Pope at Angelus: ‘Remember date of
your Baptism’ Ahead of the Sunday Angelus prayer, Pope Francis urges each of us to remember the date of our Baptism, and reflects on Jesus’ two-fold immersion at his own Baptism in the Jordan. By Devin Watkins Pope Francis had a seemingly simple question for everyone present at the Angelus prayer in St. Peter’s Square: “Which of you knows the date of your Baptism?” He invited everyone who doesn’t to find out from their parents, grandparents, or godparents and to celebrate that date every year. Two-fold immersion The Pope’s invitation came as the Church celebrated the Solemnity of the Baptism of Our Lord. Reflecting on the readings at Mass, Pope Francis said Jesus underwent a two-fold immersion at his Baptism. In human condition First, Jesus was immersed in the crowd, he said. “He unites himself to them, thus completely assuming the human condition, sharing everything with them, except sin.” The Pope said Jesus’ Baptism in the Jordan is also an epiphany, because it takes place “in the midst of the penitent people”, where Jesus “manifests the logic and the sense of his mission.” He said Jesus shared the people’s “profound desire for interior renewal.” In prayer After being immersed in the water of the Jordan, the Pope said, Jesus was “immersed in prayer, that is, in communion with the Father.” Jesus begins his mission of manifesting God’s love for humanity with his Baptism. “Such a mission is accomplished through constant and perfect union with the Father and with the Holy Spirit,” the Pope said. Pope Francis said this means “being continually regenerated in prayer, evangelization and apostolic works so as to give clear Christian witness”. Renew baptismal promises Finally, the Pope said the Baptism of the Lord is an opportunity to renew our own baptismal promises, “committing ourselves to live daily in a manner consistent with it.” “May Jesus, who saved us not through any merit of our own but in order to demonstrate the immense goodness of the Father, make us merciful toward everyone.”

Ángelus: Recordar el bautismo, son nuestras raíces de la vida con Dios A la hora del Ángelus, en la solemnidad del Bautismo del Señor, el Santo Padre invita a regenerar en la oración “la Evan-gelización y el Apostolado”, para hacer un claro testimonio cristiano, no de acuer-do con nuestros proyectos humanos, sino con el plan de Dios. Mireia Bonilla – Ciudad del Vaticano A las 12 del mediodía del 13 de enero de 2019, día en el que la Iglesia Católica ce-lebra la Fiesta del Bautismo del Señor, con la plaza de San Pedro en el Vaticano repleta de fieles, el Papa Francisco recitó la oración mariana del Ángelus asegurando que esta fiesta es “una ocasión propicia para renovar con gratitud y convicción las promesas de nuestro Bautismo, comprometiéndonos a vivir diariamente en armonía con él”. Hoy, día en el que finaliza el tiempo litúrgico de Navidad, “la liturgia nos llama a conocer más plenamente a Jesús, de quien recién hemos celebrado el nacimiento” expresó el Papa ante los fieles y aseguró que por esta razón el Evangelio de Lucas de hoy “ilustra dos elementos importan-tes: la relación de Jesús con la gente y la relación de Jesús con el Padre”. Jesús se sumerge entre la multitud manifestando la lógica de su misión Narrando la historia del bautismo, que fue otorgada por Juan el Bautista a Jesús en las aguas del Jordán, el Papa Francisco pide prestar atención al papel del pueblo, el cual – asegura - “no es solo un fondo de la escena, sino un componente esencial del evento” por-que Jesús, antes de sumergirse en el agua, "se sumerge" en la multitud, se une a ella y asu-me plenamente la condición humana, compartiendo todo excepto el pecado. Un gesto con el que Jesús “manifiesta la lógica y el significado de su misión” asegura Francisco y que lleva a que hoy también sea “una Epifanía”. Además, el Papa puntualiza que el Espíritu Santo que desciende sobre Él en forma corporal, como una paloma “es la señal de que con Jesús comienza un nuevo mundo”, “una nueva creación que incluye a todos los que aco-gen a Cristo en su vida”. Y este amor del Padre – dice el Papa – que recibimos el día de nuestro bautismo, “es una llama que ha sido encendida en nuestros corazones y requiere que seamos alimentados por la oración y la caridad”. Jesús se sumerge en comunión con el Padre para manifestar su bondad y amor por los hombres El Santo Padre explica también el segundo elemento enfatizado por el evangelista Lucas, en el que Jesús ya bautizado, se "sumerge" a sí mismo en la oración y por tanto en comu-nión con el Padre. “El bautismo es el comienzo de la vida pública de Jesús” afirma el Pa-pa, y de su misión en el mundo “como un enviado del Padre para manifestar su bondad y su amor por los hombres”. Y además, añade – “esta misión se realiza en una unión cons-tante y perfecta con el Padre y el Espíritu Santo”. Tenemos como misión regenerar nuestra oración de acuerdo al plan de Dios En este sentido, Francisco asegura que la misión de la Iglesia y la de cada uno de nosotros de ser fieles y fructíferos, está llamada a "injertarse" en la de Jesús, “regenerando conti-nuamente en la oración la Evangelización y el Apostolado, para hacer un claro testimonio cristiano, no de acuerdo con nuestros proyectos humanos, sino de acuerdo con el plan y el estilo de Dios”. El bautismo son nuestras raíces de la vida con Dios Después de estas palabras y de recitar la oración mariana del Ángelus, el Pontífice volvió a insistir en su invitación de ”mantener vivo y actualizado el recuerdo del bautismo”, pues es ahí donde están “las raíces de nuestra vida en Dios; las raíces de nuestra vida eterna, que Jesucristo nos dio con su Encarnación, Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección” y pidió invo-car “más a menudo” al Espíritu Santo “para vivir las cosas comunes con amor, y así hacer-las extraordinarias”.

