Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
January 21st, 2006
St. Xavier Parish Home Page
Brothers and sisters, the Holy Spirit gathers us together on this Lord's Day to be fed at the table of the Word and Eucharist. Saint Paul tells us that if one part of the Body of Christ suffers, all the parts suffer with it. This is a day to rejoice in the fact that we are part of one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. As members of that Church we are united with all who put their trust in the Lord Jesus. As we prepare to celebrate today's Mass, let us be mindful of those members of the Body of Christ around the world who suffer.
Today we hear about the unrolling of two scrolls. For the Israelites, the scroll that contained the Law of the Lord was unrolled and read and the people bowed down in sadness as they cane to realize that they had not lived lives in accordance with God's Law. In today's Gospel Jesus opens the scroll of the prophet Isaiah, announcing that its prophecy has been fulfilled in him. As the sacred word is proclaimed today -- as our scroll that is our scripture is unrolled -- let us welcome words that call us to greater union with Christ Jesus.

This is a THANK YOU card we received from JC Birthline:
"St. Xavier Students & Faculty. Thank you very much for all the wonderful things you donated to Birth line. Our cupboards were bare and you more than filled them. We spent a lot of time arranging so we could have room for it all! What a wonderful problem to have. We are so thankful for your help. The looks on the parents faces when they received your gifts was awesome. God Bless you all.
