Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, Jan. 24 (Year B) Isaiah 3:1-5, 10; Psalm 25; 1
Corinthians 7:29-31; Mark 1:14-20
The mission of Jonah was far more dramatic than the edited snippet in the
lectionary would have us believe. When God ordered Jonah to prophesy against
Nineveh, he ran the other way. He wanted no part of it, but God did not care
about Jonah’s likes and dislikes.
