The 2nd Sunday in Ordinary TimeAs our country celebrates the life and work of Dr. Martin Luther King this weekend, our Scriptures consider other ancestors in faith who have answered God’s call. Their responses to God changed their lives as well as the world around them. How often we miss God’s call, or need others to point it out to us.

It may be in our own little world, but the Three Kings are famous in our parish! In 2020 they were reengineered to become lighter and easier to maneuver. Squallis Puppeteers, whose creativity has been seen throughout the community, helped our team of puppeteers to bring our Three Kings to life.
Thanks to Sally Price (with help from husband John) for coordinating the remodeling of the Magi puppets! As the original puppets helped inspire her to join the parish, it seems providential that she became the driving force for this project.

EPIPHANY CATHOLIC CHURCH - LOUISVILLE, KY January 17, 2021 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
What helps you to “Come and see” - to seek and learn from Christ? May we have an open heart to hear God’s voice, curiosity to explore this calling,
and strength to respond authentically and faithfully.
PROFESSION OF FAITH: Nicene Creed I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us (men) and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became [hu]man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen. RESPONSE TO PRAYERS OF PETITION: Help us answer your call, O God. PREPARATION OF GIFTS: We Will Rise Up And Follow Mary Louise Bringle, David Haas From the nets of our labors, through the noise and confusion; from the city or seashore, Jesus summons us all. When we faint and grow weary from the bearing of burdens, with a message of comfort, Jesus summons us all.
RECESSIONAL SONG: Here I Am, Lord Dan Schutte, S.J. I, the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin My hand will save. I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright. Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send? Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord? I have heard You calling in the night.

“When Samuel went to sleep in his place, the LORD came and stood there, calling out as before:“‘Samuel, Samuel!’ Samuel answered, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’” 1 Samuel 3:9-10
Today we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am” each time the Lord calls him. A steward must be listening for the call of God in one’s life and be ready to respond like Samuel, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”
