This Week's Scripture Readings

 January 19

Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
 

Isaiah 49:3, 5-6
You are my servant, Israel, through whom I show my glory.
1 Corinthians 1:1-3
Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God...
John 1:29-34
“The reason why I came baptizing with water was that he might be made known.”

Questions for Reflection:

• Consider your top ten achievements. Do these spell out your purpose?
• Are you “doing your best to follow Jesus”? Or are you “all in” as an apostle, one sent by God to do the will of God?
• Consider those who are killed in the service of their calling: aid workers, soldiers, journalists. What risks are you willing to take to answer your call?

Readings for Next Week:

• Isaiah 8:23-9:3;

• 1 Corinthians 1:10-13, 17;

• Matthew 4:12-23
