HU UH February 1, 2015 –Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time #621 page 3 Blessing of Throats after all Masses this weekend Baptism this Sunday at 1:30pm in Church Monday, Eucharistic Adoration 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the LaSalle Center Next Sunday is Eucharistic Sunday – Adoration from 1-4 4pm in Church Scripture Reflections for THIS WEEK FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Scripture Reflections for NEXT WEEK FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME U When my children were small, I had the power all mothers have to soothe little cuts, scrapes, and bruises with a single kiss. Mother kisses, and the hurt is lessened or disappears altogether. It worked wonders until the day my daughter burned her hand when she touched a steam pot. With full confidence, she lifted her fingers to be kissed—and then realized they still hurt. Over and over she lifted them to my lips, and over and over I kissed them until I finally admitted we needed to try something else. Cold water and a wash cloth eventually soothed the pain, and the limits of my magic touch were suddenly apparent. Jesus’ power is of a different magnitude. It’s evident when he reads and preaches with authority (from the Greek word exousia, which means “out of himself”— as opposed to studying or having a title thrust on him). It’s even more manifest when he simply rebukes a demon and the demon leaves his human host—not because he wants to, but because he knows true authority when he sees and hears it. It’s no wonder the people are astonished. They’ve never seen this kind of immediate response. This is no mother’s kiss to heal the little hurts of life, no magician pretending to have power he doesn’t. This is the Son of God come to cast out evil itself and open the Scriptures so the people can hear God’s Word in a new and powerful way. Today, let us turn to him to heal our wounds and make us whole. Mary Katharine Deeley U [email protected] U First Reading Job 7:1-4, 6-7 (74B) Job lamented his “months of misery and troubled nights.” Coludhuman life on earth be no more than drudgery? Shall he never see happiness again? Second Reading 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23 By preaching the good news, Paul said, he willingly made himself a slave to all in order to win them over. He did everything for the sake of the good news. Gospel Mark 1:29-39 Jesus healed ill people and exorcised possessed people. So many sought him that he had to seek out deserted places for prayer and rest. JESUS MUST CONTINUE TO PREACH AND HEAL At the conclusion of the Gospel we heard of the rapid expansion of Jesus’s reputation based on his healing of the man with an unclean spirit. Next week’s Gospel is another passage about healing which begins with the individual healing of Simon’s mother-inlaw and then narrates the healing of many in the entire town. After doing this work, Jesus prays alone in a deserted place, yet Simon and others follow him, telling him that everyone is looking for him. Jesus knows he must continue to preach and heal, and so he goes forth from his short-lived place of solitude. PROFESSIONAL FAMILY COUNSELING is available for individuals and families. Please call Sr. Monica, LPC, LCSW at (201) 997-5262 for an appointment. Fees are based on a sliding scale. February 1, 2015 –Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time FEAST OF SAINT BLASE ~ FEBRUARY 3RD Blase is said to have been a bishop in Armenia. We are told that he suffered an extremely brutal martyrdom. There is a very popular legend that from his cave, lit by candles, he removed a fish bone from the throat of a boy who was choking. This story made him the patron for those who suffer from afflictions of the throat. #621 page 4 Word of Life… “It is not only a personal but a social concern which we must all foster: a concern to make unconditional respect for human life the foundation of a renewed society.” -- Pope Saint John Paul II, The Gospel of Life (Evangelium Vitae, no. 77) © 1995 Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Used with permission. In honor of the Feast of Saint Blaise throats will be blessed at all Masses this weekend. RELIC CHAPEL MEMORIAL CANDLES You may want to consider one of the intentions of the soul of a loved one, or a special intention, by having a vigil candle burn in front of your favorite Saint.

Any requests not printed will appear in the bulletin the following week. To reserve one of the candles call or visit the Rectory. A donation of twenty dollars is appropriate. Next Sunday, February 8, 2015 Eucharistic Adoration in Church -Eucharistic Sunday- -Life, Marriage & Religious Liberty1pm-4pm Followed by Benediction Come and spend some prayerful time with the Lord… MEMORIAL OPPORTUNITIES STEWARDSHIP SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME “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. We will be purchasing new altar cloths and altar linens for use at Mass.
