Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
Mark recounts in this chapter an eventful day in Capernaum,
St. Peter’s home town. First, Jesus performs an exorcism. But
the main point for Mark is that the same power that enables
Jesus’ healing also underscores the authority of His teaching.
The Word This Week
Where does authority come from? Why is one man regarded
as a prophet, and another as a lunatic, and a third as a
hypocrite? Jesus startles the
crowds with a ‘new teaching’
today, but what amazes them so
much is not the message but the
authority behind it: they are
convinced because what he does
somehow adds credibility to what
he says. It’s the old situation that
we are all familiar with - we look
through words to see the actions,
which show us the real message. The scribes did not heal or
work miracles, but simply talked about God. Jesus talks about
the Kingdom of God, but also shows the people what it is - a
Kingdom where all that damages human happiness is
abolished. The other side to this is that we must listen to a
prophet or teacher when they are backed by such authority; we
may not “harden our hearts” and ignore the message when we
have recognized that the messenger is sent by God. This is the
hard part, because it demands that we too show, by our
actions, that we have heard.

I… You… We are One
For centuries, the Catholic Church has performed more works
of charity than any other organization in the world. Why?
Because God is love, and through that powerful statement, He
teaches us that it is in giving that we receive. His message is
simple—to love God above all else and to love others. It is
through His love that I seek your help. You are the answer to
someone’s prayers, and together, we are changing lives.

United, as one family of God, we feed the hungry, cloth the
poor, care for the sick and dying, and touch the hearts of those
in despair. With the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we nourish
and educate our children, both spiritually and intellectually.
We assist the poorest of our parishes and schools so that all
persons may encounter Jesus Christ. We provide shelter for
the homeless. As Catholics, we consistently defend and respect
the dignity of all human life, work to eliminate prejudice, and
promote social justice. We journey together by sharing in the
sacraments—from baptism to receiving the Eucharist, to
confirmation and penance, to marriage and anointing the sick.
And this year, we are blessed with sixty-five men studying in
our seminaries answering their call to the priesthood to
become shepherds of Christ here in south Florida. You make
all this possible.

Durante siglos, la Iglesia Católica ha realizado más obras de
caridad que cualquier otra organización en el mundo. ¿Por qué?
Debido a que Dios es amor, y a través de esa declaración
poderosa, Él nos enseña que es al dar cuando recibimos. Su
mensaje es simple: amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y amar a
los demás. Es a través de Su amor que yo busco su ayuda.
Usted es la respuesta a las oraciones de alguien, y juntos,
podemos ayudar a aquellos que tanto lo necesitan.

a fin de que todas las personas puedan encontrarse con
Jesucristo. Proporcionamos refugio a las personas sin hogar.
Como católicos, constantemente defendemos y respetamos la
dignidad de toda vida humana; trabajamos para eliminar los
prejuicios y promover la justicia social. Marchamos juntos
mediante la participación de los sacramentos, desde el
bautismo o la recepción de la Eucaristía, la confirmación, la
penitencia y el matrimonio, hasta la unción de los enfermos. Y
este año, hemos sido bendecidos con sesenta y cinco hombres
que estudian en nuestros seminarios, habiendo respondido al
llamado al sacerdocio, para convertirse en pastores de Cristo en
el Sur de La Florida. Ustedes hacen todo esto posible.
our good parents thought enough of us to pass on to us
the greatest gift they could think of: the Catholic faith
that they themselves received. A faith that so guided their
lives that they knew they had to pass it on. And so they
did.
The end result is that we know who we are without even
looking at any card. We are Christ’s. And hopefully
proud of it. Theoretically at least we reject the twin goals
of fame and fortune as the reasons for living. Practically
speaking, we acknowledge the pull of those two items on
our hearts. Sometimes we forget how counterfeit they are
because they appear so real. That’s when we have to face
facts and re-examine our daily decisions.
The great season of Lent is now less than a month away.
In car talk, that’s “tune-up time.” Right now we can
prepare for that Lenten project. I suspect that there’s a
stalwart Seraphim at the gate of heaven staffing the final
checkpoint before we enter. His “job”, if you will, is to
ask us for our “photo ID.” If that’s so, then Lent is a
good time to update those Christian credentials.
There’s an old slogan once used by my late Dad’s
insurance company that was valid then and still is today if
placed in the spiritual realm. It proclaimed that “the
future belongs to those who prepare for it.” Amen!
Unámonos a través de nuestro apoyo al ABCD de este año, de
manera que yo ... usted ... y nosotros podamos seguir llevando
a cabo las buenas obras de Jesucristo en el Sur de La Florida.
Fourth Sunday in
Ordinary Time
Reflection by Rev. Leonard N. Peterson
“May I see your photo ID?” That’s a question expected
from the passport inspector at any given airport. But it
was quite a surprise to hear it coming from my doctor’s
secretary. I thought this was a sad sign of the times we
live in, when duplicity is the main tool of petty thieves
and terrorists in our newly suspicious atmosphere.
In His time, Our Lord Jesus Christ had an ID problem
of sorts, but in His case, the questioners always asked to
know His identity after He did a good deed, even a
miraculous one. In today’s Gospel instance, Jesus frees a
man from the ugly throes of demonic possession. But the
townsfolk of Capernaum are quick to ask “What is this?
A new teaching backed up with authentic authority? It’s
as close as they came for a demand to see some ID of
Jesus. No surprise that in a gossip-ridden world, Our
Lord’s fame spreads all over the place, which is a
particular theme in the early part of Mark’s story.
The pairing of fame with fortune that dominates the
wishes of many people today is a clear contradiction of
the Christian life goals. Fame has already been famously
pared down by the artist Andy Warhol into a mere
fifteen minutes. But that doesn’t deter those ambitious
for it.
As for fortune, that pursuit remains ever popular. Lottery
tickets are scooped up daily, with little or no thought on
the buyer’s part that their deed “benefits senior citizens.”
They want it to benefit them.
Jesus, of course, seeks neither fame nor fortune. In fact,
He tries His best to discourage the one, and has no
interest in the other. But He is vitally interested in people
having the correct spiritual ID, including us. Oh yes, we
have such an ID. We got it at our Baptism. On that day,
