ARCHDIOCESE OF SAN ANTONIO
ARCHBISHOP’S APPEAL
2015
Archbishop Gustavo is grateful to you for
responding to last year’s Archbishop’s Appeal.
The theme for the 2015 Archbishop’s
Appeal is “Transforming the Future”.
We
transform the future by recognizing our unity as
God’s people across the Archdiocese, growing in
our faith guided by the Spirit and living as
disciples of the Lord. We are called to realize we
have a Mission of love. Passing on the faith to
future generations.
The Archbishop’s appeal has begun. Each
household should have received in the mail a letter
from the Archbishop asking for your gift/
commitment. The campaign goal is $4,500,000,
and our parish goal is $98,479.00.
Pledges may be mailed back in the
envelope that has been provided. Prepare by
prayer as you consider what you will commit to the
Archbishop’s Appeal. Do keep in mind that the
donations received will be used exclusively to
support the ministries, programs and services
outlined in the promotional materials. In pew
weekend is February 21-22.
Confirmation III Youth and Sponsor Retreat
The Confirmation III Youth and Sponsor retreat
is scheduled for Saturday, February 21, 2015
from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Both the student
and the sponsor are required to attend. A light
breakfast and lunch will be served. We will
have a working lunch so no off-campus lunch break is
scheduled. There will be a $6.00 charge per person that
will be collected at the door.
Please note: Some activities will be conducted outdoors.
Please wear comfortable warm clothing.

FAITH SHARING
FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Recognizing Goodness
INVITATION TO PRAY
Pause for a few moments of silence and enter more deeply into
the presence of God.
Song: “Come to the Water,” John Foley, SJ, OCP
Proclaim the Gospel of Mark 1:21-28
Cure of a Demoniac
As you listen to the gospel be attentive to a word, a phrase, a
question, an image, or a feeling that emerges. Reflect on this
quietly or share it aloud. (The other readings for this Sunday
are Deuteronomy 18:15-20; Psalm 95 and 1 Corinthians 7:3235.)
INVITATION TO REFLECT
The people in this story were just
learning who Jesus was. So they were still
blind to the amazing truth of it. Others saw
more clearly, however. The unclean spirits
recognized him. His enemies recognized his
power and were threatened by it. The
centurion who saw him hanging on the cross
saw and proclaimed him truly to be the Son of God (Mark
15:39). But people closest to him, his disciples, seemed to take
the longest to realize who Jesus was.
Like the disciples, each of us has some partial
blindness to the truth. We carry with us a bias toward our own
insights, our own views, and our own opinions. Like the
disciples, this can make it difficult for us to recognize what is
real and true and good. What might we learn from this?
Perhaps we can learn to ask if it’s typical of us not to recognize
the goodness in those close to us but see it more easily in
others. Is it easier for us to believe that Jesus was present to
the people in the story we just read than to believe that Christ
is present to us in our daily life? Like the disciples, sometimes
we miss what is right before us. Perhaps we fail to see the
talents and goodness of the people with whom we rub
shoulders day-in and day-out or we stop seeing them after a
while. Maybe we are blind to the presence of Christ with us in
our homes, in our work, and as we move through our errands
and tasks each day.
In the gospel, we see how Jesus taught the people in
the synagogue on this day. First he taught by his words, then
Jesus taught by his actions. He spoke angrily to the evil one
and relieved the man with the unclean spirit. Words and
actions combined to make a powerful statement. Jesus is
giving us an example and a challenge. We too are to try to
match our lives, our actions, to what we say we believe.
INVITATION TO GROUP SHARING
1. To whom or what might I be blind? Are certain people or
viewpoints whose merit or goodness I cannot hear or see
because of my own views or opinions? (Often, it well
may be those I am very close to, for example, a family
member.)
February 1, 2015
2.
3.
4.
What is an example of someone who has taught me a
lesson because his or her actions match his or her words?
How does our community welcome the voice of those
whose viewpoints we might be slow to hear or accept?
Where are we showing, by what our community does, that
we believe the words we profess? Where are we not
doing this as well? How can we improve?
INVITATION TO ACT
Determine a specific action (individual or group) that flows
from your sharing. This should be your primary consideration.
When choosing an individual action, determine what you will
do and share it with the group. When choosing a group action,
determine who will take responsibility for different aspects of
the action. The following are secondary suggestions:
1.
2.
3.
Continue to name for yourself people and ideas to which
you show a partial blindness. Each day say a short prayer
to be open to the goodness and truth that may be there.
When you are with such a person, be conscious of your
desire to hear and see the truth and goodness you may be
missing.
Choose three people who have taught you by their words
and actions in the course of your life. Find an appropriate
way to thank them for this.
In one of your community organizations, speak about your
concern for times when actions seem to belie words. Do
this in a way that is not accusing people, but as something
you also own and are concerned about. Suggest ways to
close this gap between words and actions and ask others
for their thoughts and ideas on the topic. Or, as a group,
decide what you can do about this together.
INVITATION TO CLOSING PRAYER
Give thanks to God (aloud or silently) for insights, for desires
awakened, for directions clarified, for the gift of one another’s
openness and sensitivity. Conclude with the following:
Loving God, Jesus taught us so many lessons during his time
on this earth. As we come together to search out these lessons
we come with open hearts and minds. Open our hearts and
minds as we leave here also that we may see the goodness you
have put in the highways and byways of our life. Keep us
attentive to your words that our footsteps and actions may
follow the same path, the path that Jesus shows, the path we
claim to be walking. Guide our feet that they may stay on the
path of the gospel, the way that Jesus the teacher has shown us.
We ask this through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
