First Reading: 1 John 2:22-28 Responsorial Psalm: Psalms 98:1, 2-3AB, 3CD-4 Alleluia: Hebrews 1:1-2 Gospel: John 1:19-28 In today’s gospel reading, John the Baptist was asked the questions, “Who are you? Why are you baptizing?” Perhaps we can ask ourselves the questions: Who am I? Why am I feeling and living this way today? Why am I who I am today? Am I happier today or more miserable? Have my life experiences taught me lessons that I apply today? Am I more mature today, or have I regressed even? This is the 1000th installment of our CFC contemplation series focusing on the daily liturgical readings. With attribution to Allison Ricciardi on Emotional and Spiritual Maturity. [NOTE: All the regular reflections are between 3-7 minutes long, enough time for us to ponder what God's message is for us individually and to pray that we may live them out in our lives.
