(Philippians 2: 9-11) FOURTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME The crowd was spellbound because Jesus spoke with authority, not like the scribes and Pharisees. People are no different now than they were then. People want to hear the real Word of God, and feel the presence of God in the words of the speaker. We can do this. We have the authority to do this. People can witness the Word of God present in our lives, and then choose to make the Word of God present in their own lives. We can do this. We can make Jesus' presence real for others. We have the authority to do this. People want to learn how to live their lives in such a way that when they conclude their lives they can stand before the Lord saying that they have made His Presence known in the world. We can do this. We have the authority, the power, to form others into Christian leaders. We have the authority, the power of Jesus Christ if only we stay united to him. Today we pray that we may remain united to the Lord, the source of the power and the authority we have received. - Excerpted from Rev. Msgr. Joseph A. Pellegrino, Diocese of St. Petersburg, FL CONFESSIONS Saturday 9:00 a.m. - 9:30 a.m. 3:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. Visit us on the web at
