6th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A (February 12, 2017 Mass)

Sunday, 12 February 2017
6th Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year A)

Liturgical Color: Green

Readings

1R: Sirach 15:15-20
1. We are free whether to follow God’s will or not (life or death). 
2. God’s wisdom is immense. He is omniscient (all-seeing).
3. He tempts no one. 

RP:119 Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord! 

2R: 1 Corinthians 2:6-10, Paul speaks about 
1. God’s wisdom
2. What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard, and what has not entered the human heart, what God has prepared for those who love Him.

G: The evangelist wrote about the heart of the Law. Matthew 5:17-37 is about the part after the Beatitudes in the Sermon on the Mount. It’s about the deeper requirement in fulfilling the commandments—the heart of the Law.

Song Line up suggestions

This has some similarities to the 2011 line up, of course.
