제1독서
사무엘기 상. 3,3ㄴ-10.19
그 무렵 3 사무엘이 하느님의 궤가 있는 주님의 성전에서 자고 있었는데,
4 주님께서 사무엘을 부르셨다. 그가 “예.” 하고 대답하고는,
5 엘리에게 달려가서 “저를 부르셨지요? 저 여기 있습니다.” 하고 말하였다.
그러나 엘리는 “나는 너를 부른 적이 없다. 돌아가 자라.” 하였다.
그래서 사무엘은 돌아와 자리에 누웠다.
6 주님께서 다시 사무엘을 부르시자, 그가 일어나 엘리에게 가서,
“저를 부르셨지요? 저 여기 있습니다.” 하고 말하였다.
그러나 엘리는 “내 아들아, 나는 너를 부른 적이 없다. 돌아가 자라.” 하였다.
7 사무엘은 아직 주님을 알지 못하고,
주님의 말씀이 사무엘에게 드러난 적이 없었던 것이다.
8 주님께서 세 번째로 다시 사무엘을 부르시자, 그는 일어나 엘리에게 가서,
“저를 부르셨지요? 저 여기 있습니다.” 하고 말하였다.
그제야 엘리는 주님께서 그 아이를 부르고 계시는 줄 알아차리고,
9 사무엘에게 일렀다. “가서 자라. 누군가 다시 너를 부르거든,
‘주님, 말씀하십시오. 당신 종이 듣고 있습니다.’ 하고 대답하여라.”
사무엘은 돌아와 잠자리에 누웠다.
10 주님께서 찾아와 서시어, 아까처럼 “사무엘아, 사무엘아!” 하고 부르셨다.
사무엘은 “말씀하십시오. 당신 종이 듣고 있습니다.” 하고 말하였다.
19 사무엘이 자라는 동안 주님께서 그와 함께 계시어,
그가 한 말은 한마디도 땅에 떨어지지 않게 하셨다.
제2독서
코린토 1서. 6,13ㄷ-15ㄱ.17-20
형제 여러분, 13 몸은 불륜이 아니라 주님을 위하여 있습니다.
그리고 몸을 위해 주시는 분은 주님이십니다.
14 하느님께서 주님을 다시 일으키셨으니,
우리도 당신의 힘으로 다시 일으키실 것입니다.
15 여러분의 몸이 그리스도의 지체라는 것을 모릅니까?
17 주님과 결합하는 이는 그분과 한 영이 됩니다.
18 불륜을 멀리하십시오.
사람이 짓는 다른 모든 죄는 몸 밖에서 이루어지지만,
불륜을 저지르는 자는 자기 몸에 죄를 짓는 것입니다.
19 여러분의 몸이 여러분 안에 계시는 성령의 성전임을 모릅니까?
그 성령을 여러분이 하느님에게서 받았고,
또 여러분은 여러분 자신의 것이 아님을 모릅니까?
20 하느님께서 값을 치르고 여러분을 속량해 주셨습니다.
그러니 여러분의 몸으로 하느님을 영광스럽게 하십시오.
복음
요한. 1,35-42
그때에 35 요한이 자기 제자 두 사람과 함께 서 있다가,
36 예수님께서 지나가시는 것을 눈여겨보며 말하였다.
“보라, 하느님의 어린양이시다.”
37 그 두 제자는 요한이 말하는 것을 듣고 예수님을 따라갔다.
38 예수님께서 돌아서시어 그들이 따라오는 것을 보시고,
“무엇을 찾느냐?” 하고 물으시자,
그들이 “라삐, 어디에 묵고 계십니까?” 하고 말하였다.
‘라삐’는 번역하면 ‘스승님’이라는 말이다.
39 예수님께서 그들에게 “와서 보아라.” 하시니,
그들이 함께 가 예수님께서 묵으시는 곳을 보고 그날 그분과 함께 묵었다.
때는 오후 네 시쯤이었다.
40 요한의 말을 듣고 예수님을 따라간 두 사람 가운데 하나는
시몬 베드로의 동생 안드레아였다.
41 그는 먼저 자기 형 시몬을 만나, “우리는 메시아를 만났소.” 하고 말하였다.
‘메시아’는 번역하면 ‘그리스도’이다.
42 그가 시몬을 예수님께 데려가자, 예수님께서 시몬을 눈여겨보며 이르셨다.
“너는 요한의 아들 시몬이구나. 앞으로 너는 케파라고 불릴 것이다.”
‘케파’는 ‘베드로’라고 번역되는 말이다.

Reading 1
1 Sm 3:3b-10, 19
where the ark of God was.
The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am."
Samuel ran to Eli and said, "Here I am. You called me."
"I did not call you, " Eli said. "Go back to sleep."
So he went back to sleep.
Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli.
"Here I am, " he said. "You called me."
