This week, as we return to Ordinary Time, we hear John the Baptist declare Jesus to be the Lamb of God, the one who takes away the sins of the world. But have those words become just that – words that are often heard but not often believed? What do those words really mean to us – in our heart of hearts? If we really have God as our strength, if we really believe that we should be a light to the world, why don’t we always act like that? Saint Paul reminds the people in Corinth, and by extension us as well, that we are all called to be saints. So, why aren’t we?
This week's readings:
Gospel – John 1: 29-34
1st Reading – Isaiah 49: 3, 5-6
