This Week’s Gospel Message

Thursday, January 14th, 2021

This week’s Gospel message for Sunday, January 17th is from John 1:35-42.

“John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, ‘Behold, the Lamb of God.’ The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.”

“Each person who receives a call in today’s readings needs an intermediary. Andrew followed Jesus because John the Baptist identified him as the Lamb of God. Then, Simon was brought to Jesus by Andrew. After their encounters, each one’s life is transformed, for each stays with the Lord and the Lord stays with each one.” Source: Pastoral Patterns, Winter 2020-2021

Saint Agnes, Virgin and Martyr (Memorial)Agnes was one of the most popular early Roman martyrs, and her feast has been celebrated on this day since the fourth century. She was martyred at a young age (twelve or thirteen) during a Roman persecution. Because of the connection of her name to the Latin word for lamb (agnus), she is often pictured with a lamb, which is also a reminder of her sacrifice and innocence.
