READINGS OF THE DAY

First Reading: Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7 Isaiah tells of the Lord’s Servant, who will be inconspicuous, but will not rest until justice is established. The Lord then tells his servant that he was formed to be “a light for the nations.”

Second Reading: Acts 10:34-38 Peter speaks to a group of pagans for the first time. He explains to them that any person who follows God’s will is acceptable to God, regardless of nationality.

Gospel: Mark 1:7-11 John the Baptist had claimed one would come far more powerful than himself, one who would baptize with the Holy Spirit rather than water. When Jesus came to John and was baptized, the Spirit descended on him and a voice said, “You are my beloved Son. On you my favor rests.”

Tough times? Throughout history, God has proven his faithfulness and care over and over again. He promises that He will help you through whatever tough times you face. “God is faithful and will not let you be tried beyond your strength; but with the trial he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to bear it” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Lean on Him.

Tune out the world and tune into God! In our noisy world, it can be hard to hear God’s voice over the din. Yet, listening is as important as talking during prayer. “By waiting and by calm you shall be saved, in quiet

and in trust your strength lies” (Isaiah 30:15). Talk to Him often, but make a point of listening for God’s voice.
