FORGIVENESS The only true forgiveness is that which is offered and extended even before the offender has apologized and sought it. —Søren Kierkegaard

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The glory of the Lord shows through Israel, a light to all nations, that salvation may reach to the ends of the earth (Isaiah 49:3, 5-6). Psalm — Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will (Psalm 40). Second Reading — All those who call upon the name of the Lord are called to be holy (1 Corinthi-ans 1:1-3). Gospel — John the Baptist testifies: The one who comes after me, on whom the Spirit comes down and remains, is the Son of God (John 1:29-34).

SAINT AGNES (died 304) January 21 Writing about Saint Agnes in the year 377, Saint Am-brose, Bishop of Milan, declared: “This is a virgin’s birthday into heaven: let us imitate her chastity! And a martyr’s heaven-ly birthday: let us offer ourselves in sacrifice!” Chastity: mas-tery of oneself in order to give of oneself whether in the priest-ly, religious, married, or single state. Sacrifice: “to make holy,” to set someone or something apart for service. Ambrose knew these virtues indispensable for discipleship, but challenging to practice in his world—or our own. Barely a teenager, Agnes faced gruesome tortures bravely and, when ordered to wor-ship pagan gods, boldly made the Sign of the Cross instead. Thus, her youthful courage strengthened adult believers who wavered under persecution or grew indifferent when persecu-tions passed. To bestow on Agnes its highest honor and keep her witness fresh in believers’ hearts, the Church inscribed her name at the heart of the Eucharistic liturgy, in the Roman Can-on (Eucharistic Prayer I), until Vatican II the Roman Church’s only Eucharistic Prayer.

What is your level of peace on a scale of 1-10? In this troubled world, frac-tured families, failing bodies, and withering anxiety, it is often hard to experi-ence true, inward, lasting peace. Yet, In the Upper Room, just hours before his arrest, trials, crucifixion and death, Jesus had a talk with his friends who sensed the impending doom. They were facing the dread of losing him and the fear of losing their own lives. Still, even then, Jesus said to them, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. My peace I give you. (John 14: 1,27) How can we find that peace? Come join us to explore this topic in a four-week Bible Study, My Peace I Give You. Presented by Susan Castille, Beginning March 12, 2020 and ending April 2, 2020, 9:15 - 11: 45 AM. Please note new church: Holy Cross Church- Father Calais Center.
