Rev. Gabrie l Udeh

Grace this Week:

Leader: Lord Jesus, we thank you for your Word. You offer us the faithful example of Elizabeth, who continued to

believe and was blessed with a son in her old age. (Lk. 1:57-58)

All: May we persevere in our prayers and accept the gifts we receive as blessings.

Living in the Word: It is truly beautiful to be a Catholic. What begins at Baptism is a way of life that is shaped by sacred

teachings, strengthened by sacramental celebration, and marked by loving service of neighbour. When this life is fully

embraced in faith, hope and charity, it bears within itself the promise of eternal life! Is it any wonder that I thank God often

for the decision my parents made to have me baptized? (Archbishop Smith, Pastoral Letter, September 14, 2017).

It is Isaiah who wrote, “The Lord called me from birth, from my mother’s womb he gave me my name” (Isaiah 49:1), but it just as easily could have been John the Baptist. He was also called before birth to serve the Lord. The angel Gabriel appeared to Zechariah to announce that his wife, Elizabeth, would bear a son who would “be filled with the Holy Spirit even from his mother's womb...to prepare a people fit for the Lord” (Luke 1:15-17). Indeed the works of the Lord were proclaimed before John even spoke a word. First of all, Elizabeth was advanced in years and thought to be barren. The fact that she bore a child was acknowledged to be a gift from God. Secondly, Zechariah had been struck mute by

Gabriel because he questioned the angel's testimony. When he wrote “John is his name,” Zechariah could speak once again, a sign of God’s power. These works of the Lord, performed on the parents of John the Baptist, “were discussed throughout the hill country of Judea” (Luke 1:65). What the Lord had done could not be kept quiet. Like Isaiah before him and Paul after him, John the Baptist embraced the call to testify to the Messiah .

How are you able to testify to the Lord’s presence in your life?

WEEKDAY MASSES: In regards to our weekday morning masses the church doors will be

opened at 7:45 am until further notice. Thank you!
