Reading and Reflection

Reading 1:  1 John 3: 11 - 21
Responsorial Psalm:   Psalm 100: 1b - 2, 3, 4, 5
Gospel :   John 1: 43 - 51
 

The simple invitation to come and see led to great spiritual growth for the disciples and then all who followed their invitations.   In this year of emphasis on evangelization at St. James, each of us can recall this simple welcoming phrase.   Come and see.   Come and see The First Act, the Mass, the melodrama, Welcome Sunday, the picnic, any of our Adult Education offerings and so on.   Invite folks to come and see.  

     The readings can be accessed at  http://www.usccb.org/nab/010508.shtml This is an easy click to the daily readings.  Use the back button on your browser to return to the reflection.    We continue to build this ministry and pray for parishioners to contribute monthly.
