6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B (Feb 14, 2021)

A leper came to Jesus. "If you wish, you can make me clean." Jesus said, "I do will it. Be made clean." As followers of Christ, we bring his healing to the world.
5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B Feb 7, 2021

"To the weak I became weak, to win over the weak." "Let us go to the nearby villages that I may preach there also." Let us embrace our weakness as we join Christ in evangelizing the world.
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B (Jan 31, 2021)

"The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority." When faced with the reality of evil in this world, do we turn to Jesus?
3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B (Jan 24, 2021) "Word of God Sunday"

"This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand." On Word of God Sunday, Jesus calls us to join him in announcing the Good News of God's reign.
2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B (Jan 17, 2021)

"Rabbi, where are you staying?" He said to them, "Come and you will see." Jesus calls us to follow him. What is our response?

"And a voice came from the heavens, 'You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.'"

The Baptism of Jesus is a celebration of our own baptism.
