TODAY IS THE SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

THE THEME FOR TODAY’S MASS IS:
DO WE KNOW JESUS CHRIST?

FOCAL POINT:   You have heard of him your whole life. You believe that he is alive, that he knows you, that he invites you to a person to person encounter and relationship. Yet, you know Jesus only superficially. John the Baptist said: “I did not know him”. But the One (God) who sent him to baptize gave John insight, so that he could state: “Now I have seen for myself”.
