The short period of liturgical Ordinary Time that falls between the seasons of Christmas and Lent may sometimes seem like a waiting time, or a season without a purpose. However, when you consider the 3 epiphanies that are revealed to us at Christmastime, then the Luminous Mysteries of the Rosary, or the Mysteries of Light, can be a wonderful bridge between seasons that will help enliven our Lent.

They review every match on this 5 hour epic show and give you background to the ins and outs of a truly Dramatic Dream event.

Read OnlineIt happened in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. On coming up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit, like a dove, descending upon him. And a voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”  Mark 1:9–11The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord concludes for us the Christmas Season and transitions us into the beginning of Ordinary Time. From a Scriptural point of view, this event in Jesus' life is also a transitional moment from His hidden life in Nazareth to the beginning of His public ministry. As we commemorate this glorious event, it's important to ponder a simple question: Why was Jesus baptized? Recall that John's baptism was one of repentance, an act by which he invited his followers to turn from sin and to turn to God. But Jesus was sinless, so what was the reason for His Baptism?First of all, we see in the quoted passage above that Jesus' true identity was made manifest through His humble act of baptism. “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased,” spoke the voice of the Father in Heaven. Furthermore, we are told that the Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove. Thus, Jesus' baptism is in part a public declaration of Who He is. He is the Son of God, a divine Person Who is one with the Father and the Holy Spirit. This public testimony is an “epiphany,” a manifestation of His true identity for all to see as He prepares to begin His public ministry.Second, by His baptism, Jesus' incredible humility is made manifest. He is the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, but He allows Himself to become identified with sinners. By sharing in an act that was focused upon repentance, Jesus speaks volumes through His action of baptism. He came to unite Himself with us sinners, to enter our sin and to enter into our death. By entering the water, He symbolically enters into death itself, which is the result of our sin, and rises triumphantly, allowing us to also rise with Him to new life. For this reason, Jesus' baptism was a way of Him “baptizing” the waters, so to speak, so that water itself, from that moment onward, would be endowed with His divine presence and could be communicated to all who are baptized after Him. Therefore, sinful humanity is now able to meet divinity through baptism.Lastly, when we share in this new baptism, through water that has now been sanctified by our divine Lord, we see in Jesus' baptism a revelation of who we become in Him. Just as the Father spoke and declared Him as His Son, and just as the Holy Spirit descended upon Him, so also in our baptism we become the adopted children of the Father and are filled with the Holy Spirit. Thus, Jesus' baptism gives clarity as to whom we become in Christian baptism. Lord, I thank You for Your humble act of baptism by which You opened the Heavens to all who are sinners. May I open my heart to the unfathomable grace of my own baptism each and every day and more fully live with You as a child of the Father, filled with the Holy Spirit.  Jesus, I trust in You.  Source of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2024 My Catholic Life!

Hey there food fans, we're back from the holidays and we missed you so much! It's time for Episode 91 of The Food For ThoughtCast. We couldn't wait to catch up with each other and see what happened over Christmas- and since we recorded this during the Christmas Season ( celebrate all twelve days, you cowards!) - we decided to take a look at Christmas dinners from around the world. Melissa is gefilte fish-curious and for some reason Steve is mad about tamales, but just kidding. Enjoy and we're so glad to be back. Thanks for listening, and for watching on YouTube! Download us and tell your friends, would ya?

The Cru gathers for their annual Christmas retreat a little later than usual (although, as our generous host, Spliff, was keen to point out- the Christmas Season ends with the Epiphany, and we're under the wire with that one!) We have January on the brain, so we dug into what the month has meant throughout Western history. We look forward, we look back, and we certainly enjoyed the present moment.Be sure to follow us on Instagram (if that's your sort of thing).

After celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior, it's easy to pack up the Christmas decorations for next year and move on with our lives, and put the story to bed until next year. There was a very intentional purpose for Jesus being born as a baby to come and live with us. We are the reason for the Christmas Season. It was because of our sins that Jesus had to come in the first place. One of the most important decisions we and our children will ever make is what we will do with Jesus Christ. As parents, one of our most important prayers is for our children's salvation.  We play an important role in where our children will choose to spend eternity. It is never something that should just be left to chance. In this episode, Tina is sharing the importance of praying for our children's salvation as well as giving you resources on how to pray and how to lead them to salvation in Jesus Christ.

