Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:1-3
Paul sends greetings to the people of Corinth, who have been called to be holy and consecrated in Christ.
Gospel: John 1:29-34
When Jesus visits John, John recognizes Jesus as the “Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” John further indicates that Jesus is truly the Messiah and “God’s chosen One.”
JANUARY 15, 2017: SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
A FRESH PERSPECTIVE ON THE SUNDAY READINGS HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly Second Sunday in Ordinary Time - January 15, 2017 “But as I say, I did not recognize him. The one who sent me to baptize with water told me: ‘When you see the Spirit descend and rest on someone, it is he who is to baptize with the Holy Spirit.’ Now I have seen for myself, and have testified, ‘This is God’s chosen One.’ A logo or trademark makes it easy to recognize a product. The sari of St. Teresa of Calcutta or the gentle smile of Pope Francis leave no doubt of whom we speak. A familiar melody or words from the scripture often bring joy to our ears. They stay with us. When the Baptist said he did not at first recognize the Christ until another sign was offered, he kept on looking. I ask myself, where can I recognize Christ today? How can I discover Him? The saint of Calcutta found Him in the poor and abandoned. The Holy Father tells us He is out on the streets, in the poor, homeless and needy. Where do I look? Many young people give of themselves as Jesuit Volunteers, builders for Habitat for Humanity, Big Brothers and Sisters for our youth. These serve a dual role – they discover Christ and bring Him as well. It is kind of like a smile – something I give away and hold on to at the same time. May others recognize the Christ in me.
B ehold the
Lamb of God,
who takes away
the sins of the
world.
John 1:29

NEWS FROM THE COURT: The OLPH Ardsley 6th grade boys had a great start to the second half of the season after the much-needed Christmas break. The team traveled up to Pleasantville for an 8:00am game against Holy Innocents on Saturday morning. They came out strong with great effort
from all players and were able to beat the 1st place team by a score of 25-20. They kept the momentum going with another win against the visiting Transfiguration team on Sunday with a score of 28-15. The OLPH 6th grade boys are coached by Tom Anderson and Ken Curtin and are hoping to continue their winning streak.
The seventh grade girls CYO basketball team continues to shine with a record of 7-0. While these St. Matt’s girls have been outscoring their opponents, it is their strong defense that makes them such an all around force! Their teamwork, strong skills and dedicated coaches combine to create their success.
