4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
The work of prophecy continues in every generation as people are
invited to witness to Christ, not simply with words, but with their
lives.
The mission of Christ points to our mission which we received at
baptism, to witness to the values which He represents.
Every Christian is an apostle called to take a stand against friend and
foe and often a stand against our own weaknesses.
It may be a call to love more tenderly or to show more patience or
maybe a greater willingness to forgive.

Joke
One cold evening during
the holiday season, a little boy about six or seven was standing out in
front of a store window.
The little child had no shoes on and his clothes were mere rags.
A young woman passing by saw the little boy and could read the longing
in his pale blue eyes.
She took the child by the hand and led him into the store.
There she bought him new shoes and a complete suit of warm clothing.
They came back outside into the street and the woman said to thechild,
“Now you can go home and have a very happy holiday.”
The little boy looked up at her and asked, “are you God,
Ma’am?”
She smiled down at him and replied,
“No, son, I’m just one of His children.”
The little boy then said,
“I knew you had to be some relation.”
