Gospel
Jonah 3.1-5, 10

in today’s first Scripture reading: “Speak Lord, for your
servant is listening”. Just try it with sincerity, starting

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR
CONSECRATED LIFE
On Thursday, February 2nd, the Church.
celebrates the World Day of
Prayer for Consecrated
Life. The purpose of this
day is to “help the entire
Church to esteem ever more greatly the witness
of those persons who have chosen to follow
Christ by means of the practice of the
evangelical counsels” as well as “to be a
suitable occasion for consecrated persons to
renew their commitment and rekindle the fervor
which should inspire their offering of themselves
to the Lord” – Pope John Paul II, 1997 message.
In the Archdiocese of Toronto we are blessed to
have living and serving among us more than
1,050 religious men and women of over 100
different religious congregations. This World
Day of Prayer for Consecrated Life is a
wonderful opportunity for us to thank God for the
gifts of these religious sisters, brothers and
priests and to pray for God’s blessing upon them
in their efforts to faithfully live the evangelical
counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience.
There will be a special Mass on Sunday,
January 29 at 3:00 p.m. at St. Paul’s Basilica
in celebration of the vocation and witness of
these special men and women religious who are
such a vital and important part of the life and
ministry of the Church in our Archdiocese.
All are welcome to attend.

LIGHTHOUSE CATHOLIC MEDIA CD’S
We often have very good intentions to
deepen our relationship with Jesus, but
life can be so busy. Lighthouse has a
number of excellent titles available. CDs
are $5 each or 5 for $20. There is also an
excellent book from Matthew Kelly, called
Rediscovering Catholicism. It can make a
wonderful gift for both someone who has
been away from the Church and those
who want to deepen their faith. The book
only costs $5.
