John 1:41-42 January 15, 2012 Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Dear John, The gospel story this Sunday gives us a beautiful image. Andrew meets Jesus, decides to follow Him. But first he goes to his brother Simon Peter and brings him to Jesus. If we really believe in Jesus as the Son of God, the Word of God, the Way, Truth and Life, then like Andrew, we should lead others to Jesus. How do we do this? First by our good example. “By this everyone will know you are my disciples, by your love for one another.” (John 13:35) In this New Year, may we let the Light – the Light of Christ – shine more brightly in our lives – so that others are led to the Light. |
Lord, You have called us to be Your witnesses to all the nations. Have mercy on us who have known Your will but failed to do it. Cleanse us from unbelief and sloth and fill us with hope and zeal, that we may do Your will and bear Your cross and see Your glory, who with the Father and the Holy Spirit are one God, world without end. Amen Rev. Peter Schineller, S.J., CMMB Board of Directors |
