Monday, 12 January 2026 Monday of the 1st Week in Ordinary Time

Today’s readings invite us to pray without giving up and to respond to God without delay.

In the First Reading, we meet Hannah, a woman who carries deep pain but refuses to stop trusting God. Her quiet perseverance reminds us that sincere prayer doesn’t need perfect words — it needs an honest heart.

In the Gospel, Jesus calls His first disciples with simple words: “Come after me.” They respond immediately, leaving their nets behind. It challenges us to reflect on how we respond when God calls us in our own daily lives.

This short reflection encourages Catholics and Catechumens to:

  • Trust God during seasons of waiting
  • Recognise God’s call in ordinary moments
  • Grow in faith during Ordinary Time