But Eli answered, "I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep."
At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD,
because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet.
The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time.
Getting up and going to Eli, he said, "Here I am. You called me."
Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth.
So he said to Samuel, "Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply,
Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening."
When Samuel went to sleep in his place,
the LORD came and revealed his presence,
calling out as before, "Samuel, Samuel!"
Samuel answered, "Speak, for your servant is listening."
Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him,
not permitting any word of his to be without effect.
Responsorial Psalm
Ps 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10
I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Sacrifice or offering you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, "Behold I come."
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
"In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,
to do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!"
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.
Reading 2
1 Cor 6:13c-15a, 17-20
The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord,
and the Lord is for the body;
God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?
But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him.
Avoid immorality.
Every other sin a person commits is outside the body,
but the immoral person sins against his own body.
Do you not know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,
whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
For you have been purchased at a price.
Therefore glorify God in your body.
Gospel
Jn 1:35-42
and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said,
"Behold, the Lamb of God."
The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.
Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them,
"What are you looking for?"
They said to him, "Rabbi" - which translated means Teacher -,
"where are you staying?"
He said to them, "Come, and you will see."
So they went and saw where Jesus was staying,
and they stayed with him that day.
It was about four in the afternoon.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter,
was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.
He first found his own brother Simon and told him,
"We have found the Messiah" - which is translated Christ -.
Then he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said,
"You are Simon the son of John;
you will be called Cephas" - which is translated Peter

Today’s Old Testament lesson shares the story of a young Samuel. He is awakened several times in the night by a voice calling his name, but because he was not yet familiar with the Lord, did not realize who it was that had been speaking. Eli, who had likewise been awakened because of Samuel’s earnestness to respond on being called, realized that it must have been God who was speaking to Samuel, and encouraged him to respond to the voice the next time with the words “Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening.” Ultimately, Samuel again heard the voice calling to him, and did respond as directed, beginning a life-long relationship with his Lord.
My first reaction on reading this was a memory of my grandmother, who sought to teach me as a young girl to read the bible and strengthen my faith. She demonstrated God’s love through her actions and her words, and I’ve always tried to emulate her example. Because of her, I pray regularly and I talk TO God, but I can’t say that I talk WITH God, or have a conversation with God. I’ve never heard God speak to me – at least not in the way that Samuel did. Like many of you, I suspect, I seek God and I regularly find God, in a breeze on my cheek or in the laughter of a child. Or, maybe in an answered prayer, I understand that God has spoken to me through action. In those moments I fabricate an interpretation in my head of the grace or the lesson that God has sent to me.
I’ve been encouraged by others – the gentle and wise Fr. Larry Gillick, S.J. among them – that I might try quieting my mind and my heart. That in being at peace, with an open heart, I might listen and hear. LISTEN. It’s such a powerful word and a loving act. If you need that advice also, I’m happy to share it with you! And I’ll pray for all of us that we can be still, know that God is with us, and to hear God’s voice as young Samuel did. Amen.

SLEEPY HEAD
“Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the Lord where the ark of God was.” —1 Samuel 3:3
Will you sleep through 2021 or will you wake up and answer God’s call? Many people, even religious people, will tell you to “go back to sleep” (1 Sm 3:5, 6). Instead, you should turn to God and say: “Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening” (1 Sm 3:9).
2021 can be the greatest year of your life. “Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor has it so much as dawned on man what God has prepared for those who love Him” (1 Cor 2:9). Some of those reading this will die and go to heaven this year. Others may be just moments from hell unless they repent and turn to Jesus. Some will make the most important decisions and face the greatest challenges of their lives in 2021.
If we knew what will happen internationally in 2021, we would immediately fall on our knees in prayer. “That is why we read: ‘Awake, O sleeper, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.’ Keep careful watch over your conduct. Do not act like fools, but like thoughtful men. Make the most of the present opportunity, for these are evil days. Do not continue in ignorance but try to discern the will of the Lord” (Eph 5:14-17; cf Rm 13:11; 1 Thes 5:6).
Prayer: Father, thank You for creating me to live for You in 2021.
Promise: “You must know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, Who is within — the Spirit you have received from God. You are not your own. You have been purchased, and at a price. So, glorify God in your body.” —1 Cor 6:19-20
Praise: “He will give a new form to this lowly body of ours and remake it according to the pattern of His glorified body, by His power to subject everything to Himself” (Phil 3:21). Praise the risen Jesus!

Who is Jesus for you? John calls Jesus the Lamb of God and thus signifies Jesus' mission as the One who redeems us from our sins. The blood of the Passover Lamb (Exodus 12) delivered the Israelites from their oppression in Egypt and from the plague of death. The Lord Jesus freely offered up his life for us on the cross as the atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 Corinthians 5:7). The blood which he poured out for us on the cross cleanses, heals, and frees us from our slavery to sin, and from the "wages of sin which is death" (Romans 6:23) and the "destruction of both body and soul in hell" (Matthew 10:28).
