Today’s Gospel Reflection
First Reading: 1 Sm 3:3b-10, 19; * Psalm: Ps 40:2, 4, 7-10 * Second Reading: 1 Cor 6:13c-15a, 17-20 * Gospel: Jn 1:35-42
THE LAMB OF GOD “Behold the Lamb of God!” We hear this phrase every Sunday at Mass, but there’s a good chance that many Roman Catholics do not know who in the Bible originally spoke it. The phrase appears only in the Gos-pel of John, on the lips of John the Baptist, who utters it twice. In today’s Gospel reading, John proclaims Jesus as the Lamb of God, and two of John’s own disciples then follow Christ. A little bit later Andrew, who heard John and then followed Jesus, brings his brother Simon to be re-named Cephas, or Peter. A careful look at these Bible verses shows us the mission of everyone baptized into the Body of Christ: we must always proclaim our faith in Christ, so that others will follow him. We may not know how the will of God might work through those we bring to Christ; that is not the point. The point is that our ongoing mission as a church is to bring others to Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Dear Parishioners and friends, BEHOLD, THE LAMB OF GOD! John’s introduction was a simple declaration: “Behold, the Lamb of God.” The two disciples immediately responded. Jesus sensed their willing hearts and invited them to follow him. Do you sometimes wish that recognizing the Lord would be so straightforward in your own life? Would it not be wonderful if a friend could point to Christ with certainty? While we do not always have such a clear sense of God’s presence with and within us, we do have a regular opportunity to encounter Christ, in the celebration of the Mass. Like the disciples, we too hear, “Behold the Lamb of God.” After the consecration, just before we receive Holy Communion, the priest raises the host and says, “Behold, the Lamb of God. Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.” It is like having a friend point the way to the Lord for us. Here is Christ, ready for us to receive his Body and his Blood, to enter into deep communion with him, and to live our lives as his disciples. Nourished in word and sacrament, we are called to point the way to the Lord as witnesses to Christ’s love.
HERE I AM. SPEAK, FOR YOUR SERVANT IS LISTENING! The Lord does not only call people like Samuel and the two disciples. God calls each of us. We must be attentive to God’s presence in prayer, sacred scripture, the sacraments, interactions with others, the beauty of creation. We are to grow in willingness to respond, to live as God’s people in the daily circumstances of our lives. Eli’s guidance to Samuel is for us as well: with an open heart and mind, we do well to say to God, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” Like the two disciples in today’s Gospel, we must be ready to set aside whatever might stand in the way of our relationship with Christ and our Chris-tian living. It was more than Simon’s name that changed. The disciples discovered in Jesus a new way of life, and they shared the good news of this life with all. Tom Schmidt, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Religious Education
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION “Ordinary Time” began for us this week. On the old calendar, the feast of the Presentation, still more than two weeks away, was the last day of the Christmas season. Sadly, Bethlehem is hardly a place of peace on earth these days. The ancient Christian community has been largely uprooted by political strife. The Church of the Nativity stands (barely) in remarkable disrepair and disorder in Manger Square. The roof is crumbling, the major doorways are blocked, the wiring is faulty, and the worship life is disrupted by quarrels among Eastern Christians. The church was founded by the Emperor Constantine in 325, destroyed in a Samaritan revolt in 539, and rebuilt by the Emperor Justinian. When the area came under Muslim control in 638, the holiness of the church was respected, and in return Christians allowed Muslims to pray in the south aisle, a right still upheld. Earlier in that century, invading Persians were ordered to destroy all churches, but when they saw the magi carved over the doorway of the Church of the Nativity, they spared it out of respect for their ancestors who bore gold, frankincense, and myrrh to the same city. The Crusaders restored and redecorated the church by the twelfth century, and it is their plan that survives. Down a few stone steps is a stone grotto with a silver star marking the place of Christ’s birth: when the star was stolen in 1847 it triggered an international crisis that exploded into the Crimean War. Since 1852, the church has been shared by the Roman Catho-lic, Greek Orthodox, and Armenian Churches. The Greeks are in charge of the grotto, but don’t enjoy the best of friendships with the Armenians. Catholics have the care of the Chapel of the Manger, and avoid the squabbles by a separate entrance to the Franciscan monastery church of St. Catherine. Pray for peace in Bethlehem! —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

