Living Our Faith
Jesus is always deliberate in his actions. And today’s gospel is no exception. While he went through Galilee teaching and receiving praise, it was his hometown of Nazareth where he chose to shake things up a bit. It is easy to imagine the others in the synagogue expecting Jesus to read according to tradition. His self-proclamation of his identity and his mission to bring good news to the poor, disabled, and disadvantaged must have been quite disruptive. Especially since those in the synagogue had known him for most of his life as a carpenter’s son. How often does Jesus shake up things around us? Do we take note? Or do we dismiss him because he may be working through someone we don’t expect?

Online gifts can be made at: st-louis.weshareonline.org THE ADORATION CODE WILL BE CHANGING ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 26, 2016 | Only those
adorers who have provided an updated information sheet (on or after 1 December 2015) will be notified of the new key code. We have the wonderful gift in our parish of having Eucharistic Adoration. We have a chapel that provides time and space for church members to come before our Lord. The Blessed Sacrament is in Exposition 24/7. Many church members and visitors come before the Lord during day time hours and during night time hours. We are extending an invitation to all church members to volunteer to come to Adoration. Currently, everyone who is a registered adorer who visits the Blessed Sacrament has a key code to enter our Adoration Chapel. Information sheets in English and Spanish can be found on the table in the adoration chapel. The forms can be placed in the adjacent lockbox or dropped off at the church office during office hours. Forms are also available for download and for filling in online at the parish website at www.st-louis.org/eucharistic-adoration
Viviendo Nuestra Fe
Siempre existe algún propósito para cada acción de Jesús Nuestro Señor. Nos muestra esto de nuevo en el evangelio de hoy. Mientras iba por Galilea enseñando y recibiendo alabanzas, eligió causar una conmoción en su propio pueblo de Nazaret. Es fácil imaginar a los demás en la sinagoga esperando que Jesús leyera las escrituras de acuerdo a la tradición. Cuando proclama Su identidad y Su misión de traer la buena nueva a los pobres, inválidos y los desamparados muchos estaban molestos al oír esto. Especialmente porque muchos presentes en la sinagoga lo conocían desde niño y como el hijo del carpintero. ¿Cuántas veces causa Jesús una conmoción a nuestro alrededor? ¿Ponemos atención? ¿O no lo tomamos en cuenta porque quizás trabaja a través de alguien que no esperamos?
