Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 1, 2026
Zephaniah prepares us for today's Gospel, instructing us to seek justice and humility. Paul writes that God purposely chose the weak and lowly, for Christ has become our strength and our glory. Jesus teaches the crowds the Beatitudes, telling them that it is those who are meek, merciful, and poor in spirit who are blessed. So today we sing out, "Blessed are the poor in spirit," looking to the Lord to satisfy our every need.
