Fourth Sunday In Ordinary Time:
As One With Authority

Today we gather together to celebrate the Mass for the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. To paraphrase the Responsorial Psalm we might say, “If today you hear his voice, listen.” We are the listeners
of this generation and we go to mass every Sunday to become closer and closer to God. After all that is the task that God sets out for each and everyone of us. The better we listen, the better we become but we must be aware of what God wants of us.

Week of January 8, 2012

Today we gather together to celebrate the Mass for the Epiphany of the Lord. This was the day the Lord was shown to the world and we and the world have never been the same. Christ at the beginning and continuing until today, we gather to worship Him, who He is and what our relationship to Him is.

Week of January 1, 2012

Today we gather together to celebrate the Mass for the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of
God and it is the Octave day of Christmas. It is also New Year’s Day, January 1, 2012. For us God has been given a new beginning. We can start over as it were with the past year which ended last night as something we can compare of what we did with the changes we hope to make in the year just starting.
