Thus says the Lord: All you who are thirsty, come to the water!...Come to me heedfully; listen, that you may have life. I will renew
with you the everlasting covenant. (Isaiah 55:1,3)
Come to the water! What a beautiful invitation we receive from
Christ Himself again at His baptism by John in the Jordan. Water: that
which cleanses us; that which sustains life.
We most fittingly begin every new year, with a liturgy honoring
Mary, the Mother of God. We renew ourselves, model ourselves after
Mary, who gave herself completely to God.
Then we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany. The three Wise
Men followed a star on their very difficult journey, encountering many
trials. But they persevered, remained focused, and they were rewarded. They entered Bethlehem to find our Savior, Jesus Christ, cradled
in the arms of His mother, Mary.
Today we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of the Lord. We
Christians find our Savior by entering the water of Baptism. Christ calls
us to the water. He goes into the water before us to lead us, to guide
us, to reveal the image of God His Father. As Jesus came out of the
water, the heavens opened “and he saw the Spirit of God descending
like a dove and coming upon him. And a voice...saying ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’” (Matthew 3:16-17). Jesus, a
member of the Holy Trinity, was there in the beginning.
Today He is still with us. As we now continue our journey
through the liturgical year, in Ordinary time, we see Christ’s ordinary
life, witness His ordinary miracles. He is always showing us the way.
Christ leads us into the desert, shows us what to do in times of temptation. We must remain focused on Christ and we will be rewarded.
Christ: yesterday, today and forever!
Father Storey
My gratitude is boundless
the list of blessings, prayers, gifts
and good wishes you have given
is endless!
At Christmas we rejoice in
God’s gift of His Son! At Christmas I have been gifted in so
many ways by you! You, good
people of Holy Spirit, show the
Spirit of Christmas all year long!
Your support,
encouragement and prayers
made the celebration of my 60th
anniversary with Pope Francis
possible. You will be in my
frequent celebration of the
Eucharist (Thanksgiving) in the
year ahead!
Father Tony Lickteig
Thank you to all the church decorators, musicians, sacristans,
lectors, ushers, extraordinary ministers of the Eucharist, and altar
servers who stepped forward to volunteer for the Christmas and
New Year's Masses. We are blessed to have you at Holy Spirit!
Your parish appreciates you!
Holy Spirit Parish needs Ushers!
With almost 5,000 people attending Mass at
Holy Spirit each weekend, we could use more
Ushers.
Our needs are particularly pressing for the 4:00
pm Saturday and 10:30 am Sunday Masses.
Duties include greeting and seating the congregation, taking up the collection, and distributing the weekly Bulletin.
Men and women (this is not a guys-only ministry), high school age and
up, who are interested should contact Dan Rohde 913-469-5669 or

children.

School of Religion
Transmitting the Faith
It is through Baptism that the gift of faith is first
transmitted. For parents, this is the greatest gift you
can give your child. The baptism of a child begins a journey between
parents and child. As they gave their child physical life, parents then
transmit the faith to their children. Pope Francis has spoken of this
frequently, and last month he even had a prayer intention for parents
as the first evangelizers of their children. May all parents be
encouraged by Pope Francis to hand on the faith to their children.
“Jesus had no need to be baptized, but the first theologians
say that in His Baptism, with His body and His divinity He blessed all
the waters, so that the waters would have the power to give Baptism.
And then, before ascending to Heaven, Jesus told us to go out to the
whole world to baptize. And from that day until today, this has been an
uninterrupted chain: children were baptized, and then their children,
and then these children’s children. And today also, this chain
continues.
These children are a link in the chain. You, parents, have a
baby boy or a baby girl to be baptized, but in a few years, they will be
the ones who will have a child or a grandchild to be baptized. So is the
chain of faith! What does this mean? I would like to say only this to
you: you are the ones who transmit the faith, the transmitters. You
have the duty to transmit the faith to these children. The faith is the
most beautiful inheritance you will leave them! Only this. Take this
thought home with you today. We must be transmitters of the faith.
Think of this, think always how to transmit the faith to the children.”
(Pope Francis)

The Baptism of the Lord
“Walking Toward Eternity:
Engaging the Struggles of Your Heart”
Starting Thursday, Jan. 29, at 1 p.m. in the Martha/Mary room,
we will present "Walking Toward Eternity: Engaging the Struggles of
your Heart." This inspiring study is an 8 week program that will help
participants live their faith more fully and is a great Lenten preparation.
This challenging study can open our eyes to obstacles in our Christian
walk such as greed, envy, fear and shame. Through prayer, reflection,
guidance, and the aid of the Holy Spirit, we begin to engage these
difficulties in a positive way as we continue toward our goal of union
with Christ.
Cost for supplies will be between $15-$18, depending on
number of participants and shipping costs. Scholarships are
available. Please register by email to judyweeks@everestkc.net or
call 385-0089 if you have any questions.
