SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR A) (vol.1, p.644)
GOD’S WORD FOR US TODAY
Reading 1: Isaiah 49:3, 5-6
I will make you the light of the nations so that my salvation may
reach the ends of the earth
Psalm: Psalm 39 Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.
Reading 2: 1 Corinthians 1:1-3 May God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ send you grace and peace
Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, alleluia! … Blessings on the King who comes, in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest heavens! … Alleluia!
Gospel: John 1:29-34 ‘Look: there is the Lamb of God’.
Reflect: The Jews chose a spotless lamb from their flocks to offer to God at Passover. Jesus is God’s preferred Victim, taking away all the sins of the world. What could we offer up to join our sufferings to those of Jesus?

HAVING OUR EYES OPENED
Ordinary Time, which, it could be argued, is anything but ordinary, continues to unfold. In doing so it opens our eyes as well as our other senses to the growing mystery, which is Christ, our Saviour, and His all-pervading, unconditional love for us.
PARISH COVERAGE
During the absence of Father Francis his duties are being carried out by Fr Javier from the Comboni Missionaries. He can be contacted on 07474 568 837. Fathers Vincent and Desmond of the SMMM Fathers (St Barnabas’ and St Mark’s) will take up these duties later. Please welcome and support their service.
