Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I
am!” each time the Lord calls him. May we, too, be listening for the
call of God in our lives and be ready to say like the psalmist, “Here
am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”

En la primera lectura de hoy, escuchamos a Samuel responder

Que nosotros, también, estemos escuchando en nuestras vidas el
llamado del Señor y estemos listos para decir como el Salmista,
“Aquí estoy, Señor; vengo a hacer tu voluntad.”
