Gospel Acclamation: Alleluia, Alleluia! We have found the Messiah: Jesus Christ, who brings us truth and grace. Alleluia! Gospel: John 1:35-42 Here we have John’s account of the call of the first disciples. Reflection In the Gospel we will hear Jesus say to his first two disciples, ‘Come and see.’ They accepted his invitation and had an encounter with him which changed their lives. Each time we celebrate the Eucharist we have an opportunity to encounter the Lord. Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Let us confess our sins with humility, confident of his mercy. COMMUNITY MISSION St Agatha’s parish Please pray for our recently deceased: Joseph Rego, Sandra Hayne, Coie Gerrard, Katrina Dawson, Tori Johnson And for those whose anniversaries that occur at this time: Elizabeth Sharp, Margaret Williams, Gerard Williams, Alison Lloyd, Jean Van Rooyen, Jed Manning Please pray for the sick in our community: Juliet Bowron, Max O’Connor, John Swan, Aida Chan, Livio Carlie, Walter Watterson, Kevin O’Keefe Special intentions: Those living with addictions SYNOD on the Family Questionnaire Reflection The second Sunday of Ordinary time respects an old liturgical theme of celebrating different epiphanies or manifestations of Jesus. John shows us a gradual recognition of who Jesus is – through the testimony of John the Baptist and the confession of the first disciples. Here, John the Baptist calls Jesus ‘the Lamb of God,’ and Andrew calls him ‘the Messiah’. 6.30am Morning Mass The 6.30am Morning Mass at St Agatha’s will resume on Tuesday 27th January, 2015. SRE Ministry ( Catechists required) Would you like to respond to the call of Jesus to build His Church in an important ministry of sowing the seed of faith to children in our state schools? I will be holding a recruitment drive on the weekend of 17th/18th January please call Tina on 94841427 if you are interested in contributing to this ministry. Pope Francis and members of the Synod on the family invite you to offer your opinions and feedback on the questionnaire which is available at the following site: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/family-synod-2015 Official Prayer to the Holy Family for the Synod Jesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate The splendour of true love, to you we turn with trust. Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches. Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience violence, rejection and division: may all who have been hurt or scandalized find ready comfort and healing. Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Sunod of Bishops make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in God’s plan.
