Second Sunday in Ordinary Time - January 18, 2026


Today we are reminded to listen for Jesus' call to follow him.  Isaiah realized God's call of service, referring to himself as God's servant, commissioned to proclaim God's salvation to the ends of the earth.  Paul recognized that God willed him to be an apostle and today we hear him tell the members of the church in Corinth that God calls them to be holy.  John the Baptist points to Jesus as the Lamb of God and Son of God, the one to follow instead of him.  May we listen for his call so that we may respond, "Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will."