DateJanuary 5, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we explore how God's faithfulness mirrors the constancy of stars in the night sky. Drawing on the Epiphany story of the magi following the star to Jesus, Pastor Brent illuminates how God's steady presence guides us through life's uncertainties and dark moments - just as celestial bodies have faithfully oriented travelers for millennia. Like the persistent star that led the wise men to an unexpected encounter with divine love, God's light remains constant, leading us to hope and revelation in surprising places.ReferencesScripture: Matthew 2:1–12 About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

"Hear, O heavens, and listen, O earth,  for the LORD speaks:  Sons have I raised and reared,  but they have rebelled against me.  An ox knows its owner,  and an ass,* its master's manger;  But Israel does not know,  my people has not understood.” Isaiah 1:2-3      Submit a Podcast Listener Question HERE!    CGSUSA Parent Pages HERE    "The events of Christ's infancy appear rather difficult due to the misuse that is generally made of them by often telling them (with many diminutives!) as if they were beautiful fables. The fact is that the infancy narratives, especially in Luke, are a type of “theological tapestry” - if it is possible to call them so- whereby the evangelist stresses the grandeur of the mystery he is announcing through a variety of techniques.” The Religious Potential of the Child, pg. 76    Marty O'Bryan joins us on the podcast to ponder how deep the scriptures during this season of Christmas are and the beautiful theological tapestry that weaves them all together throughout the whole Bible are.      Marty O'Bryan began her formation in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd with Sofia Cavalletti in 1983 and has been a catechists since 1985. She conducts adult formations at Levels I, II and III throughout the United States.

Instead it offers a glimpse into the religious life of the atrium, a specially prepared place for children to live out their silent request: “Help me come closer to God by myself.” Here we can see the child's spiritual capabilities and perhaps even find in our own souls the child long burdened with religious information. This book serves as a companion to the second volume, The Religious Potential of the Child 6 to 12 Years Old. The desire to have this essential text available in audio has been a long-held goal for many.

It's Friday, December 20th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes written by yours truly and heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. Texas Schools Removing the Bible from Libraries The head of a Texas school district says the Bible had to be removed from school libraries because of a new state law prohibiting explicit books. The Christian Post reports that Canyon Independent School District Superintendent Darryle Flusche announced in an email earlier this week that, under House Bill 900, which was passed by the Texas Legislature in 2023, parts of the Holy Bible are deemed unsuitable. House Bill 900 was passed for the purpose of protecting schools from sexually explicit or vulgar content. In an email to parents, Flusche stated the full text of the Bible had been removed because it was categorized under this mandate, even though portions of the Bible will remain available. He went on to say that “through strong connections with local churches they would be happy to donate a Bible upon request.” House Bill 900 defines sexually explicit material as “any communication, language or material that describes or depicts sexual conduct in a manner that is patently offensive under the Texas Penal Code.” Proverbs 30:5 – “Every word of God proves true; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.” Matthew 24:35 –Jesus said, “‘Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.'” TikTok Potential Ban in the US WNG.org reports that in a brief, two-page order, the high court on Wednesday agreed to hear TikTok's challenge to a federal law that could ban the social media and video-sharing platform in the United States. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act would implement a ban on January 19 unless China-based ByteDance, TikTok's parent company, sells TikTok's US operations. President Joe Biden signed the bill into law in April. The court scheduled oral arguments for Friday, January 10, nine days before the ban would take effect. Attorneys representing TikTok and U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland will have two hours to argue whether the legislation, as it applies to TikTok and ByteDance, violates the First Amendment. The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act received bipartisan support from lawmakers. Supporters of the law cite concerns that TikTok's overwhelming popularity and Chinese ownership create security and censorship issues. Proponents of the law are also concerned about China using the app to collect sensitive data on American users. Meanwhile, ByteDance argues that the law is unconstitutional and illegally singles out TikTok for legislative punishment, violating equal protection and due process principles. ByteDance also says the law violates the Constitution's Fifth-Amendment protections against uncompensated property seizure. Church Attendance During the Christmas Season Is Half and Half A Lifeway Research study finds US adults are split on whether they'll be at church sometime this Christmas season – 47 percent say they typically attend church at Christmastime, while 48 percent say they do not, and 5 percent aren't sure. Scott McConnell, executive director of Lifeway Research says, “The very name Christmas originates in the church's celebration of Jesus Christ's birth. In the mid-14th century, the words ‘Christ's Mass' were first merged as a single term for this celebration. While nine in ten Americans do something to celebrate Christmas, less than half typically attend church at Christmastime today.” Although that number is discouraging, the study goes on to show that many don't attend simply because they have not been invited. Fifty-six percent say they would likely attend church if someone they know invited them to attend at Christmastime. Hebrews 10:24-25 – “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” Missouri Man Found in Syria After Missing for 7 Months And good news for a family in Missouri! American citizen Travis Timmerman has been found in Syria after being unexpectedly detained for seven months while making a pilgrimage in an effort to deepen his Christian faith. Timmerman, a Missouri native, had been missing since June before resurfacing in a Damascus suburb. Timmerman was held in the notorious Sednaya prison, where the Syrian regime of President Bashar al-Assad has arbitrarily detained tens of thousands. He was released as rebels overthrew the Assad regime this month. He told reporters that he crossed mountains into Syria from Lebanon because he was on a religious pilgrimage influenced by his intensive Bible reading and desire to deepen his understanding of Christianity. His entry into Syria from Lebanon by foot, however, led to his arrest and subsequent imprisonment for several months. His detainment came to light only recently after Syrian rebel forces ousted Assad and the chaotic prison releases that followed. CBS News talked to Timmerman's sister Pixie Rogers, who says it's an amazing Christmas gift!   ROGERS: “This is a whole, huge Christmas present that we all get to hear. I told my mom this morning, I was like, ‘It's a Christmas miracle!' I know she is very, very ecstatic [and joyous], overwhelmed, and just beyond super excited. I probably will cry and just tear up, and just—I just, I can't wait for that day.” US officials, told the media that Timmerman had been transferred to Jordan following his release and was currently under the care of State Department officials, according to Reuters. He was initially handed over to US troops at Tanf garrison near the tri-border area of Syria, Iraq, and Jordan before being flown out via US military helicopter. During his captivity, Timmerman was isolated but not mistreated, but he could hear the sounds of other prisoners being tortured nearby.

