of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that
I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the
end of the age. (Mt 18:19-20)”

What's
the Matter?
 |
Msgr.
Arnhols |
By
Msgr. Richard J. Arnhols
Today’s Question: What must I do to be saved? (Acts
16:30) Jesus said in Mark 1:15, “Repent and believe in the Gospel.”
John 3:16 and 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 (as well as many other sources)
say that God gave His Son to die for our sins. By believing in Him
we have eternal life. Could this then be the simple answer to the
above question? As it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”
Am I missing something? Is there anything more than faith in Jesus
and love toward all? – Tom Blake

Andrew Kaczynski
On Jan. 9 we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord. Through our
own baptism each of us is given a share in the discipleship
of Jesus. In the context of our Christian lives, what does this
really mean, what are we supposed to do as His disciples, and
how does stewardship enter into this?

Prayer
and encouragement key in discerning the call
By Ward Miele
Although subtle at times, God’s call to the priesthood is
eventually heard loud and clear.
The experiences of three men at various levels of study at Immaculate
Conception Seminary on the campus of Seton Hall University, South
Orange, followed a typical but often-winding path toward making
the joyous decision to serve the Lord and His people for a lifetime.
