Welcome to St. Louis Cathedral....
On behalf of our Archbishop, Most Rev. Gregory M. Aymond, our parishioners, deacons, and priests,
I welcome you to St. Louis Cathedral and hope that your visit will be a memorable one. I invite you to
consider the Cathedral your parish away from home. You join visitors from across the United States
and around the world who celebrate Mass with us daily. It is my prayer that your time here will be a
spiritually uplifting experience.
I appreciate your generosity in the support of our Cathedral, as it is with your help that we are able to
maintain its beautiful state, that we may continue to worship God within these walls as has been done
since 1718. May God enrich you with many graces and blessings.

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD
In Jesus’ day, demonic possession was not
uncommon. Mark presents Jesus as one who takes
on the evil spirits, overturning their possession of
this man. Jesus has declared war against the
kingdom of Satan. Its hour of ascendancy is
coming to an end.
The unclean spirit recognizes Jesus as one with
greater power, for it asks, “Have you come to
destroy us?” Then it confesses Jesus as the “Holy
One of God” (Mark 1:24). Jesus will battle the
forces of evil to death, his death. But what looks
like defeat for Jesus will be changed to victory,
because the power of God is at work in him.
In the first reading from Deuteronomy, Moses is
speaking to the people before they enter the
Promised Land. The entire book is his farewell
speech to them. He will not go with them. He
consoles them, saying that God promises to raise
up a prophet like Moses and will speak through
him: “I will… put my words into his mouth”.
(Deuteronomy 18:18).
Jesus is presented to us today as the prophet like
Moses, who teaches with the authority of God and
whose words are obeyed even by unclean spirits.
There is no power on earth or beyond it greater
than the power of God at work in him.
—James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R.
