THEME FOR THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME:  God does not speak to us in a vague or confused manner. He speaks a definite message of truth.  In ancient times, God sent the prophets in the spirit of Moses to be sure guides in the way of truth.  In the fullness of time, Jesus came and spoke with absolute authority. God still speaks to us in the living voice of his Church. Let us always be open to his word and truth. This week is Catholic Schools Week.
