Sunday,
22nd January 2012
Third
Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Follow
me and I will make you into
fishers of people.”
Those
words of Jesus, which are
given to us for this week,
are usually thought of as
being addressed to people
with a vocation to the priesthood
or religious life. They
are about vocation certainly
but are addressed to each
of us. The four great vocations
in the Church are single
life, married life, religious
life and priesthood. All
of us who are baptised are
living one of those and
each of us is vital to the
health of the whole body,
the Church. We live our
vocations in different ways
but to the same end, the
salvation of the world.
Our task is to discover
how to live our own vocation
to the full. This means
discovering how to make
our love radiate out to
those around us. We begin
in our homes with those
who are closest to us. Then
we can reach out to the
world around us. When we
are with Christ and following
him love will be the characteristic
of our lives.

Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Week
of Prayer for Christian Unity
- Has been celebrated since 1894. This
year’s theme is ‘We will all
be changed by the victory of our Lord
Jesus Christ’ “Thanks be
to God, who gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved,
be steadfast, immovable, al- ways excelling
in the work of the Lord, be- cause you
know that in the Lord your la- bour is
not in vain. Praise to the Lord, who leads
us into unity!” Father, we dedicate this
week to pray for the deepening of our
unity in Christ. By travelling the road
of service your Son leads us from the
arrogance of our disobedience to humility
of heart. Unite us to one another by your
Holy Spirit, In order to unite with one
another, we must love one another; In
order to love one another, we must know
one another; In order to know one another,
we must go out to meet one another.

Prayer
to Saint Camillus of Lellis -
Most wonderful Saint, your compassion
for the sick and the dying led
you to found the Servants of the
Sick. As Patron of doctors, nurses
and hospital workers, infuse in
them your compassionate spirit.
Make hospitals resemble the inn
in Christ's Parable to which the
Good Samaritan brought the wounded
man saying: "Take care of
him and I will repay you for it."
Amen
“Think
well. Speak well. Do well. These
three things, through the mercy
of God, will make a man go to
Heaven .
Camillus
died on July 14, 1614. In 1742,
Pope Benedict XIV proclaimed Camillus
de Lellis blessed; in 1746 he
canonized him, calling him the
“Founder of a new school
of charity”. |
