Archbishop Lori’s Homily – 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time

As we put our trust in Jesus, as we trust in his teaching and open or hearts to him in love, something wonderful happens. Our hearts, our minds, our lives are transformed by the outpouring of God’s Holy Spirit. No longer are our lives driven by fear, anxiety, or self-centeredness.

The reading from the Gospel of Mark tells about Jesus’ baptism in the Jordan River. As the Gospel opens, John the Baptist is preaching about Jesus.
