Text Box: MESSAGE FROM 
FATHER JENSON

“Behold the Lamb of God” are words taken from our Gospel this weekend.  John the Baptist tells his disciples this as Jesus is passing by.  Jesus called Peter through his brother Andrew who was a disciple of John the Baptist and brought Peter to Jesus.  God called the prophet Samuel and guided him through the priest Levi who told Samuel to pray and listen to the voice he heard in the night.  Jesus, the Lamb of God, is God’s true remedy for our troubles in life.  Jesus calls to us through others many times to come and follow him.  

This Gospel is also a call for vocations to the priesthood and religious life for those among us who may be feeling an inner urge to draw close to the Lord and serve others for him in that particular way in preaching and living the Gospel in the Church through ordination or religious consecration.  

Be a true servant of the Lord in whatever way he calls to you, and live so as to be a means for the Lord to touch other people in your day.

Father Glen Jenson, Pastor
