For Reflection:
In what ways have I experienced
Jesus’s authority?
Have I ever experienced God’s
liberating power in my life or in the
life of another?
Today’s good news
In Jesus’s first visit to a synagogue in Mark’s Gospel, we encounter a key theme in this evangelist’s writing: Jesus’s
authority. This is evidenced both in his words- “the people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one
having authority” - and in the exorcism of the unclean spirit . Unlike other exorcists of his day, who used many words while
performing exorcisms, Jesus commands the unclean spirit with just two words in the Greek text, and it leaves. The brevity
of his command illustrates his power of the spirit.
In the Book of Deuteronomy, Moses promises the people that in the future God will send “a prophet like me” to lead the
people. This desire for an intermediary between the Lord and the people is based on their experience of god’s great power
on Mount Sinai, mediated through Moses. The people believe that to experience God face to face is to risk death. God
promises to “raise up for them a prophet… who shall tell them all that I command”. Over the centuries, this prophetic
figure came to be understood as the longed-for Messiah.
Paul continues to advise the Corinthians with the expectation of Christ’s imminent second coming, as we heard last week.
His advice to the unmarried, that they should refrain from marrying, is based on the idea that one who is unmarried can
dedicate more time in serving the Lord. If the Lord’s return is near, then focusing on the things of God is advisable.
Though we do not expect Jesus’s return soon, we can still follow Paul’s advice by making sure our lives have a sense of
balance between worldly affairs and the things of God.

Have you Noticed
New parishioners and visitors to our church may ask—what or why or who are the pictures carefully hung on the wall above the
tabernacle. This past year we celebrated and learned about the observance of Divine Mercy Sunday. In 1930, Jesus appeared to Sister
Faustina and commanded her to write down what he wanted his people to know about God’s love and mercy.
In 2000, Pope John Paul II canonized Sister Faustina and designated that Divine Mercy Sunday be observed each year on the Second
Sunday of Easter. Pope Francis determined that St. John Paul II would be canonized that same day. Relics have been obtained of St.
Faustina and St. Teresa, our patroness and we will soon have a relic of St. John Paul II. They will be displayed in a beautiful reliquary. The
images were obtained along with the relics to continually remind us of the role that Saint Faustina and St. John Paul II have in connection with St. Teresa of Avila parish and our devotion to the Divine Mercy.

Feast of The Presentation
of the Lord February 2nd
Today the Church celebrates the feast of the
Presentation of the Lord which occurs forty days
after the birth of Jesus and is also known as Candlemas day, since the blessing and procession of
candles is included in today's liturgy.
According to the 1962 Missal of St. John XXIII
the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, today is referred to as
the "Purification of Mary." This is known as a "Christmas feast"
since it points back to the Solemnity of Christmas. Many Catholics
practice the tradition of keeping out the Nativity creche or other
Christmas decorations until this feast.
The Presentation of Jesus at the Temple is the fourth Joyful Mystery of the Rosary. It was also reflected in the practice of
the churching of new mothers, forty days after the birth of a child.
A blessing is given to mothers after recovery from childbirth. The
ceremony includes thanksgiving for the woman's survival of childbirth, and is performed even when the child is stillborn, or has
died unbaptized.
Ordinary Lives Extraordinary Mission
5 Steps to Winning the War within
In December, each family was offered a book by John R. Wood.
If you have not yet started to read, try to do so—even a few pages
at a time. He states in the Prologue: “We are all teachers by the
way we live and the people we become. When others see how you
live your life and your faith, you will bring forth questions from
them. Therefore this book is a guide to living the Catholic faith in
the job you do, the sports you play, the hobbies you enjoy, the
families you raise, and in the way you influence people every day”.
That statement makes this book a significantly important reading.
He ends his statement with: You must put God first in all the
things of the world”.
St. Blaise Feast Day February 3rd
Many Catholics might remember Saint
Blaise's feast day because of the
th Blessing of
the Throats that took place on this day.
Two candles are blessed, held slightly open,
and pressed against the throat as
the blessingis said. Saint Blaise's protection
of those with throat troubles apparently
comes from a legend that a boy was brought
to him who had a fishbone stuck in his
throat. The boy was about to die when Saint
Blaise healed him.
Very few facts are known about Saint Blaise. We believe he was
a bishop of Sebastea in Armenia who was martyred under the
reign of Licinius in the early fourth century.
lif that sprang up in the eighth century tell
The legend of his life
yywho raised
us that he was born in to a rich and noble familywho
him as a Christian. After becoming a bishop, a
new persecution of Christians began. He received a message
from God to go into the hills to escape persecution. Men hunting in the mountains discovered a cave surrounded by wild
animals who were sick. Among them Blaise walked unafraid,
curing them of their illnesses. Recognizing Blaise as a bishop,
they captured him to take him back for trial. On the way back,
he talked a wolf into releasing a pig that belonged to a poor
woman. When Blaise was sentenced to be starved to death, the
woman, in gratitude, sneaked into the prison with food and
candles. Finally Blaise was killed by the governor.
Blaise is the patron saint of wild animals because of his care for
them and of those with throat maladies.
We will have the Blessing of Throats on the
weekend of Jan. 31st and Feb. 1st after all of
the weekend Masses.

1 Corinthians 7:32-35
Singles Club
Being single usually means being available. In our culture, singles are those who are not
yet hooked up—as if the partnering is inevitable. Family and friends often put pressure on
singles to find someone and get married.
But some people choose to be single. They are concentrating on another vocation, for example, and cannot give marriage and family life the attention it deserves. A dedicated student will devote free time to study. Some people developing a talent in sports or the arts
remain single because of the demands of their craft. And some religious figures are single
in order to devote their whole lives to God.
In the New Testament tradition, several prominent figures were single, including Jesus,
John the Baptist, the apostle John, and the apostle Paul. Paul explains the virtues of being
single in a letter to the Corinthians. “An unmarried man is anxious about the things of the
Lord, how he may please the Lord. But a married man is anxious about the things of the
world, how he may please his wife, and he is divided.”
Paul oversimplifies the case; many married people devote themselves to the things of the
Lord, and many singles are trying to please a friend. But his point is that unmarried people
have a unique opportunity to devote their attention to God.
Being single need not mean being available. It can also mean being taken—by study, art,
sport or faith.
