4th Sunday in Ordinary Time 3rd February: Focus: We are witnesses to Jesus, primarily through our love for one another. – God calls some people, such as Jeremiah, to be prophets – to bring others to him by speaking God’s words to them. Most of us, however, are called to be witnesses through the love that we show each day in our actions & words. No matter what we do, it must always be expressed in love.
