Third Sunday after the Epiphany
Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee. And leaving Nazareth he went and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali, so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled: the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned. Matthew 4:12-14, 16
Greetings in the name of Jesus!
We are both agents and sufferers of the problems afflicting this convulsing world. That’s bad news! The Good News is that Jesus is on the move. Following His testing in the wilderness, He comes into the black hole that is life on this side of heaven, to the people dwelling in darkness and who live in the region and the shadow of death to shine His bright light and to show us the way, the truth and the life.
I look forward to seeing you.
Pastor Jaime

And now we begin Holy Week
With Palm Sunday, the Church’s Lenten journey intensifies as the Gospel writers give us much more detail of these days in Jesus’ life leading to Friday evening and a tomb in comparison to the previous three decades.
