Theme: Discipleship
1st
Reading: Isaiah, chapter 8: 23, to chapter 9: 3
In the past, God punished his
people for their sins. Now he has brought them relief, so that they would be
full of joy without measure.
2nd
Reading: The First letter of Paul to the Corinthians, chapter 1: 10–13, 17
St. Paul sounds a word of
caution against certain divisive tendencies in the congregation at Corinth. For
him, what should matter to us Christians is the message of Christ which enjoins
all of us to a common discipleship.
Gospel
Reading: Matthew, chapter 4: 12 – 23
Jesus begins his missionary
activities, as prophesied by Isaiah, to bring hope to a people without hope.
All followers of Christ are called to our Lord’s ministry: to bring joy and
light to all men.
