Friday after Epiphany

Year of Saint Joseph

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 1:1-15 The Different Kinds of Monks

Mass: 1 Jn 5:5-13; Resp Ps 147; Lk 5:12-16

He sends forth His command to the earth; swiftly runs His word.

BELIEVE IN THE NAME OF THE SON OF GOD.
(1 Jn 5:13)

Following Jesus in today's Gospel, we withdraw to a deserted place to pray (Lk 5:16), or anyplace. Let us join the great crowds and listen to Him (Lk 5:15). Call on the Name, "Jesus". Speak to Jesus. Listen. With humility, "Jesus, 'if you wish', and believe, 'You can make me clean'" (Lk 5:12). I do will it, says the Lord, be made clean. (Lk 5:13).

A LIGHT HAS RISEN IN THE DARKNESS FOR THE UPRIGHT OF HEART; 
THE LORD IS GENEROUS, MERCIFUL AND JUST.
(Entrance Antiphon, Mass)

SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
