2nd Sunday of the Year

 

Answering God’s Call

 

The disciples asked Jesus 'where do you live?' He replied 'come and see'. One of the most beautiful truths of our faith is found in the promise that Jesus made to us "where two or three are gathered in my name I am there with them." It is an answer for us to the question that the disciples asked. Jesus lives in our community with one another because of our baptism. He lives in every married couple because of the sacrament they share. He lives in every home because of the love that bonds us to one another as parents with children, as sisters and brothers. The significance of our parish is that it is not merely a place where we worship but is a real presence of Christ in our world. We will only see him in all these special places in so far as we answer his call to love God with our whole heart and to love one another as he loves us.

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Readings in the Parish Missal - Parish Missal pp 415 & 1008

 

First Reading Samuel 3: 3-10, 19
The Lord then came and stood by, calling as he had done before, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel answered, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.”

 

Second Reading 1 Corinthians 6: 13-15, 17-20
Your bodies are members making up the body of Christ.

 

Gospel John 1: 35-42
John’s disciples asked Jesus, “Where do you live?” He answered, “Come and see”. What questions would we ask Jesus and how important would they be to our lives?
