Mass Intentions January 17 to January 25

Prayer for the Sick Father of goodness and love, hear our

prayers for the sick members of our com-munity and for all who are in need. Amid mental and physical suffering may they

find consolation in your healing presence. Show your mercy as you close wounds, cure illness, make broken bodies whole

and free downcast spirits. May these spe-cial people find lasting health and deliver-ance, and so join us in thanking you for all

your gifts. We ask this through the Lord Jesus who healed those who believed.

Amen.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening (1 Samuel 3:3b-10, 19). Psalm — Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will (Psalm 40). Second Reading — Your bodies are members of Christ; glorify God in your body (1 Corinthians 6:13c-15a, 17-20). Gospel — The first disciples saw where Jesus was staying and they stayed with him (John 1:35-42).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Uno de los muchos títulos dados a Jesús en los evangelios es el de Agnus Dei (Cordero de Dios). La imagen de un cordero no era extraña en la Palestina del

primer siglo cristiano, pues se encontraban ove-jas y pastores por todas partes. El cordero es la oveja de menos de un año. Es reconocido como símbolo de mansedumbre e inocencia en muchas culturas. Fue Juan Bautista quien le dio ese extraño título a Jesús (Juan 1:36). La imágen del cordero despertaba en los judíos, incluidos Jesús, Juan Bautista y los discípulos, la memoria de los céle-bres eventos del Éxodo. Cada año las familias judías escogían un corderito y lo preparaban para sacrificarlo en la Pascua. La mitad de la carne del sacrificio se ofrecía a Dios y la otra mitad se la comía la familia, de esta manera establecían una comunión con Dios. Designar a Jesús como Agnus Dei, era reconocer que él quitaría el pe-cado y que con su propia carne establecería una comunión entre Dios y la humanidad.
