The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A speaks about humility and trust in God. The readings show how God chooses the lowly and blesses those who follow His ways.
- Seeking
humility and justice: Zephaniah calls people to be humble and do
what is right. God cares for those who trust Him and live simply.
- God
lifts up the lowly: Paul reminds the Corinthians that God often
chooses those who seem weak or unimportant. This shows that human strength
and status do not matter to God.
- Trusting
in God’s wisdom: Paul says that God’s ways are different from
human ways. Real wisdom comes from following Christ, not from human
success.
- Blessings
for the poor in spirit: In the Gospel, Jesus says that those who
know they need God are blessed. They will receive the kingdom of heaven.
- Peace
and mercy matter: Jesus blesses those who are peacemakers and
show mercy. God’s children act with kindness and work for peace.
- Suffering
for doing right: Jesus teaches that those who face trouble
for following Him will be rewarded. God sees their struggles and will
bless them.
The 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A reminds people to trust God and live simply. God blesses those who seek Him, show mercy, and stand firm in their faith.
