This Sunday, we celebrate the baptism of Christ in the Jordan. This is the second epiphany, or manifestation, of the Lord. The past, the present, and the future are made manifest in this epiphany.
Dr. Deni Mack reflects on this week's readings. The Magi brought gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the infant Jesus. What gifts do we bring to our King?
What are the fruits of our labor? Are we rich in what matters to God, or are we storing up treasure for ourselves? Deni unpacks the rich lessons in this week's readings.
We welcome Sr. Barbara Baker as a new writer for our weekly Gospel Reflections. Sr. Barbara is the RCIA coordinator for both Assumption and Resurrection parishes. This week, she takes a look at Martha and Mary, and what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus.
"I will follow you wherever you go." (Luke 9:57) Deni reflects on the meaning of commitment and asks how we can strengthen our commitment in our relationship with Jesus.
