-Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time– February 1, 2015
Dear parishioners,
At this point we have been in Port-auPrince, Haiti for a couple of days. We
spent a day at a baby hospital run by
the Missionaries of Charity (Mother Theresa's sisters). They are so filled with
joy. There is a true love they embody.
You cannot help but feel drawn to them
and to help them.
The babies in this hospital were all very
ill from serious malnutrition. The babies
often stay for a long time, it is the only way they can get strong again.
Remnants of cathedral after 2010 earthquake
Even though the babies often had fevers or pneumonia they all still just wanted to be held and loved. Many
of the parents come each day for a few hours to be with their kids. But some parents can't come, and so we
were there to just to love those kids. It was amazing, even in these babies, their resiliency to laugh and feel
secure and at be at peace when someone picked them up and held them.
This whole experience is teaching me that when Jesus said "love your neighbor as yourself" he really meant
it. When my neighbor needs help just to survive, I must be with them.
Last night a local priest, Fr. Pierre, (Fr. Peter!) stopped by the place we are staying, the "Matthew 25 house"
and shared with us a few stories about the people and Haiti. Five years ago he was on his way to a meeting
with the Archbishop when the earthquake hit. The Archbishop perished in the earthquake. It is amazing the
hear of such things, so terrible, and yet there is a very deep faith. In the aftermath, Fr. Pierre did the best he
could help. The local parish that we attended Mass at yesterday actually came into existence the day after
the earthquake. Fr. Pierre went into this neighborhood telling the people he would have Mass in a field
nearby. The people came, and a parish was born from the rubble. They still have Mass outside. Someday
they will build a church, but it has not hindered their faith not having one. I love one thing Fr. Pierre said, "as
Catholics, what we all need, is to love our brothers and sisters were ever they may be, if we do this we can
overcome anything."
It astounds me at how joyful and hopeful
the people are despite lacking the things I
(we) take for granted.
Today we will travel four hours southwest
to an orphanage near a tiny town called
Duverger.
Many blessings,
Fr. Peter

A reading from the Holy Gospel according to
Mark 1:29-39
On leaving the synagogue
Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with
James and John.
Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever.
They immediately told him about her.
He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up.
Then the fever left her and she waited on them.
When it was evening, after sunset,
they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by
demons.
The whole town was gathered at the door.
He cured many who were sick with various diseases,
and he drove out many demons,
not permitting them to speak because they knew him.
Rising very early before dawn, he left
and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed.
Simon and those who were with him pursued him
and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.”
He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages
that I may preach there also.
For this purpose have I come.”
So he went into their synagogues,
preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of
Galilee.

IRS Tax Refund Fraud Update
As tax season is upon us, it is important to be aware
of recent developments in the tax fraud
investigation. An updated document titled “IRS Tax
Fraud Leadership Update” has been posted at the
Archdiocese website:www.seattlearchdiocese.org
According to the IRS the best way to protect yourself
from tax fraud for 2014 return is to file as early as
possible. This will help minimize the likelihood that a
criminal can file a false return in your identity. Filing
an extension early will not have the same effect; the
return must be filed.
