First Reading: 1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19
This powerful story describes Samuel, who at
the time was the servant of the high priest. The
Lord called out to Samuel, who twice thought
Eli had called him. They gradually realized that
it was the Lord who called for him. So the third
time Samuel answered and the Lord remained
with Samuel as he grew.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a,
17-20
Paul explains to the Corinthians that their body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit. He tells them to
avoid lewd conduct, and glorify God by keeping
their bodies pure.
Gospel: John 1:35-42
John told two of his disciples that Jesus is the
Lamb of God. They turned and followed him,
immediately curious and attracted to him.
Andrew told his brother Simon about Jesus.
Simon also came to meet Jesus, who renamed
him Cephas, or Peter.

January Book Rack
Be A Blessing – This book shows how biblical
texts can transform their reads into meeting places
of heaven and earth, holy places from which God’s
gifts flow into the world and renew everyday life.
The Parish in Catholic Tradition – The structure
and functioning of the local church by an eminent
canon lawyer.
God First Loved Us – A profound reflection on the
unconditional nature of God’s love, and the difficulty
we have in accepting it.
Spiritual Reflection on Stewardship
“Jesus turned and saw them following him and said
to them, ‘What are you looking for?” – John 1:38
What are you looking for? Are you wasting your
time looking for the material comforts of the world?
Or, is your heart longing for something deeper that
can only be found by spending time with God?
Take time, each day, in silence and ask the Lord
what it is that He wants you to do.
Annual Men’s Weekend Retreat

the sense of the reality of God, and to grow in the
precious gift of faith. The men of the parishes in
the Northern Valley are invited to join their brothers
in Christ on retreat the weekend of February 20-22,
2015. The retreat begins at dinner on Friday night
and ends after lunch on Sunday. If the weekend
