JAN. 27, 2014: THIRD WEEK IN ORDINARY TIME 1st Reading: 2 Sam 5:1-7, 10 Responsorial Psalm: Psa 89:20-22, 25-26 “My faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him.” GOSPEL: MK 3:22-30 Key Verse: “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven.” (v.29) Dear Friends in Christ, This year we are celebrating the Year of the Laity and Pope Francis has made it explicitly clear that all baptized Catholics should proclaim the Gospel with joy. We can all begin by familiarizing ourselves with the Scriptures. For Catholics, the Church recommends that we use the New American Bible and as you become more proficient in the study of the Scriptures you can perhaps venture into looking at the other Catholic versions of the Bible such as the Revised Standard Version (Catholic Edition). Such is necessary because this is what we are to proclaim – the person of Jesus Christ – and the Bible especially in the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) is where we will come to know who Jesus Christ was and is. And in Bible Study and even when we are already being sent to proclaim the Good News to others, we should always bear in mind that we cannot risk offending the Holy Spirit because it is the Third Person of our Trinitarian God who will we need the Holy Spirit to equip us, empower us and inspire us. To read the Scriptures regularly will transport us right into the heart of God and by knowing him and acknowledging him as our God will help us realize that we have the power to share in Christ’s victory over sin and death and have received adoption as Gods sons and daughters. Through the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Lord empowers us to live our lives in absolute freedom from slavery to sin. The Bible will tell us that Jesus is our refuge and strength because our lives are hidden in him who created us. Make it habit to spend a few moments reading the Holy Bible and God Himself assures us that it will be a time well spent. … Kindly log onto: discipleshipformation.weebly for the Reflection For Today. A BLESSED WEEK AHEAD OF YOU!
