5th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C (2022)

Feasts Holy Days and Seasons, 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time - Year C, 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Leave a Comment

Sunday, February 6, 2022

The readings for the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time for Year C speak about being called by God and sent to do His work. In the first reading (Isaiah 6:1-2A, 3-8) the prophet receives a vision and knows he must respond. The psalm (Psalm 138:1-2, 2-3, 4-5, 7-8) is a song of praise. In the second reading (1 Corinthians 15:1-11) Paul explains that he is preaching the gospel through the grace of God. In the gospel (Luke 5:1-11) Jesus tells Simon to put in his nets and Simon has a tremendous catch. Then Jesus calls Simon Peter, James, and John to follow him.

Discipleship is a clear theme here, as is the first reaction of unworthiness. Here are some ideas:

No No Game
This is a game for youth group or youth ministry where players try to get each other to say no. It could be used at a meeting about saying "yes" instead of "no". It also works in well with the Annunciation and Mary's fiat when she said "yes" instead of "no".
What Is My Worth?
How is my worth related to my social connections? Should I count my current possessions in my worth? Does my earnings potential play a part in the calculation? If these are the sort of questions you are asking, you are completely heading in the wrong direction.
Who Will Go? Send Me!
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" "Here I am," I said; "send me!"
Yes No Game (Youth Group Game)
The Yes No game is a fun activity for your youth group or youth ministry meeting. It can be tied in with teaching by reminding us that we need to say "Yes" to God. It also works well with a meeting focused on our Blessed Mother, whose  "Fiat" ("let it be done") in answer to the Angel Gabriel at the Annunciation was an affirmation in her complete trust in the Lord.
