and it s ll looks like winter. But the days
grow longer and we too have a mission. A er our
celebra ng, we are to act. We are to organize our
lives to let the Holy Spirit lead us as we a empt to
live as God’s people in everything we do. In all
things, we are to let the Light of Christ shine
through us.
A Ques on
What does it mean to you personally to “live as
God’s people in everything we do”? What do you
find to be most helpful in your day-to-day life to
keep you “on track”? What difference does it make
when you are conscious of following/imita ng
Christ in responding to the situa ons of daily life?
May our gracious, loving God grant us faith,
courage and freedom from confusion, that in all
areas of our lives we may see clearly, plan wisely
and act surely as children of the Light.

ALZHEIMER’S AWARENESS
January is Alzheimer’s Awareness month. Archbishop
Paul-André Durocher, president of the Canadian
Conference of Catholic Bishops, is urging support for a
national dementia strategy. Parliament will debate a
private member’s bill, C-356, An Act for a National
Dementia Strategy early in 2015. Alzheimer’s and related
dementia diseases afflict 750,000 Canadians and their
caregivers. C-356 calls for increasing funding for research,
promoting earlier diagnosis and intervention, strengthening
the integration of primary, home and community care,
enhancing skills and training of the dementia workforce,
and improving support for caregivers. Contact your local
Member of Parliament to show your support; Office of the
Prime Minister (pm@pm.gc.ca); the Health Minister
(Rona.Ambrose@parl.gc.ca) , download a petition for
Parliament
