3rd Sunday, Year A

In the flow of Matthew’s gospel, Jesus has been baptized by John, lead by the Spirit into the wilderness and been tempted for 40 days and night. Now He emerges into the world and from that time on his pubic ministry was underway. The first action? Calling disciples to follow him and begin the mission to the world that all might be saved

As always, a lot going on in the gospel reading. Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and take a moment on the back porch with the Word of God.
