Matthew 2:1-12

Transformation Tuesdays

Transformation Tuesdays was inspired by the CD "The Jesus Question" by Matthew Kelly. We recap the Gospel from the prior Sunday and give action steps and resources to transform our lives for that week every Tuesday at 2 p.m. at Morris Hall. Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: Hello, I’m Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione Aaron Emig: And I’m Aaron Emig We are celebrating the Epiphany of the Lord… The Question for the week is… What……Who are you seeking in life? This week’s Gospel comes from: Matthew 2:1-12 Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: We hear this gospel about these 3 seekers. Wise men, 3 Kings whatever you may call them. They were seeking the Lord. Maybe they didn’t even know what or who they were looking for at the time. Sometimes we’re seeking happiness or fulfillment, and sometimes we’re looking in all kinds of places. When in reality it is only in Jesus, our Lord and New Born King, that we find true and lasting Happiness. The Real Wise men and women are those who still seek him. Aaron Emig: The magi followed the star to find Jesus with his mother Mary and father Joseph… Just like the magi was guided by the star…we too can be guided every day to Jesus… And we can do that through the Holy Spirit… The Holy Spirit is the One that puts that burning desire in your heart to accomplish great things in your lives… We just need to open our hearts to Him every day so He would lead us to Jesus… Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: Many people are seeking to improve their life in some way by making new year’s resolutions. Lose Weight Pay Off Debt Get more exercise Those are all good things but are they gonna get you to heaven? Here’s a resolution that is worth making and sticking with. To make God a more important part of our life this year than He was last year. Aaron Emig: Again…it might sound like a broken record…but we need to get back to the basics… And that is the daily scripture…every day the Holy Spirit can lead us to Jesus… We need just to ask and open our hearts and our minds to the Word of God… Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: Wisdom Words for the Week You know if you make a resolution to lose weight, pay off debt or get more exercise… those may be good things but either you do or you don’t. And it is certainly a good thing if you make a resolution to make God the #1 priority in your life …. either you do or you don’t. What……Who are you seeking in life? Aaron Emig: Transformation Tool “The Jesus Question” CD from Matthew Kelly He talks about how God created us for happiness…how’s that working out for you? Matthew mentions if we don’t do anything else in our lives…the one thing is to get to know the Shepherd Free copies at Morris Hall on Tuesdays at 2 p.m. Only while supplies last Aaron Emig: Transformation Tuesdays Prayer…“Jesus, how do You want me to transform my life today?” Deacon Jimmy Ghiglione: God Bless from Ss.
