Today we celebrate the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. This Sunday focuses our caution on the credibility of the Gospel of St. Luke. The author tells us that in his Gospel he wrote everything that he already knew, and everything that he could collect, about the life of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, using information, great and small, that the Christian community gave him. Everything that he collected he placed in one book, describing all that was true about the life, passion and death of our Redeemer.
In the beginning of Ordinary Time – the period in which we consider the life and actions of Jesus we have the first manifesto of Jesus in the Synagogue in Nazareth in his hometown.
The Eucharist is the one moment when we meet Jesus and we can listen to His words. Jesus manifests today that he is the messenger of the good news to the poor. Our duty today is to hear the Word of God and after this go and proclaim the good news to all people who are really poor.

Announcements
- Thank you for the help to Tim Ratajczak to took the manger down. God bless you.
- Ash Wednesday Mass will be on Wed. Mar 2, 2022 at 7:00PM. We will start by that the Lent Season.

- Evangelization is in no small part about accessibility. Make your parish accessible; make the extra effort. Like the young Samuel, let your first priority be a basic one: Open the temple doors.
- Our free act must not only have a purpose, they must have the right purpose. And we must have a conscience that teaches us how to choose the right purposes. Conscience is the light by which we interpret the will of God in our own lives.(Thomas Merton – No Man is an Island)
- My Warmly Thank You to all of the people who remember of me and my family by the presents and the donations. Be sure that you are in my prayers before the Alter.
