This weekend, we gather to celebrate the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. In our first reading, the prophet Isaiah prophesies a servant who will restore Israel and be a light to the nations. In the second reading, Paul and Sosthenes (SAUCE-thenes) send greetings to the church of God that is in Corinth. In the Gospel, John the Baptist sees Jesus and proclaims him to be the Lamb of God.
