Dear People of God,
Good morning to you all. Hope, you are all hale and healthy. I am praying for you all every day. On this fourth Sunday of ordinary time, the Liturgy of Word of God encourages us to listen attentively to Christ who speaks with authority. The readings collectively focus on the recognition and acceptance of divine authority and be obedient to God’s authority.

First of all, I thank all those who helped to remove the decorations in our three Churches. I could see more hands working with your enthusiasm, dedication and commitment. I appreciate you all.
The readings for the third Sunday in Ordinary Time invite us to be transformed by the call of Jesus. In the first reading, Jonah hears God’s call and sets off for Nineveh. Jonah gave a message of repentance to the people of Nineveh. They believed in God, repented and fasted with sack cloths. The inhabitants of Nineveh heard the message, believed it, repented and God had mercy on them and their city. The story of Nineveh is simply a sign that God loves mercifully and that history is in His hands. This mercy and love are what He wishes to use us to communicate to our world.

Today, we solemnly celebrate the feast of “The Epiphany of the Lord,” and this is the last Sunday of the Christmas season. Now, the word “Epiphany” comes from the Greek word 'Epiphania' meaning 'revelation,' or 'manifestation.’