We need your help! Saint Theresa’s asks you to consider a wonderful and rewarding way to share your time and gifts. Our parish needs Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion to serve the three hospitals and ten assisted living facilities under our care. The patients and residents are unable to join us for Mass, so WE go to THEM. Each week, we visit these facilities, bringing the Eucharist
and the latest bulletin to each small Catholic population. We need more volunteers. We need you! Requirements: Be a practicing Catholic, baptized & confirmed. Time involved: Approximately one hour twice a month; weekend or weekday. Training: Will be conducted by our coordinator as she conducts a Visit to the Sick with Holy Communion training on Wednesday, January 23rd in the church at 11:00 am OR at 6:30 pm (you can attend either session). You will see first-hand how to provide this important service, ask questions, and "shadow" one of our volunteers until you feel confident to take on this ministry solo (you and a partner can do this together if you prefer). Goal: It is our goal to have enough volunteers assigned to each facility so that the schedule can be spread out amongst several persons and no one is expected to do more than he/she can comfortably cover. We need substitutes as well, so if you can't commit to a regular schedule, please receive the training so you can assist when emergency coverage is needed. If everyone does something, no one has to do everything. Please call or text Kate Barton at (281) 250-1347 with any questions you may have, or to set up a time to join her at a Visit to the Sick with Holy Communion (her number is also in the bulletin under Pastoral Care).
Thank you!

A peaceful, prayerful presence outside an abortion clinic has shown to be effective in preventing abortion. Sidewalk advocacy goes further.
• Trained volunteers approach women entering the clinic, offering help and
hope to redirect them to a nearby pregnancy help center. • Sidewalk advocacy continues year round, and focuses on covering the
hours the clinic is open. A local program may begin with one day a week, and grow to eventually cover all the hours a clinic is open.
Sidewalk Advocacy Training
Saturday February 16, 2019 at 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. St. Clare Room in the St. Laurence Ave Maria Center
Cost is $15.00; lunch will be provided.
Advance registration required. Contact Marie McCoy: 281-610-3986 or [email protected] Christian Voices for Life will begin sidewalk advocacy in March, outside the Women's
Center of Houston located at 8200 Wednesbury Lane (Suite 230), Houston, TX.
