“In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out,
“What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to
destroy us?”
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, how many of us have the same question
like this unclean spirit, have you come to destroy us? When I was younger I was
very afraid of God. I always thought that God was always watching me and
counted my mistakes in order to punish me. It is so nice to hear from Saint Paul
these words, “Brothers and Sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties.”
God is merciful and kind and He is always giving us time to grow in our
knowledge of his love for us.
Last week, we heard that God is inviting us to help him to save this world, to
bring good news to the people around us, to share what God has done for us.
Today God wants to heal all our misconception about him! Is it not amazing!
God wants to bring us close to him to be free of all anxiety.
This is the first day of the second month of this year of 2015. I invite you to
consider to work a little more hard in this 12 months to know better our God.
Today the Gospel shows us how this unclean spirit was totally wrong about
Jesus purpose of Jesus for us. What is the image of God in your life? We have
heard His word week after week for years, we all own bibles, we receive the
sacraments, we have the fullness of truth handed to us, and still we are more
interested in others things than we are in the Lord. Remember two weeks ago,
Jesus was asking, what are you looking for? Perhaps we have not said that we
do not want to hear the voice of the Lord; instead, we have ignored Him. We
will say that we believe, but rarely do we really act on this faith in our daily
lives. I always wonder what is more important for you in the mornings? I
celebrate mass with a very few people! How many of us are really interested in
this? How many of us would actually act to show God that He is the first in our
lives? I know that all things are possible for God, I only ask you to make some
changes in your live so that what is truly for our benefit is what we will pursue.
The words of our God are very close to us if we want to hear Him. God
wants the best for us and God is showing us through our mistakes that we can do
the opposite. My invitation for this week is to take a moment and see what
image of God we have and try to recognize the real image of Him that is
showing us in many different ways.

CURSILLO
TOTAL

Do you feel the urge to develop a closer relationship with the Holy Sprit?
In the Cursillo Movement we approach evangelization as very natural act of being
Christ-like within each of our daily activities. We realize that while most people would
like to live their lives in a Christ-like manner, the pressures of the world often make this
difficult.
The Cursillo Movement in the Diocese of Gaylord is growing and touching lives
through Christ. Discover the tools available to you in the Cursillo Movement. The
Cursillo hopes to make a natural Christian life possible for anyone. Cursillo is not a
retreat. It is a once in a lifetime weekend experience to "Let go Let God". The
weekend is for all a welcome respite from a society that has largely forgotten the Lord's
simple request to "love one another as I have loved you."
In the words of Matthew Kelly, "God want each one of us to become the best version of
ourselves.
For more information regarding your participation in a Cursillo Weekend, please call:
Dale or Barb Kowalkowski at 231-723-7391 or the Diocesan Pre-Cursillo Rep. Sandi
Bauman at 231-775-9287.

ST. JOSEPH'S COMMUNITY FOOD PANTRY: The next
month's Food Pantry will February 27, 2015
beginning at 10 a.m. Your financial support is
appreciated and encouraged. Every dollar you
contribute goes toward purchase of food and household
items.
❋❋❋
FAMILY PERSPECTIVE - Today’s Gospel reminds us
“unclean spirits” still haunt our families. These “spirits”
thrive inside our grudges, punishing silence, impatience and
abruptness. Today Jesus offers you the “authority” to cast
out these spirits from your life and your family.
Stewardship by the Book - Moses told the people, "A
prophet like me will the Lord, your God raise up for you
from among your own kinsmen." God still provides among
His people the gifts and talents necessary to continue the
work of His Church. What gifts are yours to share?
Reflecting on Stewardship - “Brothers and sisters: I should
like you to be free of anxieties.” - 1 Corinthians 7:32 How
much anxiety do we bring upon ourselves by constantly
worrying about not having enough or attaining more
things? God won’t necessarily give you everything you
want, but He will provide everything you need. Try this –
use the word “pray” instead of the word “worry” in the
future.
Vocation View - If you do respond to a religious vocation, do
not be afraid that you will not know what to say. The Lord
promised that He would put His words into your mouth.
But you must be open to His speaking to and through you.
Televised Sunday Mass - The weekly Eucharistic Liturgy at
St. Mary Cathedral is broadcast on Fox TV 32/45 at 8 AM
Sunday mornings. The broadcast is funded through gifts to
the annual Catholic Services Appeal (CSA) as well as private
donations. Anyone interested in making a financial
contribution specifically to this telecast ministry may send
donations marked “For Televised Mass” to Diocese of
Gaylord, 611 West North Street, Gaylord, MI 49735.
Donations may also be made online through the diocesan
website by clicking on “Make a Gift” on the home page of
www.dioceseofgaylord.org.
Promise to protect; pledge to heal - In an effort to protect
all children and to promote healing, the Diocese of Gaylord
encourages victims of child abuse or neglect to report the
matter. In fact, many professionals are required by
Michigan
State law to report suspected abuse or neglect of a child or
minor. Individuals should contact their local office of the
Department of Human Services. If an allegation involves
sexual misconduct of a minor by clergy or any employee of
the Diocese of Gaylord, even if it is in the past, individuals
may also contact Tom Tenerovicz at 989.732.5147.
