From the desk of Father... Page 2 January 14, 2018 THE LAMB OF GOD Behold the Lamb of God! We hear this phrase every Sunday at Mass, but there s a good chance that many Roman Catholics do not know who in the Bible originally spoke it. The phrase appears only in the Gospel of John, on the lips of John the Baptist, who utters it twice. In today s Gospel reading, John proclaims Jesus as the Lamb of God, and two of John s own disciples then follow Christ. A little bit later Andrew, who heard John and then followed Jesus, brings his brother Simon to be re-named Cephas, or Peter. A careful look at these Bible verses shows us the mission of everyone baptized into the Body of Christ: we must always proclaim our faith in Christ, so that others will follow him. We may not know how the will of God might work through those we bring to Christ; that is not the point. The point is that our ongoing mission as a church is to bring others to Christ, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. Our Mission We, the Church of St. Francis de Sales, are a Community of Believers in Jesus Christ called to Impact Family, Neighborhood and Society with the Gospel so that people s lives are filled with Hope. Nuestra Misión La Iglesia de San Francisco de Sales, es una Comunidad de Creyentes en Cristo Jesús llamado a impactar la Familia, el Barrio y la Sociedad con el Evangelio para que las persona estén llenas de Esperanza.
