THE FOURTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME (YEAR A) (p.502)
29th JANUARY 2023 – SUNDAY OF THE WORD OF GOD
Save us, O Lord our God!
And gather us from the nations,
to give thanks to your holy name,
and make it our glory to praise you.
| R 1 | Zephaniah 2:3, 3:12-13 | In your midst I will leave a humble and lowly people |
| Psalm | 145(146) | My soul give praise to the Lord. |
| R 2 | 1 Corinthians 1:26-31 | God chose what is foolish by human reckoning, to shame the wise |
| Acclaim | The Gospel | Alleluia, alleluia! … Blessed are you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, for revealing the mysteries of the kingdom to children … Alleluia! |
| Gospel | Matthew 5:1-12a | How happy are the poor in spirit |
Reflect: Jesus came to proclaim the kingship of His Father, and here sets out to those gathered, the ways in which His children, that is us, can live out the Father’s will. What is your favourite beatitude? How could you make it more alive in your life?
