Is God calling You?
Today we hear that Jesus’ coming into our world and all of the love he poured out for us, through much sacrifice, was done in
obedience to the Father’s will. Remember that it may be God’s will that you be a priest, or a religious sister or brother. If so, will you
follow Jesus’ example of faithfulness? If God is calling you to a Church vocation, call
Fr. Andrew Lauricella at 716-847-5535.

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up a righteous shoot to David.” - Jer 23:5
God promised to build an everlasting house for David. In sleep, Joseph, of the house of David, receives word of the promise’s astonishing fulfillment: his intended wife has not been
unfaithful but has been the faithful instrument in God’s plan to save the world through the gift of the Son she has conceived by the Holy Spirit.
