I'll bet some were expecting Baptism of the Lord this Sunday. Sorry, that was last Monday. You see, anytime the Sunday of Epiphany falls on January 7 or 8 (in this year's case, January 8), Baptism of the Lord gets moved to the Monday following (in this year's case, January 9).
Instead, we move onto the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time. How is it that we always skip to the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time and not the First? That's because the Baptism of the Lord (even when it does fall on a Sunday) is not the beginning of Ordinary Time, but the end of the Christmas Season. The following day (this year, Tuesday, January 10) marks the beginning of the First Week of Ordinary Time. So we call the Sunday that follows the "Second Sunday" (even though there was no "First Sunday") to mark the beginning of the new week.
So, without furthere ado...
