Reminder for the 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 22, 2023

Isaiah 8:  The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of gloom a light has shown.

Corinthians 1:  Christ did not send me to baptize but to preach the gospel, and not with the wisdom of human eloquence, so that the cross of Christ might not be emptied of its meaning.

Matthew 4:  …Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has risen.

  • The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, February 1, 2026

    Zephaniah 2: But I will leave as a remnant in your midst a people humble and lowly, who shall take refuge in the name of the LORD: the remnant of Israel.
    1 Corinthians 1:  It is due to him that you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, as well as righteousness, sanctification, and redemption, so that, as it is written, “Whoever boasts, should boast in the Lord.”
    Matthew 4: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land. … “

     


    And while you go through life, know how wonderful it is that you’re going at all. Baby mosquito, the story tells, came back after its first time flying. Its mother asked, “Well, how do you feel?” And baby mosquito answered, “It was wonderful! Everyone was clapping for me.” Go on and on and on. Don’t quit.

    Sirach 3: God sets a father in honor over his children;  a mother’s authority he
    confirms over her sons.

    Colossians 3: And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
    Matthew 2:  Joseph rose and took the child and his mother by night and departed for Egypt. He stayed there until the death of Herod, that what the Lord had said through the prophet might be fulfilled, Out of Egypt I called my son.
