Stewardship Moment: “John tried to prevent him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, yet you are coming to me?’” Matthew 3:14 The Catholic Catechism states that “Jesus’ immersion in the water is a sign for all human beings of the need to die to themselves to do God’s will.” In other words, as baptized Catholics there is only one gift that we need to give to Jesus – the gift of ourselves. Surrender yourself to God, place your trust in Him and allow the Holy Spirit to work through you for the greater glory of God.
 

Made For Greatness Winter Men’s Retreat: Rise Up To Greatness: January 23-25, 2026, Maryvale Retreat Center, Valley City. While every man is called to, and in fact desires, greatness, the challenge is not only finding out what that looks like for them, it is also that the goal post keeps moving. What manly greatness looks like as a young single man is different than what it is as a married man, a husband, or even an empty nester. Former Protestant pastor turned Catholic evangelist Keith Nester will assist men to identify what greatness God is uniquely calling them to at their own stage of life. In addition to practical real-life insights, there also will be times to meet the Lord God in prayer and the sacraments, as well as opportunities for rejuvenation.

I would like to ask you a question: How many of you pray to the Holy Spirit every day? Probably few, but we must satisfy this desire of Jesus and pray every day to the Holy Spirit, so that he opens our
heart towards Jesus. Pope Francis
