As [Jesus] was walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers,
Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea; they were fishermen. He said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers
of men." - Mt 4:18-19

PRAYER FOR
CHRISTIAN
UNITY
Our Father,
We seek you in so many ways and places in our life. We seek you for guidance
and for comfort.
But you have told us that when there is hunger, it is up to us to feed the hungry.
We ask you to help us
see you in other Christians and humbly ask you for strength in the search for what we have in common.
Bless our efforts to look at all the ways we are united in
faith, and grant us courage
to change our hearts and minds to realize your will.
We ask all this through Christ our Lord and brother, in the name of the Father,
and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.

Q. & A. OF THE WEEK
3rd SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
"He called them, and immediately they left their boat and their father and followed
him." Peter, Andrew, James, and John's lives would never be the same. They were going
about their usual business--fishing on the Sea of Galilee--when Jesus approached them
and said, "Come after me." And that's just what they did. "At once they left their nets
and followed him." Such a quick response to such a radical request!
What compelled these men to leave their livelihood to follow the Lord? His promise to them was that he would
make them "fishers of men." Perhaps they thought that promise sounded fabulous. But it seems more likely that
it was Christ himself who drew the men. There must have been something utterly attractive about him, and
completely trustworthy. Otherwise, it seems unbelievable that these men would have been so quick to respond
to his call.
This compelling man is the same Christ who calls us. We hear his voice in a different way, of course, through the
Church and through the Bible, through his Spirit in our hearts, but it is nonetheless the same Jesus of Nazareth
who asks us to follow him. Have we allowed ourselves to be drawn by his voice? Are we open to a real
encounter with the Lord who changes lives?
If our relationship with Jesus does not transform us, if it does not change us into different, better people moment
by moment and day by day, then chances are that we are not truly encountering him. He is too powerful to be
inconsequential. It might take some courage and commitment to come into authentic contact with the Lord,
but when we do, our lives will never be the same.
Q: January 25 is the feast of the
Conversion of St. Paul and the end
of the Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity. What does one have to do
with the other?
A: The Week of Prayer for Christian
Unity consists of eight days
beginning January 18, at that time
the feast of the Chair of Peter, and
ending on January 25, the feast of
the Conversion of St. Paul. The
Franciscan Friars of the Atonement,
founded in the early twentieth
century in Graymoor, NY, sought
to promote unity among Anglicans
and Roman Catholics. Paul James
Wattson, a former Episcopalian
priest, founded the community,
which was formally accepted
into the Catholic communion.
The idea for Christian unity soon
began to catch on, and by the
1930s, more and more Christians
welcomed such a focus.
Suggestions for prayer and
education are distributed each
year, emphasizing a jointly chosen
theme. The 1964 Vatican II
document on ecumenism, Unitatis
Redintegratio, gave a great boost
to the octave, so that today many
Christians worldwide promote and
participate in the octave time
of prayer.
The emphasis on both Peter and
Paul aptly fits into the rationale
of the octave. Peter is seen as the
source of unity within the Christian
tradition. Paul is highlighted due
to his vision of bringing all to Christ.
The Week of Prayer
for Christian Unity is
an ideal opportunity
to pray for and
promote respect,
understanding, and,
hopefully, eventual
unity among
Christians.

LIGHTHOUSE CD SWITCHING SIDES
Jennifer Fulwiler is a popular writer and speaker from Austin,
Texas, and frequently appears on Catholic radio and EWTN. In this eye-opening presentation,
she explains how her original support for abortion was based
on love (and lies). Through sound logic and scientific proof, Jennifer chronicles how she came to accept the truth
about abortion.
Camp FROST
DONATIONS: This January 28, Camp FROST will include a service project where our children will be creating gifts
for those in our community who utilize the Soup Kitchen services. Hats,
