FROM FR. KUNKEL
Nothing succeeds like success, but by the same
token, nothing breeds failure like failure. While all of us wish
to be more successful in life, past experience makes us well
aware of our limitations. No matter what we want to do for
ourselves or for others, we generally feel handicapped by lack
of talent, time, resources, motivation, or support.
Furthermore, burdens of past disappointments,
disillusionment, self-reproach, and guilt lie heavy on our
backs. It is often impossible to get ahead because there is so
much holding us back where we are.
In this weekend’s Gospel, John the Baptist points to Jesus
as “the Lamb of God, the One who takes away the sin of the
world.” That phrase at first seems odd. What could this
mean? What does it mean that Jesus takes away the sin of the
world? What is this “sin” and how does Jesus take it away?
And what does taking it away accomplish? Does this mean
that there is no more sin in the world? In practical terms, does
this have any relevant bearing on our lives?
It is obvious that sin has not been removed from the
world. If anything, it abounds all around us! This cannot,
then, be the meaning of John’s assertion that Jesus takes sin
away. Something much more subtle is actually indicated,
something tied in with the goal of John’s preaching. Both
Jesus and John called for conversion to a whole new way of
life. The success of this transformation, however, would
necessitate leaving the old way behind.
What we learn from the Baptist’s intriguing assertion is
that Jesus, as the Lamb of God, releases us from the burdens
of the past so that we are free to pursue a new course of life in
the future! We can never take advantage of opportunity if we
are anchored to the past. Nor are we really free to pursue a
better life for ourselves if we are burdened with guilt and self-
recrimination. We cannot move on to future goals if we keep
looking back on the past.
When we put aside our burdens, we are free to go
forward. When Jesus takes away sin, he is not condoning sin
or relieving us of personal responsibility for our sins; he is
encouraging us to lay our burdens down, get on with our lives,
and not get stuck with the baggage of the past! Think about
it!!
BAPTISM Through the Holy Waters of Baptism, we
welcome into St. Mary’s Faith

FORMED: The Catholic Faith on Demand
Have you wanted to be able to share more with others but felt
you were lacking in knowledge? We are excited to announce
that St. Mary’s has become a partner in an exciting 24/7 on-
line web based digital formation series called FORMED,
produced by the Augustine Institute and Ignatius Press. This
series is designed to help adults grow in their faith at all levels

access is FREE to all parishioners and their families
anywhere, anytime on computers, tablets, or phones. There is
also content for children!

OUTREACH MINISTRY The Christian Outreach Ministry would like to thank all of the parishioners who made donations for our Thanksgiving and Christmas food projects. Through your amazing generosity, we were able to serve 15 local families for Thanksgiving and 28 local families and 10 St. Edward’s families for Christmas. Overall, we served 37 adults and 37 children for Thanksgiving and 72 adults and 90 children for Christmas. A very special thanks goes to the 69 volunteers (a new Outreach record!) for Thanksgiving and the 38 volunteers for Christmas who helped sort and distribute the groceries and the Christmas gifts. All of your efforts were truly appreciated
by the families that we served.
RESPECT LIFE MINISTRY January – 3
rd month
Please see the following text on the 3rd “Little One” poster in
the vestibule of the church:
Third Month (size: about 3 inches)
The baby can now squint, swallow and move his tongue. He
sleeps and awakens. Fingernails and toenails form. He now
has his own unique set of fingerprints. Sensitive to touch, he
will tightly grasp an object placed in the palm of his hand. He
breathes amniotic fluid to help develop and strengthen the
respiratory system, but he gets the oxygen he needs through
the umbilical cord.
