II DOMENICA DEL TEMPO ORDINARIO/ A
GIOVANNI VEDENDO GESÙ DISSE: “ECCO L’AGNELLO DI DIO”
TERMINATO il tempo natalizio, in cui siamo stati nuovamente invitati dalla liturgia a contemplare e
meditare in particolare il mistero dell’incarnazione del Verbo, questa domenica del Tempo Ordinario
estende in un certo modo il mistero dell’Epifania, cioè della manifestazione di Gesù: egli è stato
riconosciuto dai Magi, si è manifestato come il Figlio eletto nel Battesimo al fiume Giordano, Giovanni
oggi lo riconosce ed annuncia come “l’Agnello di Dio, colui che toglie il peccato del mondo” (Vangelo).
La missione di Gesù Cristo non è solo quella di porsi come il servo del Signore, di essere portavoce della
Parola e della volontà di Dio per l’umanità, ma soprattutto quella di “portare la salvezza finoall’estremità
della terra” (I Lettura).
È solo Cristo che può togliere dal cuore dell’uomo la radice di ogni male, cioè il peccato, perché se lo è
addossato e lo ha portato su di sé fino ad inchiodarlo sulla croce. Al cristiano, rinato nella santità
battesimale, spetta il compito, come Giovanni Battista, di testimoniare questa salvezza, perché ogni uomo
possa trovare, nonostante tutto, un porto di speranza e di felicità autentica ed eterna. Tiberio Cantaboni
2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
WHAT IS a purpose-driven life? Sometimes, the meaning only becomes clear after an experience makes us look back at seemingly
unrelated decisions that made us who we are. It’s that “ah-ha” moment.
The gospel today describes John the Baptist’s “ah-ha” moment. Until that day, John had been following a path he couldn’t quite see
clearly, wandering the wilderness, preaching of the Son of God whom he might never even meet in flesh.
John was a recluse who attracted a huge following. These followers believed his wrath-inflicting Messiah would be the political ruler they
had been waiting for. But the meaning of John’s life decisions became clear in his meeting with Jesus. The heavens literally opened and
God spoke to him! Jesus’ ministry would be non-political and characterized by love. Jesus was the one for whom John was preparing the
way, and John’s future was forever changed by Jesus.
The purpose of our lives may not always be as dramatically revealed to us as John’s was by God. Some of us may feel lost, wandering in
our own wilderness. But recognizing the need to search is the first brave step toward finding that purpose. In that search we, like John,
may meet Jesus by our own river bank. It is an encounter that will radically change our future. Saskia Sivananthan, Vancouver, BC

An early reminder that the month of January has fifth
Sunday Rosary. Your Knights sponsor rosary devotion
on this 5th Sunday of the month. To help bring
parishioners together in prayer we invite everyone a
half hour before 10 AM mass on January 29 to join
us. Please call Tony at 789-297-4479 if you have any
questions about your Knights. Have a great week!
The New Year brings a renewed sense of hope and
perspective with which we can reenergize our lives.
It is only natural that we "reset" come January 1st.
