  <description>&lt;p&gt;Homily from the Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Do not sacrifice your identity and integrity on the altar of approval.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;We all need acceptance. It is a basic human requirement. But we also must have the courage and freedom to know who we are and what we are about independent of the accepting group.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;dl&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Mass Readings from January 30, 2022:&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt; Psalms 71:1-6, 15-17&lt;/dt&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;1 Corinthians 12:31—13:13&lt;/dt&gt; &lt;p&gt;Luke 4:21-30&lt;/p&gt;
