Citing of the Week
"Only by harnessing the gifts in any situation as so many God-given levers will we see the capacity to respond."

FEAST OF JOHN, APOSTLE, EVANGELIST
Tell what you know
Each of us has firsthand knowledge of the presence of Christ in the world. First and foremost, in the bread and wine of the Eucharist. But not only there: We’ve experienced Christ in the community of the church. We’ve encountered Christ in the grace of many sacraments and received from his tender hands the forgiveness of our sins. We’ve known the love of Christ in faithful marriages and felt his healing touch in times of sickness and despair. And daily, we see Christ in the eyes of the poor. On this third day of Christmas, imitate the memorable testimony of Saint John, and tell others about your own encounters with Christ.
TODAY’S READINGS: 1 John 1:1-4; John 20:1a, 2-8 (697)
“What we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life.”
