Seven hundred years before Christ, Isaiah spoke these words over Zebulun and Naphtali, the forgotten, devastated northern territories that everyone had written off. And that is exactly where Jesus chose to begin His ministry. Not in Jerusalem. Not among the religious elite. In Galilee. Among fishermen. In the place where faith went to die, the light of the world arrived. Today we celebrate the Sunday of the Word of God and hear Jesus call His first disciples: Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. They dropped their nets immediately. Meanwhile Paul warns the Corinthians against dividing into factions. Is Christ divided? The light that dawns in darkness calls us to unity, one Lord, one faith, one body.📖 ReadingsFirst Reading: Isaiah 8: 23 to 9:3Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 27:1, 4, 13-14Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1: 10-13, 17Gospel: Matthew 4: 12-23⏱️ Timeline00:00 Introduction00:15 Reading I - Isaiah 8:23-9:301:02 Psalm Response - Psalm 2706:36 Reading II - 1 Corinthians 1:10-13,1707:25 Gospel - Matthew 4:12-2308:55 Reflection - Light in the Darkness🎧 Prefer to listen on the go?
