A reading from the Second letter of Saint Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians (10: 1-11)
Yourblessings Father
Brothers and sisters,
I myself, Paul, appeal to you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ I who am
humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away! I ask that
when I am present I need not show boldness by daring to oppose those who think we are
acting according to human standards. Indeed, we live as human beings, but we do not
wage war according to human standards; for the weapons of our warfare are not merely
human, but they have divine power to destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and
every proud obstacle raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought
captive to obey Christ. We are ready to punish every disobedience when your obedience is
complete. Look at what is before your eyes. If you are confident that you belong to Christ,
remind yourself of this, that just as you belong to Christ, so also do we. Now, even if I
boast a little too much of our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for
tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of it. I do not want to seem as though I am trying
to frighten you with my letters. For they say, His letters are weighty and strong, but his
bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible. Let such people understand that
what we say by letter when absent, we will also do when present.
Praise be to God always.
Keep in touch!

Gospel (John 1: 29-34)
The Apostles said: The next day he saw
Jesus coming toward him and declared,
Here is the Lamb of God who takes
away the sin of the world! This is he of
whom I said, After me comes a man
who ranks ahead of me because he was
before me. I myself did not know him;
but I came baptizing with water for this
reason, that he might be revealed to
Israel. And John testified, I saw the
Spirit descending from heaven like a
dove, and it remained on him. I myself
did not know him, but the one who sent
me to baptize with water said to me, He
on whom you see the Spirit descend and
remain is the one who baptizes with the
Holy Spirit. And I myself have seen and
have testified that this is the Son of
God.
This is the truth. Peace be with you.
POPE FRANCIS. GENERAL AUDIENCE
Saint Peter's Square
Wednesday, 8 January 2014
Dear Brothers and Sisters: Today we begin a series of
catecheses on the sacraments, starting with baptism. The
Second Vatican Council tells us that the Church herself is a
sacrament, a grace-filled sign which makes Christs saving
work present in history, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
The first of the Churchs seven sacraments, baptism gives
us new birth in Christ, makes us sharers in the mystery of
his death and resurrection, grants the forgiveness of sin and
brings us new freedom as Gods children and members of
his Church. Let us not forget the great gift we have received.
Our baptism has changed us, given us a new and glorious
hope, and empowered us to bring Gods redeeming love to
all, particularly the poor, in whom we see the face of Christ.
Our baptism has also given us a share in the Churchs
mission of evangelization; as disciples, we are also
missionaries. As we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of
the Lord this Sunday, let us ask him to renew in us the grace
of our baptism and to make us, with all our brothers and
sisters, true children of God and living members of his body,
the Church.
