Pastor’s Corner
Scripture Readings
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear brothers and sisters
Peace!
We have a good advice from St. Paul in this Sunday’s second reading. He says, “I should
like you to be free of anxieties.” Is this possible at all with all the problems and challenges
we face each day?
This Christian community of Corinth carried their baptismal grace in their hearts but they
failed to “adhere to the Lord without distraction.” They thought being a Christian was like
belonging to another social club. Yes, they were baptized, but they did not act like it.
They heard the word of God, but they failed to practice it. In other words, God was far
from their minds and hearts. Their being baptized did not really matter much in their day
to day life.
The challenge is to put skin to our baptismal life, that is, to live a more active life of faith.
In this way we truly acknowledge Jesus as the “Holy One of God.” He will make a difference in our lives. We can depend on him. He is worth our trust.
God bless you.
In Jesus, our fullness of Life,
Fr. Samuel E. Loterte, SSS
