Third Sunday in Ordinary Time / Sunday of the Word of God

Today the Church in the United States celebrates the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time / Sunday of the Word of God. The assigned readings are Jonah 3:1-5, 10; 1 Corinthians 7:29-31; and Mark 1:14-20. The Responsorial Psalm is from Psalm 25 (Psalm 25:4-9).

The Gospel reading is as follows:

After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."

As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Then they abandoned their nets and followed him.

He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.
