Our weekly offertory has been running consistently below
budget for the last 6-months primarily due to offertory
pledges that are behind expected levels and loss of gifts
from parishioners who have recently moved. Monsignor
and staff are maintaining overall expenses below budget
to address the shortfall. Unless the trend changes, we will
need to evaluate further cuts as we look at the upcoming
budget. We thank you for your continued generosity to
the Cathedral and ask that you prayerfully consider either
meeting your current pledge or if you have not made a
pledge consider an increased gift.

Welcome our New Members who joined us in January: Matthew & Kathryn Ferrett and Samuel, Charles & Stephanie Lawson, Chris Sill, Chris Peratta,
Agneta Liubinaite, Kingley Nwoko.
The Pope’s general prayer intention for February is:
Universal: That prisoners, especially the young, may be able to rebuild lives
of dignity.
Evangelization: That married people who are separated may find welcome
and support in the Christian community.
We pray to overcome in Christ’s name the heritage of racism: To overcome
ignorance, indifference, resentment, and bitterness with regard to race in both
private and public life.
Congratulations to

4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Today’s Gospel continues our reading from Mark and describes what
some believe was likely to have been a typical day in Jesus’ ministry. Jesus
and the disciples that chose to follow him in last week’s Gospel arrive
at Capernaum, a small village on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus teaches in the
synagogue on the Sabbath. Mark reports that the people respond to Jesus’
teaching with astonishment, noting Jesus’ authority and contrasting it with
the scribes’. Early in Mark’s Gospel we already find evidence of the tension
that will manifest itself fully in Jerusalem.
After Jesus’ preaching, an even more astonishing thing happens. A man
possessed with an unclean spirit calls out to Jesus. As we see in this example
and throughout Mark’s Gospel, the spirits and demons seem to know Jesus
and are often fearful of him. In fact, they seem to understand Jesus’ identity
better than his disciples. As we will read again and again in Mark’s Gospel,
Jesus orders the spirit to be quiet and drives the unclean spirit out of the
man. Jesus’ ability to heal those possessed by demons is an indication of his
power over evil.
In the prescientific age of Jesus’ time, all illnesses were understood to
be manifestations of evil and sinfulness. Our modern understanding of
illness is very different. Possession by unclean spirits may have been a way
to describe what we might call mental illness today. It may have even been
a way of describing certain kinds of physical conditions. There is evidence
that there were many kinds of exorcists and healers in first-century Palestine.
Jesus appears to be like these healers, but he heals with unique authority
and connects his healing activities with the words of his preaching.
We are missing the point that Mark is trying to make in this Gospel,
however, if we try to explain away the healing work of Jesus. The crowds
see in Jesus’ cure of the possessed man further affirmation of his authority.
Jesus’ power to heal gives greater credence to his teaching. Jesus impresses
the crowds through his words, which are manifested with power in his
deeds. Mark’s Gospel tells us that because of the authority with which he
healed, Jesus’ fame spread throughout all of Galilee. ©LoyolaPress
