Third Sunday of Ordinary Time- January 21, 2007
WEEK OF PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY

Jesus knew clearly what His mission in life was. “ The Spirit of Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim release to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” Do we know our purpose in life? Everyday we should ask God to show us His will for each day.

O God, who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to establish Your Holy Church, throughout the world, we earnestly beseech You to choose from amongst our people many priests deacons, religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote their entire lives in making you known & loved by all. Through the intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

JOKES

Two boil weevils grew up in South Carolina. One went to Hollywood and became a famous actor. The other stayed behind in the cotton fields and never amounted to much - he became known as the lesser of two weevils. ☺

Two Eskimos sitting in a kayak were chilly, so they lit a fire in the craft. Unsurprisingly it sank, proving once again that you can’t have your kayak and heat it too. ☺☺
