041/6854146       Drumconrath Parish Bulletin   29th January, 2012.         Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time         When certain people begin to speak, we refuse to take them seriously. Why?  Because for us their words carry no authority. When Christ spoke, all open-minded people listened. Why was this?  Because he spoke with authority. His words had the ring of truth, and people knew he meant them. Do we listen to the words of Christ? What authority do our words carry?           First Reading:     Moses tells the people about the coming of a prophet into whosemouth God will put his own words.             Second Reading:       Paul here urges those who are celibate to give their undivided attention to the Lord.               Gospel:     Here we see the prophecy of Moses fulfilled in the teaching of Christ.               Masses:       Sunday Meath Hill Drumconrath 10.00 am 11.15 am   Monday Drumconrath     Tuesday Drumconrath  8.00 pm Tom & Peggy Conlon Wednesday St. Brigid’s Day Meath Hill 10.00 am Grandparents of Meath Hill area.
