2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time, January 18, 2026
Ecce Agnus Dei
By: Fr. Jarrod Waugh, CSC, Pastor
“Behold, the Lamb of God.” John the Baptist points out Jesus as he is coming down to the Jordan to be baptized. This is a startling declaration for John to make; why does he call Jesus “the Lamb?” A lamb is innocent, for Westerners at least, a baby lamb is an image connected with springtime, new life, playfulness, and purity. It is rather helpless and needs its mother or shepherd to protect it from predators. Lambs may be startlingly white as their mothers subject them to frequent grooming. They are sometimes not as afraid of danger as they should be— they don’t know what to be afraid of yet.

Not all of these notions are helpful in understanding John’s ascription of this title to Jesus. Jesus is not naive about the world; he knows this world better than any Man ever has.
But to an outsider, I imagine that it could appear that Jesus didn’t seem to realize how much danger he was putting himself in when he preached in a way that contradicted the authorities (both religious and civil). Jesus does not need anyone to protect him. In fact, the reason he was born was to be a victim for our sins, far from seeking to avoid danger. He submits to his arrest, trials, and execution meekly. Let us recall that the true meaning of meekness is NOT the same thing as cowardice.

There is also an unmistakable reference to the Suffering Servant from the Prophet Isaiah (53:7), “like a lamb led to slaughter, or a sheep silent before his shearers, he opened not his mouth.” The Lamb was the paradigmatic sacrificial animal for ancient Israel. John knew that Jesus was going to offer his life for the salvation of his people, that he would take upon himself the price that paid the debt for all sin.

The Colorado Bishops have issued a statement on immigration titled "Welcoming the Stranger, Protecting the Common Good." Click the logo to read the full statement.
“As Catholic Bishops of Colorado, we approach the issue of immigration with prayerful hearts, seeking to guide our communities in a spirit of charity, justice, mercy, and prudence. The call to welcome the stranger is woven into the fabric of our faith, and in standing with immigrants, it is our first concern that they know the love of Jesus Christ and their dignity as human beings. We also recognize the responsibility to ensure the safety and well-being of our communities, as well as passing on the teaching of the Church on immigration to those who govern.”
