January 14—2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him. May we, too, be listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say like the psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”
STEWARDSHIP IN ACTION.
What is a Biblical tithe? 10% of the first fruits to the Temple before the rest of the harvest is gathered. All of you
that garden know the rest of the crop might not survive. Test your faith by giving to the Lord a tithe. He is faithful.

“Most of the saintly bishops and priests … owe the beginning of their vocation and their holi-ness to example and teaching of a father strong in faith and manly virtues, of a pure and devoted mother, and of a family in which the love of God and neighbor, joined with simplicity of life, has
reigned supreme…” Encyclical on the Catholic Priesthood, Pope Pius XI 1935
