Spend a few minutes this week reading next Sunday’s Gospel reading.
It’ll change your experience at Mass.
Sunday, January 11—Mk 1: 7-11
“Jesus came to John, and received baptism at his hands. Could anything be more wonderful? The boundless river
that gladdens the City of God is washed by a few drops of water. The source without limits that engenders life
for all mankind and is beyond all understanding is covered by the poor waters of this world.”
-St. Hippolytus
Cf. Catechism of the Catholic Church, 535-537 on the meaning of Christ’s baptism; 456-460 on why Christ came among us; 430-451 on the names of Jesus and how they incite us to know, love, and imitate him
Next Sunday
Joy to the World
All guests who present themselves are to be welcomed as Christ, for he himself will say: I was a stranger and you welcomed me. - Mt 25:35

Christmas 2014 News From Saint Ann School
“CELEBRATING THE BIRTH OF JESUS”
Christmas is the perfect time to orient the children to the person of Jesus.
We want to encourage the children to wonder at the mystery of incarnation -
God loves humanity so much that God chose to become human and live as one of us.
The children become familiar with the Angel Gabriel's
visit to Mary to tell her she will be mother to Jesus, Mary's visit to Elizabeth, the birth of Jesus and
the visit of the Shepherds.
We have many beautiful materials to help even the youngest children extend their meditation
on these rich narratives - each includes 3-D figures and a simple environment to explore.
Often an adult (or another child) will read the scripture while the child moves the figures.
Before break, we celebrated the coming of Christmas
by looking at the birth of Jesus. We are always moved by the children's ability to sit in quiet joy and contemplate scripture,
particularly at this exciting time of year!
