If you know your faith well, we have thousands of people who need

feel abandon. Or they simply need a friend to talk to. Priests are
busy and they cannot support every call due to their heavy work
load schedule. As a team member, you get to bring joy and hope to
people who have sent us prayer requests or sign up to volunteer.
You can give them encouragement and you can teach them to be strong
and to pray with us. And more important you become friends with
God's favorite children : those who are suffering. If you would
like to be part of our phone evangelization team, we love to hear

| REFLECTIONS |
 “Jesus’
Baptism”
Why did Jesus, the sinless one sent from the Father in heaven,
submit himself to John’s baptism? John preached a
baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Luke
3:3). In this humble submission we see a foreshadowing of
the “baptism” of Jesus bloody death upon the
cross. Jesus’ baptism is the acceptance and the beginning
of his mission as God’s suffering Servant (Isaiah
52:13-15; 53:1-12). He allowed himself to be numbered among
sinners. Jesus submitted himself entirely to his Father’s
will. Out of love he consented to this baptism of death
for the remission of our sins. Do you know the joy of trust
and submission to God?
