Year of Saint Joseph
Readings of the Day
RB: Ch 2:11-15
Mass: Heb 1:1-6; Resp Ps 97; Mk 1:14-20
The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice.
WITH YOU, O LORD, IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, AND IN YOUR LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT.
(Communion Antiphon, Mass)
Welcome to Ordinary Time! Let's not make it the same old, same old though. After all, 2021 is young. For today, and every day, we listen to Jesus's proclamation: The Kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel (Mk 1:15). As Jesus calls Simon and Andrew, James and John in today's Gospel, He calls us: Come, after me (Mk 2:17). Let's follow the Lord, more closely and more wholeheartedly. In what one simple way will you do just that today? 😊
It is striking that the Lord spent most of His time on earth living an ordinary life, without standing out. It is a beautiful message that reveals the greatness of daily life, the importance in God's eyes of every gesture and moment in life, even the most simple.
(Pope Francis, Twitter, January 11, 2021)
JOSEPH, MOST FAITHFUL,
PRAY FOR US.
