We follow Jesus’ early ministry in the weeks of Ordinary Time between Christmastide and the beginning of Lent. In Year B, we begin in John’s Gospel when Andrew and Peter follow Jesus along with the disciples of John the Baptist (2nd Sunday). After that, we follow Jesus through Mark’s Gospel as he begins his preaching and calls the disciples.

We want to help you sing the responsorial psalms through these early weeks of Ordinary Time, Year B, as we follow this beautiful thread of Jesus’ early teaching.
