  • My dear American Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

    There's so much to pray for, and pray we must! Pray for America, for healing and peace, for civil, reasoned and calm listening, understanding and speaking. Pray for attention and devotion to truth, wherever it is found, and with confidence that truth exists, may be known, embraced and lived in and for - the truth above all about God and who we all are as his children, made in his image and likeness and destined for eternal glory! Pray for justice and mercy, that both may be given and received, each in its appropriate manner and time. We must pray for our own perseverance in truth, in living in justice, mercy and love, with gratitude to God for having put us where we are, and in this time. It is his plan in all of this, as at all times, to make us great saints! Below please find an excerpt from a Letter that Pope St Clement I (35 - 99 AD), the third Bishop of Rome after St Peter, and a Martyr, wrote to the Corinthians. Please read it. It's more of a prayer than a letter, and one that he could have written to us and for us, here at this difficult moment in which we find ourselves in 2021. Our Lady of the Rivers, pray for us! God bless you all! God bless America! - Fr Jeremy OMV

    "We shall pray without ceasing to the Creator of all things, and beg him to preserve the number of his elect throughout the whole world, through his beloved son Jesus Christ, and not let a single one of them fall away. Through him you called us from darkness into light and gave us the knowledge of the glory of your name. He taught us to hope in you, from whom all creation has its being. He opened our eyes so that we would recognise you, most high among the highest, holy and surrounded by holiness. You put an end to the pride of the arrogant, you frustrate the plans of the gentiles, you raise up the lowly and bring down those who are exalted. You give riches and give poverty, you dispense both death and life. You succour every spirit, you are the God of all flesh. You behold what is hidden in the depths, you see all that men do. You give help to those in peril and rescue to those without hope. You create all that has breath and watch over it; you multiply the peoples of the earth, and from among them you choose those who love you through Jesus Christ your beloved Son, through whom you give us wisdom, holiness, and honour. We beg you, Lord, to be our help and our support. Free us from our troubles; take pity on the lowly; raise up those who have fallen; give help to the poor, health to the sick, and bring home those who have wandered away. Feed the hungry, ransom captives, give strength to the weak and courage to the faint-hearted. Let all peoples come to know that you alone are God, that Jesus Christ is your son, and that we are your people and the sheep of your flock. For by your acts you made visible the everlasting structure of the Universe and set the Earth on its foundations. For all generations you have been faithful and just in your judgements, and wonderful in your power and majesty. Wisely you have created, and wisely you have kept things in being. All that we see shows your goodness; to all who trust in you, you are faithful, kind, and merciful. Forgive us our wickednesses and injustices, our sins and our transgressions. Do not weigh down your servants with the burden of their sins, but purify us and direct the paths we take so that we go forward in purity and innocence of heart, so that all that we do is good and acceptable to you and to those who lead us. Come, Lord, let your face shine upon us so that we may peacefully enjoy all good things. May your powerful hand be a roof over our heads and may your strength preserve us from all wrongdoing. Free us, Lord, from those who hate us without cause. Give peace and harmony to us and to all the inhabitants of the Earth, as you gave them to our fathers who called on you with trust and faith. You alone can give us these gifts and confer these favours on us. We put our trust in you through Jesus Christ, our high priest, the guardian of our souls. Through him be glory and majesty to you now and through all generations until the end of time. Amen."

    THE BAPTISM OF THE LORDFocus: May our lives always reflect the powerful

    grace of our baptism.God reveals the sacrament of baptism with dynamic power. The heavens are torn. The Spirit descends; the Father’s voice is heard. Two brief verses paint a vivid picture depicting the unity of the Holy Trinity. Through our baptism, we are joined to the family of God and welcomed into the intimacy of the Trinity. Take hold of this gift.Isaiah presents the Suffering Servant, sent to save God’s people. In the Book of Acts, Peter declares salvation is available to all people, and is not restricted to the Israelites. In today’s Gospel, Jesus is baptized by John. The heavens open, the Holy Spirit descends like a dove, while God the Father calls Jesus his beloved Son.

    PART ONE - THE PROFESSION OF FAITHSECTION TWO – THE CREEDS – GOD REVEALS HIS NAME205. The living GodGod calls Moses from the midst of a bush that bums without being consumed: "I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob."9 God is the God of the fathers, the One who had called and guided the patriarchs in their wanderings. He is the faithful and compassionate God who remembers them and his promises; he comes to free their descendants from slavery. He is the God who, from beyond space and time, can do this and wills to do it, the God who will put his almighty power to work for this plan."I Am who I Am"

    Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you', and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." and he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you'. . . this is my name for ever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations."10

    POINSETTIASIf you purchased a Christmas poinsettia in the memory of a loved one, please be sure to take one home with you after Masses NEXT weekend, January 16th and January 17th. We

    ask that you leave the white basket/gold basket behind.
