Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time – 

We must be very careful that we never neglect a message from God because we despise, resent or do not care for the messenger.  God has many messengers.  God’s greatest message came through a Galilean carpenter, and that was precisely why the people in the gospel disregarded it.  Now if God’s greatest message came to us through a carpenter, what about God’s daily messages which come through others and through circumstances in our lives.