A STEWARDSHIP PRAYER for the New Year \
Loving and merciful God, You are the Lord of new begin-nings. You sent us Your Son so that we may begin anew and enjoy new life in Your Spirit. We ask you to bless this new year, to guide and direct our plans, and to show us how to find the resources necessary to carry out these plans. Give us the wisdom to take advantage of opportunities we may have to help and serve others, to bring peace to the hearts of those who are troubled, and hope to those who suffer. Help us approach this new year as good stewards of your abundant gifts, with an awareness of your daily presence, and the obedient spirit we need to be your faithful servants. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.
FOLLOWING JESUS by Leisa Anslinger, author and co-founder of
Catholic Strengths and Engagement Community (CSEC)
We follow all sorts of people and organizations on social media. Friends. Celebrities. A favorite author, athlete, charity, or busi-ness. At times, we may think before following: do we want the additional postings or emails? Typically, following a business or celebrity does not require much of a commitment. We may or may not read every post that comes through on our feed. We might respond, or we may not. Even when we do, our response is often as simple as hitting the “like” button. Following Jesus is a very different sort of thing. To follow Jesus means to enter into a relationship with him and to exercise good stewardship over that relationship. When Jesus asks us to follow him, we know that doing so is to have an impact in our lives. As with any friendship, if our relationship with Jesus is to grow, we will have to spend time with and pay atten-tion to him. At first, this might mean taking a few moments at the beginning or end of each day for prayer. We may be more attentive during Mass; we may pause in the midst of our day’s activities to notice the beauty of creation, the blessing of family and friends, the gift of kindness and patience shared among co-workers. The best of friends also influence each other, for the better. Growing in relationship with Jesus will change us, leading us to think of others as well as ourselves, often putting the needs of others first. We learn to be mindful of those who need to know God’s love through our actions, serving them, sharing forgiveness, mercy, compassion, and faith. How will you follow Jesus now and into the future? How will you learn from and invite him to have an impact in your life? How will your stewardship of this relationship impact the way you live?
Following Jesus is the work of a lifetime. At every step forward, one is challenged to go further in accepting and loving God’s will. Being a disciple is not just some-thing else to do, alongside many other things suitable for Christians; it is a total way of life and requires con-tinuing conversion (Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response, p. 15).
A STEWARDSHIP MOMENT
Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Weekend of January 13/14, 2018
Christian stewardship begins with the call to discipleship and in today’s Gospel we discover those first individuals who sought out Jesus and wanted to listen to him, learn from him and stay with him. Today, Christian stewards search out the hidden presence of Jesus in their own lives every day. They know Christ is the “Messiah” who will one day bring about a perfect restoration to a troubled world. They further understand that they are sacraments of his hidden presence in the world. Their task is to make that reality known through their own words and actions. What is one thing we can do to be better stewards of Christ’s life in us? - International Catholic Stewardship Council, Parish Enews, January 2018

Refleciones del Evangelio
CORDERO DE DIOS “Este es el Cordero de Dios”. Escucha-mos esta frase todos los domingos en la Misa pero es muy probable que muchos católicos no sepan quién la pronunció originariamente en la Biblia. La frase aparece en el Evangelio de Juan, en los labios de Juan Bautista a quien dice dos veces. En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Juan proclama que Jesús es el Cordero de Dios y entonces dos de los discípulos de Juan siguen a Cristo. Un poco más tarde Andrés, quien escuchó a Juan y si-guió a Jesús, lleva a su hermano Simón para que reciba un nuevo nombre: Kefás, es decir Pedro. Si estudiamos a fondo estos versí-culos de la Biblia vemos la misión de todos los bautizados en el Cuerpo de Cristo: Siempre debemos proclamar nuestra fe en Cris-to, para que otros lo sigan. Quizás no sepamos de qué manera la voluntad de Dios obrará en los que llevamos a Cristo, pero eso no es lo importante. Lo que importa es que nuestra misión constante como Iglesia es llevar a otras personas a Cristo, el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Su cuerpo es templo del Espíritu Santo. — 1 Corintios 6:19

Segunda lectura — Tu cuerpo es un templo del Espíritu Santo; por tanto glorifica a Dios en tu cuerpo (1 Corintios 6:13-15, 17-20).
