Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

This is a reading and reflection of the scriptures from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary time. There seems to be a running thread of love, and how God loves us, but it's not always as we think. So come take a look at God's love, how he stands with us in the not so great times and reflect on how God is loving us right now and how we can share his love.