It is significant that John was the son of the priest, Zachariah, who participated in the daily sacrifice of a lamb in the temple for the sins of the people (Exodus 29). In Jesus John saw the true and only sacrifice which could deliver us from bondage to sin, death, and the powers of hell. How did John know the true identity of Jesus, as the Son of God and Savior of the world (John 1:29)? The Holy Spirit revealed to John Jesus' true nature, such that John bore witness that this is the Son of God. How can we be certain that Jesus is truly the Christ, the Son of the living God? The Holy Spirit makes the Lord Jesus Christ known to us through the gift of faith. God gives us freely of his Spirit that we may comprehend - with enlightened minds and eyes of faith - the great mystery and plan of God to unite all things in his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
"What do you seek?"
John in his characteristic humility was eager to point beyond himself to the Christ (means Anointed One and Messiah). He did not hesitate to direct his own disciples to the Lord Jesus. When two of John's disciples began to seek Jesus out, Jesus took the initiative to invite them into his company. He did not wait for them to get his attention. Instead he met them halfway. He asked them one of the most fundamental questions of life: "What are you looking for?" Jesus asks each one of us the same question:"What are you searching for? Do you know the meaning and purpose for your life?" Only God, the Father and Author of life, can answer that question and make our purpose fully known to us. That is why the Lord Jesus invites each one of us to draw near to himself. He wants us to know him personally - to know what he came to do for us and what he wants to offer us.
"Come and see"
"Come and see" is the Lord's invitation for each one of us to discover the joy of friendship and communion with the One who made us in love for love. Saint Augustine of Hippo reminds us that it is God, our Creator and Redeemer, who seeks us out, even when we are not looking for him: "If you hadn't been called by God, what could you have done to turn back? Didn't the very One who called you when you were opposed to Him make it possible for you to turn back?" It is God who initiates and who draws us to himself. Without his mercy and help we could not find him on our own.
When we find something of great value it's natural to want to share the good news of our discovery with our family, friends, and neighbors. When Andrew met Jesus and discovered that he was truly the Messiah, he immediately went to his brother Simon and told him the good news. Andrew brought his brother to meet Jesus so he could "come and see" for himself. When Jesus saw Simon approaching he immediately reached out to Simon in the same way he had done for Andrew earlier. Jesus looked at Simon and revealed that he knew who Simon was and where he came from even before Simon had set his eyes on Jesus. Jesus gave Simon a new name which signified that God had a personal call and mission for him. Jesus gave Simon the name "Cephas" which is the Aramaic word for "rock". Cephas is translated as Peter (Petros in Greek and Petrus in Latin) which also literally means "rock".
To call someone a "rock" was one of the greatest compliments in the ancient world. The rabbis had a saying that when God saw Abraham, he exclaimed: "I have discovered a rock to found the world upon." Through Abraham God established a nation for himself. Through faith Peter grasped who Jesus truly was - the Anointed One (Messiah and Christ) and the only begotten Son of God. The New Testament describes the church as a spiritual house or temple with each member joined together as living stones (see 1 Peter 2:5). Faith in Jesus Christ makes us into rocks or spiritual stones. The Holy Spirit gives us the gift of faith to know the Lord Jesus personally, power to live the gospel faithfully, and courage to witness the truth and joy of the Gospel to others. The Lord Jesus is ever ready to draw us to himself. Do you seek to grow in the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus Christ?
Lord Jesus Christ, fill me with the power of your Holy Spirit that I may grow in the knowledge of your great love and truth. Let your Spirit be aflame in my heart that I may joyfully seek to do your will in all things.
Psalm 98:1,7-9
1 O sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it!
8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together
9 before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: The first disciples longing for the Messiah, by John Chrysostom (349-407 AD)
"Andrew, after having stayed with Jesus and after having learned what he did, did not keep the treasure to himself but hurries and races to his brother in order to let him know the good things Jesus has shared with him. But why hasn't John mentioned what they talked about? How do we know this is why they 'stayed with him'?... Observe what Andrew says to his brother, 'We have found the Messiah, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.' You see how, in a short time, he demonstrates not only the persuasiveness of the wise teacher but also his own longing that he had from the beginning. For this word, 'we have found,' is the expression of a soul that longs for his presence, looking for his coming from above, and is so ecstatic when what he is looking for happens that he hurries to tell others the good news. This is what brotherly affection, natural friendship, is all about when someone is eager to extend a hand to another when it comes to spiritual matters. Also see how he adds the article, for he does not say 'Messiah' but 'the Messiah.' They were expecting the Christ who would have nothing in common with the others." (excerpt from HOMILIES ON THE GOSPEL OF JOHN 19.1)
