The Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus Is The Lamb of God
Yes, this is the year when we focus on the gospel of Mark, but in some instances we turn to the gospel of
John. Here is one of the occasions. In today’s gospel, John 1: 35-42, John the Baptist points out to Andrew,
one of his followers, that there is Jesus saying “Behold the Lamb of God.” Andrew then brings his brother
Simon to Jesus who looks at him and gives him the name Peter.
But now let’s look at the title that John the Baptist gives to Jesus, calling him: The Lamb of God. The
Jewish people at Passover time offered to God the sacrifice of a year old lamb and it had to be one without any
blemish. That would be the only sacrifice the people could offer, one that was perfect. That is what was
offered especially at the Passover and it was then the centerpiece of the Passover meal. John’s gospel notes
that at the same time that the Passover lamb was being sacrificed (about noon) was the same time that Jesus,
our Lamb of God, was sentenced to death by Pilate. Note, this too was the perfect sacrifice.
With the coming of Jesus into the world and his sacrifice on the cross for us, the offering of the year old
perfect lamb was no longer of value. The real perfect sacrifice now becomes Jesus whom we offer and take
part in each Sunday as we witness him and or receive him in the Eucharist. No greater sacrifice can be
offered to God than this perfect sacrifice.
Please note that this whole sacrifice of Jesus is brought to mind several times during the Mass. 1) In the
Gloria we sing, “…Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father…”, praising in song Jesus as the Lamb of
God. Then 2) After the exchange of Peace, the priest and or the choir sings/says, “Lamb of God, you take
away the sins of the world, have mercy on us…” The priest then breaks a part of the sacred host and puts it
into the Precious Blood in the chalice. Then 3) The priest holds up the host, displaying it for all to see,
saying, “Behold the Lamb of God. Behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those
called to the supper of the Lamb.” Then Jesus, the perfect lamb of sacrifice, becomes our food and drink.
The congregation then replies repeating what the Roman centurion said asking Jesus to heal his servant
(Matthew 8: 8) “Lord I am not worthy that you should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my soul
(servant) shall be healed.”
May we who have received and/or witnessed the “Lamb of God” here at Mass now take him with us as we
leave Mass today. May we keep him ever on our mind and always in our heart.
Blessings,
Fr. Julien

New Rectory for our Priests
When we wanted to build our new church we were forced to demolish our old rectory to allow
enough parking spaces for the amount of seats in the church. The county has a ratio of seating
to parking spaces on these things. We could not get a permit to build until we had enough
space for the parking. Our priests purchased a modest house 1 1/2 miles from the church. We
have four priests to house and the house we purchased was barely large enough to
accommodate them. Two of the priests share one bathroom, and no one has a study.
Fr. Julien has always put everyone ahead of himself and the other priests. It’s time to build
him a proper house. We would like to call it “Julien House”. Our Rectory fund has already
been established and some have already donated to this cause. Please consider making a
contribution toward this effort. Fr. Julien and all our priests make such a contribution to our
parish and our community. It would be great to repay them with a nice comfortable house
closer to the church for their convenience. Thank you for caring.
Please help us build Julien House
Thanks, Joy
