PARISH STEWARDSHIP
Due to the snowstorm,
the collection for the weekend of
February 1, 2015
will be reported in the February 15 bulletin.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
First Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15-20
Moses explains to the people that a prophet will come
from among them, and that they should listen to this
prophet’s words, for God has told him of this prophet.
God also tells Moses that anyone who pretends to speak
in his words, or speaks in the name of other gods shall
die.
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35
Paul tells the Corinthians how an unmarried man or
woman is able to devote themselves fully to God without
concern for the needs of a spouse. Paul explains that
God wants to help them promote good and devote
themselves more fully to God.
Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
As Jesus was teaching, a man with an unclean spirit
came to the synagogue and asked if Jesus had come to
destroy them. Jesus ordered the spirit out of the man,
who shrieked violently as the spirit departed. The people
were amazed at the authority he had over the spirit.
