FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

"Astonishment at the catch of fish they had made seized him and all those with him, and likewise James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were partners of Simon. Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men."

Luke 5:9-10

NEW YEAR PRAYER
Gracious God, in giving us Jesus, You have forever changed our human destiny. Through Christ's birth, preaching, and healing, You show us how to live as Your sons and daughters. By Christ's death and resurrection, You breathe new hope within us, reconcilling and renewing us. Heal us of our brokenness, so that as one holy people, we might be a light to the nations, bringing Your peace to the world, preparing us for the return of Your Son who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever, Amen

PARISH PRAYER

Dear Jesus, Help us to remember that St. Louise is our parish that is composed of all types of people, all of which are children of God. Its pews will be filled, if we help fill them. It will do great work, if we work. It will make generous gifts to many causes, if we are generous. It will bring other people into its fellowship, if we bring them. St. Louise will be a Church of loyalty, love, faith, and noble spirit, if we who make it what it is, are filled with these qualities. Therefore, with the help of God, we shall dedicate ourselves to the task of being all the things that we want our Church to be.
