lt may seem like Christmas happened a long doesn't officially close until the feast we celebration time ago, but the Church's How was your Christmas this year?
celebrate today, so it's an appropriate questionWere your family gatherings festive enough, the presents perfect enough, the midnight Mass moving enough? Our expectations shape our experiences and how we feel about them. Did this year's Christmas live up to yours? Or did it just leave you with a lot of bills to PaY? ln today's Gospel reading, Saint Luke tells us that those awaiting the Messiah were "filled with expectation." The Jewish people in Jesus'day expected a Messiah
who was a fighter-someone who would lead the revolt against the Roman occupying force and overturn the unjust status quo. They expected a political leader or a revolutionary, yet in today's first reading the prophet lsaiah says that God's servant would not be violent-he would bring about justice and freedom through peaceful means. And Jesus did overturn the status quo-not through political or military might, but through uplifting the poor, touching lepers, and reaching out to sinners and outcasts. He wasn't like anything the people expected, yet God praised him at his baptism-"You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased." As we close the season of Christmas and move into Ordinary Time, what expectations do we have about how iesus will act in our lives? Have we decided whom he should be for us and what he should do for us? Or can we just let Jesus be who Jesus will be? JaneI Esker sundaybulletins@.liguori.org
". No matter how much you offer, what remains is always more; and you will be giving nothing that is your own because all things come from God. And just as a man cannot overtake his own shadow, which receded with every forward step and always stays the same distance. . ln the same way also we cannot outdo God in our gifts, for we do not give anything that is not his or that surpasses his own bounty.

for Life
On January 22 we will solemnly observe the fortieth anniversary of the Supreme Court's tragic abortion decisions in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton that created an unlimited abortion license. The fortieth anniversary of legalized abortion in the United States falls within what Pope Benedict XVI has called the Year of Faith, a time of study, prayer and recommitment to the teachings of our faith. During the Year of Faith we are given a special opportunity to acknowledge the great tragedy of abortion and to make reparation for our part. We are invited to rededicate ourselves to transforming a culture of death into a culture of life, while always trusting in God's mercy. Let us embrace our mission of promoting life in all of its stages during this Year of Faith by being radiant examples of Christ's welcoming and forgiving love in our world. Prayer Service for Life Tues Jan 22, zoa3 @ 6:3o PM - 8:oo PM at the State Capitol Sponsored by Aloha Life Council & Pearson Foundation March for Life "A Clear Voice for Life" Sat, z6 Jan zor3 @ 1:oo PM - 5:oo PM at the State Capitol Events include a poster contest for children 3-17 @1:oo p.m. See flier.

Orthodox and most Protestant baptisms are recognized by the Catholic Church. Flowever, baptisms performed by Christian communities that don't believe in the Trinity-Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons, for example-are not recognized by the Catholic Church as valid. These communities may use the same matter (flowing water), but they don't have the same form (Trinitarian formula) or intention in their baptism.
