Reflection on the Readings at Mass for the 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year A. The Liturgical Sense of the Scriptures Podcast, by Catholic Author and Theologian David L. Gray.

You Have Been Called to the Liturgy of the Holy Mass 

The readings for the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time remind us that every Christian life begins with a call from God—a call woven into creation itself and revealed fully in Christ. Isaiah’s Suffering Servant hints at a mission meant for all nations; Paul insists that those who are called become people who call upon the name of Jesus; and John the Baptist shows that our vocation can only be understood in the light of the Lamb of God. As Ordinary Time begins, the Church invites us to follow Christ from the Epiphany toward Calvary, learning through the liturgy how to pray, listen, repent, and serve. In every posture—standing, kneeling, chanting, or silent—the Mass forms us in patience, fidelity, and discipleship, feeding us with the grace that sustains our journey. We become who we were created to be only by returning again and again to the place where He calls us and equips us for His work in the world.
