    DISCIPLES & APOSTLES

    “Come after me,” said Jesus, “and I will make you fishers of people.” Those are two functions, two sides of the same coin. Following the path of a master is the work of a disciple, student or apprentice. Going fishing for people, however, is the work of a person sent in the name of another. The Twelve were fishers of people for Christ Jesus. Are not we also both disciples and apostles for Christ Jesus? Yes. In his name we proclaim the Gospel of God. The time is now; God’s reign is breaking in! We proclaim that Good News in word and deed to all because we love them.

Second Sunday in Ordinary TIme

At the suggestion of Jill Wells Renne DiRaimo and Lois Lintelman, each of our Confirmation candidates was given a prayer partner to help them on their journey to becoming fully initiated member of the Faith. The prayer partner volunteers were solicited at the Monthly Holy Hour and at the Saturday morning Mass. I asked that the partners make a conscious effort to pray for their candidate each day, particularly when receiving Communion at Mass. I appreciate their willingness to take on this spiritual task.
