              Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

                    From the Gospel of Luke
Rolling up the scroll, He handed it back to the attendant and sat down, and
the eyes of all in the synagogue looked intently at Him. He said to them,
        “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.”

                         Lk 1:1-4; 4:14-21
