Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
— Psalm 95:6
FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
AUTHORITY FROM GOD
According to Moses, the people decided they didn’t want to hear God’s voice directly any
more. It was much too frightening. Why couldn’t God send human teachers, prophets,
instead? God agreed, but with a warning. The people had better listen to those teachers,
because they spoke in God’s name.
That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them and for us. How do I know this
teacher is truly from God? And if the teacher is from God, are all parts of the teaching
meant for me? We have the Church and scripture to help us with those questions, but still
there are always a few loose ends.
That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s Gospel: “The people were
astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” The people
knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent by God. They knew it by hearing him.
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — Moses spoke to all the people, saying: “A prophet like me will the LORD, your God, raise up
for you” (Deuteronomy 18:15-20).
Psalm — If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts (Psalm 95).
Second Reading — Brothers and sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties (1 Corinthians 7:32-35).
Gospel — The people were astonished at Jesus’ teaching; he taught them as one having authority
(Mark 1:21-28).
LET US PRAY
We commend to your prayers our parishioners who
are sick at this time and for those who have died.

CUARTO DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO
AUTORIDAD DE DIOS
De acuerdo a Moisés, el pueblo decidió que no quería ya más oír
la voz directa de Dios. Era demasiado aterradora. ¿Por qué no les
podía Dios enviar a maestros o profetas humanos? Dios aceptó
pero con una advertencia. El pueblo debía escuchar a estos
maestros, puesto que hablaban en nombre de Dios.
Ese acuerdo, sin embargo, resultó en otros problemas, para ellos
y para nosotros. ¿Cómo sé si este maestro es en realidad de
Dios? Y si el maestro es de Dios, ¿están todas las partes de su
enseñanza dirigidas a mí? Tenemos la Iglesia y la Sagrada
Escritura para ayudarnos con todas estas preguntas, pero así y
todo siempre quedan algunos cabos sueltos.
Ese es el poderoso significado de la frase
en el Evangelio de hoy: "Los oyentes
quedaron asombrados de sus palabras,
pues enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad
y no como los escribas". El pueblo sabía
que este Jesús era auténtico
‑verdaderamente un maestro enviado por
Dios. Lo sabían con sólo escucharle.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Moisés le habló a todo el pueblo diciendo: “El
Señor Dios hará surgir en medio de ustedes un profeta como
yo” (Deuteronomio 18:15-20).
Salmo — Ojalá escuchen hoy su voz; no endurezcan sus
corazones (Salmo 95 [94]).
Segunda lectura — Hermanos y hermanas: Yo quisiera que
ustedes vivieran sin preocupaciones (1 Corintios 7:32-35).
Evangelio — Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de sus
palabras, pues enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad (Marcos
1:21-28).
