ANTHONY CHURCH IN YOUR WILL.2012 • 2013YEAR OF FAITHDIOCESE OF JOLIETCATECHISM CORNERIn this month of new possib<strong>il</strong>ities we celebrate theHoly Spirit, the giver of life and our Advocate whoguides us in truth. We celebrate the life of all God’speople, from conception to natural death, and all thetime in between where the Spirit infuses us with<strong>st</strong>rong faith, good works, and courage to proclaimthe Good News (ju<strong>st</strong> as the Spirit did in Acts 2:1‐47).We celebrate the gift of God’s Word, recorded in theHoly Scripture, which guides our lives and gives u<strong>st</strong>he opportunity to hear the voice of the Lord — andin “Dei Verbum” (Second Vatican Counc<strong>il</strong>), that encouragesall people of faith to keep close to theirhearts and minds every day of their lives.January 27:‘The Holy Spirit is ‘the principle of every vital andtruly saving action in each part of the Body.’ Heworks in many ways to bu<strong>il</strong>d up the whole Body incharity: by God’s Word ‘which is able to bu<strong>il</strong>d youup’; by Baptism, through which he forms Chri<strong>st</strong>’sBody; by the sacraments, which give growth andhealing to Chri<strong>st</strong>’s members; by ‘the grace of theapo<strong>st</strong>les, which holds fir<strong>st</strong> place among his gifts’; bythe virtues, which make us act according to what isgood; finally, by the many special graces (called‘charisms’), by which he makes the faithful ‘fit andready to undertake various tasks and offices for therenewal and bu<strong>il</strong>ding up of the Church.’ CCC, n. 798JANUARY PRAYER INTENTIONFor a greater respect for human life.
