3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time (A)

Short Reflection for the 3^rdSunday of the Ordinary Time (A)

Readings: Isaiah 8: 23 - 9: 3; 1 Corinthians 1: 10-13.7; Matthew 4: 12-13

Text:  "Land of Zebulon and land of Naphtali, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles, the people who sit in darkness have seen a great light, on those dwelling in a land overshadowed by death light has arisen." (Matthew 4: 14-16)

Meditation:  Jesus’ presence, words and deeds are life and light to people who sit in darkness and dwell in the land overshadowed by death.  As Jesus’ disciples, we, too, partake of this light and we are called to give hope and light to others by our presence, words and deeds. Jesus is here to bring the light.

We, who want to see the light, will soon see the light. And when we have seen the light, let us be ready to respond to it and be a light ourselves! Visit:  www.badaliyya.blogspot.com
