LITURGY OF THE WORD
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
1st Reading: Deut 18:15-20
Responsorial Psalm:
If today, you hear his voice, harden not your hearts.
2nd Reading: Cor 7:32-35
Gospel : Mk 1:21-28
Next Weekend: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Readings: Job7:1-4,6-7;Cor9:16-19,22-23;Mk1:29-39
Gospel Mark 1:21-28
In this reading Jesus teaches and acts with
authority. In this first miracle recorded by
Mark, Jesus shows his power over the forces
of evil. Even the evil spirit gives witness to
Jesus, recognizing him as "the Holy One of
God" and submitting to his commands.
We should learn to trust in Jesus and his
loving care for us. We should listen each day
for his quiet voice in our hearts, urging us to
trust him and to do what he asks.
What are our attitudes toward authority in
our lives? Are our attitudes toward Jesus the
same as or different from our attitudes
toward other authorities? Does Jesus
"authorize" our thoughts and actions? How
or when?
We thank Vince, Tony, Denis & Ernie for
fixing some of the pews.

Catholic Parish of Mary Immaculate, Bossley Park
Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults
(RCIA):
In today’s Gospel, those who heard
Jesus in the synagogue knew that his teaching was
new and that it came with authority - such authority
that even the unclean spirits recognised and obeyed
him. The living Gospel is about making our lives new
and all who listen with their hearts know the undeniable sense of God’s presence and power. Please
continue to pray for our catechumens, Nadia, Alan
and Dean, who continue to grow in their faith as
they experience more of God’s presence in their
lives.
If you or anyone you know is interested in becoming
a Catholic or know more about the faith, please
contact the RCIA team :
