Parish News
(Vol.33 No 05) - 1st February 2009
The
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The
Lord, our Teacher
"His teaching
made a deep impression on them because,
unlike the scribes, he taught them
with authority." As Christians
we believe that Jesus is the one above
all others who can teach us about
God. And the God that he reveals to
us is a God of infinite love and compassion.
At times we, as the Church, move away
from this God and create a God of
fear and judgement. Our responsibility
is to move back very firmly to the
God of Jesus. We also believe that
Jesus is the one above all others
who can teach us about the meaning
of human life. He teaches us very
clearly that human life is about love.
We make it about wealth, or importance,
or pleasure and we have to constantly
move back to pinning our hopes on
love: in marriage; in family life;
in our life with one another in the
parish community.
Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
