5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
‘A city set on a hill cannot be hidden’
Today’s readings encourage us to be bold in our actions.
When we share and welcome those in need, and protect that which builds loving community, we bring God’s light into dark places, lifting the gloom of isolation (First Reading).
The Psalmist says that those who imitate God’s light will be remembered and honoured forever.
For St Paul, knowledge of Christ crucified was everything – it was the light for his way, and revealed how the power of the Spirit was at work in the world (Second Reading).
The Gospel reminds us that, in service of the Kingdom, our good works cannot and should not be hidden. By our acts of loving service, we live as salt; by our faithful trust in God’s love, we live as light. And all so that God might be glorified.
Let’s pray that our coming week might be full of good works, and that through them, God’s glory might be revealed.

ARTWORK
Welcome
Welcome to the website of St Ninian’s Catholic Church in Knightswood, Glasgow. I hope and pray this will be a resource for spiritual nourishment for you who visit, that it will be a source of inspiration for parish outreach, allowing us to be the heart and hands of Christ for those around us, and that it will make a contribution to community building for the entire Knightswood area.
As we make our way through the year, let God’s light lift up our Spirits and our faith. May we have the courage to meet and embrace the challenges and the encounters of life with a renewed sense of purpose in the weeks and months ahead.
Thank you for visiting our website and our thanks to David Gray for permission to use his wonderful photographs of our Church.
