MASS TIMES
Jesus Teaches From The Heart
The philosopher Karl Marx once said that the aim of philosophy should be
not just to explain the world but to change it. The same can be said about
the gospel we preach and teach. The people of Capernaum received sacred
instruction in their synagogue every Sabbath. One Sabbath they had a different teacher, Jesus.
MONDAY
9.00am Mass Immaculate Conception
5.00pm Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament followed by
5.30pm Mass St John the Baptist
TUESDAY
9.00am Mass St Columba’s
What Jesus taught them that day, as well as the way he presented and demonstrated his message, simply amazed them. Why? “They were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as
one having authority, and not as the scribes” (Mark 1:22). Jesus’ teaching contrasted sharply
with that of the scribes. In one word, Jesus taught with authority, the scribes did not. What
does it mean to teach with authority?
WEDNESDAY
9.00am Mass St John the Baptist
When we compare and contrast the teaching of Jesus with that of the scribes we notice three
distinguishing qualities: The teaching of Jesus is (a) from the heart and not just from the head,
(b) focuses on the spirit and not on the letter of the law, and (c) inspires a positive change of
heart in the hearers.
6.00pm Exposition of the Blessed
Sacrament Immaculate Conception
Jesus teaches from the heart. His preaching is a personal testimony of his intimate relationship
with God his Father. The scribes, on the other hand, get their knowledge not from their personal communion with God but from their long and intricate study of commentaries on the
Law. As a result, most of their teaching is from the head and not from the heart, as they try to
recall the portions of the commentaries that apply to the situation at hand.
THURSDAY
9.00am Mass St Columba’s
A second difference between the teaching of Jesus and that of the scribes lies in the content of
the message. Whereas the scribes seek to apply the prescription of the Law to the letter, Jesus
goes deeper to find out the spirit, the original intent of the law. Consequently Jesus is able to
discover the positive value that the law seeks to protect whereas the scribes busy themselves
with words and their minutest applications. On account of this positive accent of his message,
people perceive the teaching of Jesus as liberating good news in contrast to that of the scribes
which they perceive as a heavy burden.
Finally, Jesus’ teaching is always intended to bring about a positive change of heart in the people, not just to make the people feel bad, whereas the scribes teach whatever makes sense in
terms of their understanding of the Law and Traditions. Presented with a man blind from birth
the scribes seek to explain why he is blind -- whether it was he who sinned or his parents. Jesus, on the other hand is only interested in curing the blindness. For this reason Jesus performed healings and exorcisms, together with his teaching to show that his primary concern is
to change the human situation not just to explain it.

“Be quiet! Come out of him!”
“Gusto”
To sing with “Gusto” is to sing with enjoyment, delight,
pleasure, enthusiasm, passion, zest. Last Sunday in honour of the coming Australia Day on the Monday, we sang
Advance Australia Fair after the Recessional Hymn, and
we really did sing it with “Gusto”. Having just sung our
Recessional Hymn, On Eagles Wings, in what you might
call our usual manner, the difference in the rendition of
the two songs was quite remarkable. It was the same piano and the same choir leading us, but two very different
renditions. As Professor Sumner-Millar would say, “Why is
this so?” Perhaps it was as simple as more people making
the effort and joining in the singing. Perhaps “Gusto”
should also mean to “Make an effort”. Each week our Liturgy Team carefully select Hymns that reflect and relate
as much as possible to the Readings of the day. They are
99% hymns we have sung before. The words are easy to
read on the Power-Point display. Everything is there but
where is the “Gusto” that we can so obviously produce?
From today, please sing with “Gusto!”
ROSTERS
Our current roster will conclude on the 8th February. If
you are unable to continue in the roster system, please

to assist in this valuable work, please advise Parry.

YOUTH MINISTRY TEAM MASS is THIS Sunday
1st February at the 5.30pm Mass, St John the Baptist Church, Enoggera. Everyone is welcome BUT a FOUND
special call goes out to the children, youth & young adults of
ALL parishes within the KBCC to attend. The future of every
parish is indisputably dependent upon the continuing infusion of the next generation’s willing & active participation in
the Faith life of that parish. Without this ongoing, life assuring involvement, a parish will eventually wither & with it
withers the passing on of the truths & spiritual dynamics of
the teaching of Jesus Christ through Holy Mother Church.
So, let us gather together this Sunday night at our YOUTH
MINISTRY TEAM MASS & join in with enthusiasm & joy. The
future of our faith is in our own hands to foster & nourish.
AND there is the added ‘incentive’ of Fish & Chips provided
after Mass (gold coin donation) over which lots of cheery
camaraderie & cool communication can happily take place!!
See you there!

VOCATION VIEW
Like Simeon and the prophetess Anna, who served God
day and night in his temple,
Will you dare bear radical witness to Christ Jesus as His
priest, consecrated brother or sister?
Just before Christmas, a small leather-bound prayer book was
left in St Columba’s church. It has a cross inside the front
cover (in a cut-out section). There is no name nor are there
any holy pictures which may have helped find the owner. If
you know of anyone who has lost the
prayer book, it can be picked up at the
entrance to the church – on the window
ledge above the notices table.
