Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time • Year A
Not many of you are “movers and shakers” … people of power followed constantly by the press to hear what you think or what you will do. For sure, not many of you come from the upper classes, those higher reaches of society where supposedly the “best people” dwell. But that means nothing. What means something is that you are among those who have been called to be with God for all eternity. God wants silly old you, to show the worldly wise that their wisdom is worthless if they take it too seriously. God wants powerless old you, as weak as you are, to show those who pride themselves on their strength that a human is nothing if not supported by God.
