(2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time)
“Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”
Samuel thought Eli was calling him but then recognized the Lord.
He said, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” He heard the
Lord and followed.
The next day again John was standing with two of his disciples; and he looked at Jesus as he walked, and said, "Behold, the Lamb of God!" The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.
Let us Pray
Almighty ever living God, who govern all things, both in heaven and on earth, mercifully hear the pleading of your people and bestow your peace on our times. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with your in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

St. Martin's:
(Intercessory Prayer of St. Francis)
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace,
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
where there is injury, pardon;
where there is doubt, faith;
where there is despair, hope;
where there is darkness, light;
where there is sadness, joy;
O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console;
to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life..
As a precaution against the Coronavirus, will will continue to practice safe protocols (social distancing and wearing mask) at Mass. Additionally, for everyone's safety, we will also require temperature checks at the entrance to church. Remember if you feel ill or think that you may have been exposed to the virus, please do not attend Mass.
Please continue to pray for all affected by the Corona Virus, those afflicted, may they receive healing and deliverance, those most vulnerable, may the holy angels watch over them, for those tending to their care, may they receive strength and those that have died, May they thru the Mercy of God Rest in Peace.
