Fourth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
Jesus said: “I
tell you solemnly, no prophet is ever
accepted in his own country”.
The word prophet conjures up the image
of someone who foretells the future,
a bit like a fortune-teller. No! A
prophet is someone who gets to the
deepest reality of human life and
is able to proclaim that this deepest
reality will come to the surface sooner
or later and calls us to make it sooner.
Generally people don’t like
to hear about these deepest realities
because they get used to the way things
are. A good example of this is: the
deepest reality of marriage is that
it is a sacrament, a source of Christ’s
presence in and salvation of the world
we live in. Couples need to do a lot
more to bring their love to that pitch.
Every home is a Domestic Church, a
sacred place. Every parish is the
living Body of Christ. We have a lot
of change to work on.

Doherty, C.Ss.R.

Fourth Sunday
in Ordinary Time
First Reading
: Jeremiah 1: 4-5.17-19
Before I formed you in the womb I
knew you; before you came to birth
I consecrated you; I have appointed
you as prophet to the nations.
Second Reading:
Corinthians 12: 31 – 13:13
There are three things that last:
faith, hope and love; and the greatest
of these is love.
Gospel: Luke
4: 21-30
Jesus’ message is meant for
all people.
The
Man in the Glass
When you get what
you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a
day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother
or wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict counts most
in your life
Is the one starring back from the
glass.
He's the fellow to please, never mind
all the rest.
For he's with you clear up to the
end,
And you've passed the most dangerous,
difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down
the pathway of years.
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be the
heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass
