WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH Today's Gospel story of John and his disciples seeing and following Jesus sounds so simple and casual, it's easy to miss the significant acts of faith that are made. John points to Jesus: "Look," he says, "there is the Lamb of God." John's faith in Jesus is evident, so evident that John's disciples immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus. The two disciples make their own act of faith. They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are quick to spread the good news of their discovery: "We have found the Messi-ah." It is easy to forget that the expectations of generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by the prophets, had finally come. Nearly every-one among the Jewish people was watching for the Messiah back then; who in our own society watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah today? Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

GOD'S WORD TODAY "Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will." This refrain from today's responsorial psalm is a fit-ting mantra for all believers as Ordinary Time opens before us. The first reading recounts the story of Samuel, who is told by Eli to respond to the Lord's call with the words "Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening." The Gos-pel passage today recounts the call of the first disciples, who declare that they have found the Messiah. This wonderful set of scripture read-ings reminds us to stand ready to listen to the call of the Lord Jesus. As these words are pro-claimed today, let us make the words of the psalmist our own and declare that we are open once again to the invitation to become more dedicated disciples of the Lord.
