HEALING MINISTRY
During Jesus’ ministry “he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons.” This is the case in today’s Gospel.
Jesus fulfills the vision of Psalm 147: “He heals the brokenhearted and
binds up their wounds.”
Jesus knew, however, that he couldn’t possibly heal all the illness in the
world. No matter how many people he cured or how many hours he ministered, there always would be more suffering people like Job who craved his
healing touch. His primary mission was not to rid the world of all suffering.
His “purpose” was to preach the coming of the reign of God that heals, yes,
but ultimately transcends and transforms earthly suffering. With Paul, Jesus
could have said, “Woe to me if I do not preach” that good news.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Parish Religious Education Program
NOTE: PREP is “off” this Sunday, Feb. 8, because of Confirmation. We resume sessions
on next Sunday, Feb. 15th and on Feb. 22nd.
ABOUT CONFIRMATION
In the early Church, Baptism and Confirmation were celebrated in a single ceremony. It is still done this way in
the churches of the Eastern Church. In the Roman Catholic Church, (the Church of the West), the two
sacraments gradually separated. The Church in the West wanted the bishop to complete a person’s initiation.
As the Church grew and the bishops ministered over ever larger territories, the bishop could not be present for
every Baptism. So began the custom of gathering groups of baptized Catholics together later so that the bishop
could confirm them all at one time. In the process, over time, the reception of the Eucharist came before the
celebration of Confirmation.
In a number of dioceses, the Sacrament of Confirmation is now celebrated before the reception of the
Eucharist. This “restored order” returns the celebration of Confirmation to its original place, after Baptism in
the Sacraments of Initiation, with the Eucharist completing Christian initiation.
In the United States, the designated age for Confirmation is between the ages of discretion and the age 16. In
order to be confirmed, a person:
1. Must have reached the age of discretion, which is defined as about the age of seven;
2. Profess the Catholic faith and desire to receive the sacrament;
3. Be in a state of grace;
Be ready to live as a witness to Jesus Christ.
Receiving the Sacrament of Confirmation, the Christian’s relationship with God is made stronger. The Gifts of
the Holy Spirit are strengthened: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the
Lord. In this way the Christian is equipped to become a better witness to Christ in the world. In Confirmation,
the Christian becomes more closely united with Christ. With the strengthening of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit the
Christian is able to accept new responsibilities for witnessing Jesus to the world .

The Ash Wednesday Collection on 2-18-15 will again be for our
Sister Diocese of Mandeville Jamaica.
As the Priest begins the Eucharistic Prayer at Mass, he says, “Let us
give thanks to the Lord our God” and our response is “It is right and
Just.” As we share from our sacrifices for the needs of our Sister
Diocese in Mandeville Jamaica, we respond not only with words, but
also with deeds to thank the Lord for His many blessings to us and
share in His ongoing mission to tell the whole world of His kindness.
Please consider a generous response to this collection again this
year.
“God who is mighty has done great things for me, Holy
is God’s Name” – Luke 1:49
