200th Anniversary of the Precious Blood
∗
The Missionaries of the Precious Blood were founded in 1815 by St.
Gaspar del Bufalo, a Roman-born priest who was a renowned preacher. St. Gaspar was a high-energy organizer who was on a mission: he
wanted to renew the Church and heal the world with the power of the
Precious Blood of Jesus. Two hundred years later, his Missionaries—
priests, brothers and lay associates—help carry his message, that the
Blood of Jesus can energize, unite and save us.
∗
St. Gaspar del Bufalo, founder of the Missionaries of the Precious
Blood, was born on the Feast of the Epiphany, January 6, 1786, in
Rome. His birthday explains his unique name: Gaspar Melchoir Balthazar del Bufalo was named aer the three Magi who visited the Christ
child. It was an apt name for a man who would spend his life on a
quest to fulfill the will of God, constantly on the move as a missionary.
∗
St. Gaspar del Bufalo, founder of the Missionaries of the Precious
Blood, was born of humble parents. His father was a cook in a palace,
and was also something of a showman. He was an entrepreneur
whose efforts at organizing entertainment events were not always
successful. It is thought that Gaspar may have go=en some of his abili>es to a=ract crowds from his father. Gaspar’s mother was a pious
woman who had a great influence on his life.
MARCHING TO THE BEAT OF
THE BLOOD
By Rev Rick Nieberding, C.PP.S.
My path with the precious blood has
entailed change and continuity, drum
banging and song singing. I fell in with
the men of the Precious Blood by virtue
of geography and upbringing. I remain
with the men of the Precious Blood
because they are family. With them I am
happy. We may not beat our drums in
perfect Chinese unison, but we have all
heard the call of the master drummer.
We all want to be in that number when
the saints go marching in. We all march
to the beat of the blood.

Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time ~ Jan 31– Feb 1
Reading I : Deuteronomy 18:15-20
I will put my words into your mouth.
• In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses conveys Godʹs word to the people.
• The promise of God delivered by Moses is that God will raise up another prophet.
• The true prophet will deliver Godʹs word.
Reading II : 1 Corinthians 7:32-35
I want you to be free of all worries.
• Some of the early Christian communities found Paul to be a true prophet.
• The Christians at Corinth apparently wrote to Paul, asking him a series of practical questions about how to
live the Christian life.
• The First LeCer to the Corinthians is Paulʹs answer to their questions.
Gospel : Mark 1:21-28
He has authority over all creation.
• The Gospels reveal Jesus to be the true prophet, the one who not only brings the word of God but who is the
Word of God.
• In the first chapter of the Gospel of Mark, there are several stories illustrating Jesusʹ authority.
• Todayʹs passage tells of Jesus casting out a demon. The people are amazed because the demon obeys Jesus.
Question for Children: Name some bad things that you want to pray that Jesus will take away from our world.
Question for Adults: What are the evils in todayʹs world that you pray God will free us from?
