To You From the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
The Church holds Christmas as the second most sacred celebration after Easter. Liturgically,
Christmas refers to the memorial of Christ’s Nativity and His early manifestations which include
His baptism as an adult. Thus, today’s Feast, The Baptism of the Lord, is still part of the
Christmas celebration, although it concludes it. We are so used to thinking of Jesus only as an
infant during the Season that we don’t often think of His adult image as part of Christmas. In
fact, all the daily Gospel readings, from last Sunday’s Feast of Epiphany to this Sunday, are adult
images of Jesus, portraying different qualities of His person in order to reveal what kind of God
who became man He is in relation to us. Those portrayed images of Jesus are called His
Epiphanies or His manifestations. They answer the question posed in the famous carol, “What
Child is this?” The ultimate answer to the same question is now given in today’s feast; given not
just by prophets or sages but by God the Father Himself: “This is my beloved Son…Listen to
Him.” On that note, Christmas is concluded and we are now asked to listen to the beloved Son of
the Father and follow Him.
The Feast of Baptism of the Lord enables us to reflect on our own baptism. It is said that our
baptism is the most important day of our Christian life. It is rightfully so because at our baptism
we are made sharers of the life of Christ. Baptism unites us with Jesus in the most intimate
manner, bringing us into the family of God with the right to call God our Father. St. Paul said “Are
you unaware that we who are baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? …So that
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might live in newness
of life.” (Romans 6:3-4). In other words, as baptized people we need to exude a certain
confidence that does not come from human strength and power but from the life that we share
in baptism. It is because the life of Jesus does not end in death but in the newness of life. It does
not end in defeat but in victory. Our confidence is grounded in our belief that bad things do not
have the last say. We are meant to overcome all the odds that come our way through Him whose
life we share. Although we were baptized some time ago, our baptism is not an event of the past
but an ever present reality, a constant and an on-going sharing in the life of the Risen Christ.
Also at baptism the spirit of God takes possession of us in a very special way, to direct and guide
us in the footsteps of Christ. Baptism configured us onto Christ who is Priest, Prophet and King.
As people configured onto Him and made sharers of His life, we too are to live out our priestly,
prophetic, and kingly vocations in coming closer every day to God in worship and prayer and to
be helpers in Christ’s work of saving the world. As priests we are to offer prayers to God,
especially intercessory prayers. (That is, praying not for oneself but for others and for the world).
As prophets, we are to proclaim and teach the faith, especially to the ones within the sphere of
our influence. We are to announce the Good News and denounce evil. As kings we are called to
govern and order the affairs of those who count on our leadership in such as way that they are
helped to fulfill God’s will for them. As kings, we are called to be servants of God in our sphere of
living and to make our world a better place. Happy Baptism Day of the Lord!
Sincerely Yours In Christ,
Fr. Burt Absalon,
Pastor

“For it is in
giving that
we receive.”
St. Francis of Assisi
I caught a radio interview with
the new Archbishop of Chicago,
Blase Cupich. He said a few
things which inspired my New
Year’s goal-setting. The whole
interview can be found at relevantradio.com (Morning Air, Audio Archives, Hour 1 of Dec. 23).
In his first few weeks in Chicago,
the Archbishop visited prisons,
served meals at a soup kitchen
on Thanksgiving Day, and on Dec. 22, he conducted burial services for 19 abandoned people whose identities
were unknown.
The interviewer asked about how we can get over the
fear of going to the poor. The Archbishop answered, “It
is important to go to where the poor are rather than distance them from the ordinary life of the church. I was
taken by the example of a young couple [I met at the
soup kitchen.] They told me they were there to help, as
a way of preparing themselves for their wedding day on
the following Saturday… I thought that was a terrific witness… There is something very unique about actually
doing the work, because you make sure that any alienation that is present in people who feel that their lives
are unimportant, evaporates when you see them face to
face. And I intend to do more of that, to keep my own
spiritual life very fresh.”
When asked, what can we do to get out of our spiritual
comfort zones, the Archbishop answered, “It takes conversion. It is the matter of whether or not we believe
that Christ is risen and active in our midst... We have to
ask ourselves, is the Lord doing something new in my
life, or did I get to a place where I say I’ve been there,
done that… I have served on too many committees, I’ve
given enough… I’ve forgiven enough... Are we able to
see that the Lord is calling us to something new every
day?”
At times, I’ve been advised to set goals on what I want to
have, to do, and to be. I never realized there were 3
kinds of goals. Since I tend to be a workaholic, I always
set goals to do things; I thought that was the only kind of
goal there was. Have, do, be. Listening to the
Archbishop, I realized he was talking mostly about goals
for being; being a witness by giving people your presence. Listen to the Lord and be prepared for surprises.
(Surprise! The God who calls Himself “I AM” cares more
about be than have or do.) For me, that means I’m going
to think about which items I should take off my to-do list
in order to just be with my husband and daughter.
Please share some of your stories of conversion moments, large or small! Email them to disciples@stmarywoodstock.org. We can print your story anonymously if
you want.

Do you find God’s presence in the daily work
of law enforcement? Do you see God’s face
in the people you serve in the fire service?
Join us for an evening of confidential sharing and reflection.
First responders are trained in addressing the dangers in
society and the immediate needs of city residents.
Rarely do we “check in” with ourselves and address the
needs of self. 3 John 1:2 “ I pray that you may enjoy
good health and that all may go well with you, even as
your soul is getting along well.” This program will engage
you in honest conversation about obstacles and challenges that come with the title of First Responders and
the Christian’s response to these obstacles and challenges in efforts of seeking a holistic wellbeing.

Life can change in an instant – throwing us
off-course and in a direction for which we
are not prepared. We’re suddenly challenged to find an inner strength to survive and move forward. It is at these moments we sometimes discover a
spirit within ourselves that helps us down a path of unexpected self-discovery, hope and healing.
Join us for a Women’s Morning of Renewal as Lee Woodruff, author and CBS reporter, shares the wisdom and
inspiration she learned along her own remarkable and
difficult journey.
One minute Lee seemed to have it all – a happy marriage, four beautiful children and a successful career.
Her life turned upside down when her husband Bob, the
newly appointed co-anchor of ABC’s “World News Tonight”, was severely wounded in a roadside bomb attack
in Iraq. Engaging, heartfelt and candid, Lee reminds all
of us that nothing is stronger than the courage gained
through love and hope.
Our morning will also include time for participants to reflect on and share their own stories of challenges and
healing. A special event for women, this day is devoted
to listening, sharing and inspiring each other to find our
inner spirits and discover our own paths as we navigate
through these perfectly, imperfect lives.

for a “Vigil of Life”. Through the rosary and
benediction, we will pray that human life, at every
stage, be protected and nurtured. Women wishing
to receive a blessing because they are pregnant,
are trying to become pregnant, or wish to adopt can
do so at this time.
“[T]he courage and grace shown by those women who choose
life—in the face of fear, uncertainty, parental or partner intimidation, seemingly insurmountable odds—make them today's heroes.
They are joined by the many who counsel, support and nurture
them both before and after the birth of their child. Such self-giving
love…is powerfully transformative of mother, of child, of families,
of cultures.”
