Dear People of God,

Good morning. Hope, everyone is keeping well. On this fourth Sunday of ordinary time, the readings remind us that God delights in the humbleness. He looks at the humble and lowly and fills them with his wisdom, virtue and the holiness of Christ.

In the first reading from the book of Zephaniah, God promises to preserve a remnant for Israel. However, one remarkable thing about this promise is that this group would be made up of only humble and lowly people. In our second reading, Paul reminds us that God delights in the humble of heart. Although, He does not discriminate, he often choses the lowly and poor in spirit. So, Paul encourages us not to be ashamed of the Christian community because of its composition of members of little human wisdom, intelligence, power and material wealth.
