Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
Sunday, February 8th
February 8th
Light shines in the darkness for the upright, the psalmist sings. Isaiah declares that when we loose the bonds of injustice and share our bread with the hungry, the light breaks forth like the dawn. In another passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus, the light of the world, calls his followers to let the light of their good works shine before others. Through baptism we are sent into the world to shine with the light of Christ.
Readings of the day:
Isaiah 58:1-12
The fast God chooses
Psalm 112:1-10
Light shines in the darkness for the upright. (Ps. 112:4)
1 Corinthians 2:1-12
God’s wisdom revealed through the Spirit
Matthew 5:13-20
The teaching of Christ: salt and light
Christ crucified, the wisdom and power of God
