Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
At that time, John saw Jesus coming towards him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptising with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.”

The Baptism of the Lord
And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; and behold, a voice from heaven said,
''This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.''

Second Sunday After Christmas
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

3rd Sunday Advent
Someone might say to me: “No, Father, I did so many reprehensible things… I am a great sinner… I cannot begin from scratch!”. You are wrong! You can begin from scratch! Why? Because he is waiting for you, he is close to you, he loves you, he is merciful, he forgives you, he gives you the strength to begin again from scratch. Everybody!

A Brief History
Early Christian History The earliest reference to Christianity in Cyprus is found in the Acts of the Apostles (chapter 13). This tells of a visit to the island by Paul, Barnabas (who was a Cypriot by birth) and John Mark, at the start of what is called St. Paul’s First Missionary Journey. The visit is probably to be dated in the second half of the 40’s of the 1st century AD and the three probably came in the hope of converting Jews. They landed on the east coast at Salamis, t