Timmerie and Michael Gasparro explore a topic that hits home during the season: loving family members who may not follow Catholic teachings, without compromising your faith. The holidays can bring all the feels:  joy, nostalgia, awkwardness, and sometimes major family drama. But how do we handle those moments with grace?   Catch the whole hour here!   The Setup:   Timmerie starts it off by acknowledging that the holidays are a time for lights, generosity, and family… but also a minefield of tension. Think: judgment, unresolved debates, and that one uncle's political hot takes.   Oh, and don't forget the moral dilemmas: How do you love and welcome family living in “alternative lifestyles” while staying rooted in Catholic truth? (There's that inner conflict: "Am I endorsing this if I don't say something?")   The Model: Jesus at the Table   Michael reminds us how Jesus set the ultimate example: He ate with sinners and tax collectors, shocking society. His approach? Radical love for the person without compromising the truth. It's about seeing the God-given dignity in everyone, even when their choices don't align with Church teaching.   Key Takeaways for the Christmas Season:   Welcome Without Approval:   Inviting someone into your home doesn't mean endorsing their choices. Timmerie shares a personal example of growing up in a home where everyone was welcome, including family in same-sex relationships. Yet it was clear their lifestyle wasn't approved.   Kids can learn this balance, too! Loving others doesn't have to mean moral confusion.   True Compassion vs. Fearful Compassion:   Father Jacques Philippe's wisdom: True compassion trusts that God loves your loved ones more than you do. Acting out of fear: approving harmful choices just to avoid conflict, ends up causing more harm. Trust in God's plan!   Be a Witness of Love and Joy:   Sometimes, the most powerful witness isn't what you say, but how you live. Create a home full of peace, generosity, and hospitality. Let your actions reflect Christ's love.    Know When to Speak and When to Wait:   Not every moment is the right moment for a “come-to-Jesus” talk. Pray for the Holy Spirit to guide you on when to speak truth, or when just showing love is enough for now. Patience is key.   Protect Young Hearts Prudently:   When kids are involved, discernment is extra important. If a family member's behavior crosses respectful boundaries, it's okay to set limits to protect your children while still showing love to all.   The Bigger Picture: Delight in Others   Michael emphasizes the power of delighting in others: not in their choices, but in their God-given goodness. People are transformed by love, not by condemnation. As Timmerie says, being loved and welcomed can open hearts in ways debates never will.   Final Thoughts: Love Transforms   This Christmas, be bold in love and truth. Remember, welcoming someone doesn't mean you're compromising your faith: it's about reflecting God's love. With prayer, discernment, and hospitality, your home can be a place of joy that points others to Christ.    PSA: Prepare yourself for that awkward family moment with prayer… and maybe pie. Always pie.
