Call the Office.. . . . 587-3388 WORLD MEETING OF FAMILIES Theme for January: The Meaning of Human Sexuality The tangible, earthly, corporal world is more than inert matter or modeling clay for the human will. Creation is sacred. It has sacramental meaning. It reflects God’s glory. That includes our bodies. Our sexuality has the power to procreate, and shares in the dignity of being created in the image of God. We need to live accordingly. . 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time January 18, 2015 SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME First Reading: 1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20 Gospel: John 1:35-42 FOCUS OF TODAY’S READINGS: Sharing in Christ’s Work ~ Being a follower of Christ isn’t something we do just with our minds, or even with heart and mind together; we follow Christ with body, mind and spirit.
