Fourth Sunday of the Year
Jer 1:4-5 & 17-19; 1 Cor 12:31 - 13:13; Lk 4:21-30 (Year C)
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you came to birth I consecrated you; I have appointed you as prophet to the nations.”
The prophet Jeremiah’s account of his calling follows a familiar pattern. Despite a deep sense of unworthiness on his part, he was overwhelmed with the assurance that the God who had chosen him, even before he had been formed in the womb, would enable the ministry to which he had been called.
