3 rd Sunday in Ordinary Time 10.30 am Sung Mass at Hockley Celebrant & Preacher: Fr. Jeff Woolnough Group Pastor Following Him: Scott Hahn Reflects on the  Third Sunday in Ordinary Time http://www.salvationhistory.com/blog/following_him/ Readings: Jonah 3:1-5 , 10 Psalm 25:4-9 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 Mark 1:14-20 The calling of the brothers in today’s Gospel evokes Elisha’s commissioning by the prophet Elijah (see  1 Kings 19:19-21 ).

They are already looking for the Messiah, so they trust in John’s word and follow when he points out the Lamb of God walking by. Samuel is also waiting on the Lord - sleeping near the Ark of the Covenant where God’s glory dwells, taking instruction from Eli, the high priest. Samuel listened to God’s word and the Lord was with him. And Samuel, through his word, turned all Israel to the Lord (see 1 Samuel  3:21 ; 7:2-3). The disciples too, heard and followed - words
