Gospel Reflection
February 1, 2015
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dt 18:15–20; Ps 95:1–2, 6–7, 7–9
1 Cor 7:32–35; Mk 1:21–28
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 over 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 to 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
still can follow Paul’s advice by making sure our lives
have a sense of balance between worldly affairs and
the things of God.
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?

New Parish App Coming Soon!
In the coming weeks Holy Name will launch our own
App for iPhone and Android smart phones. This will allow us to better communicate with you throughout the
week and keep you updated with relevant parish news
or updates.
The App is very well designed and very intuitive. It will be a great resource for parishioners by providing daily Mass readings, Catholic news
and prayers, convenient prayer and Confession reminders, our bulletins
and more.
We hope for our new App to be a tool for fostering stronger parish life at
Holy Name and better engaging the New Evangelization. Please watch
the bulletin in the coming weeks for our official launch information.

Dear Family and Friends at Holy Name:
We would like to thank everyone of you who helped

Stewardship A Way of Life
In today’s readings Jesus and Moses are recognized as speaking and acting with authority of
God. Both Jesus and Moses acted as a bridge
between the people and God. For us the scriptures are a bridge for God’s truth. It is part of our
responsibility as disciples of Jesus to learn from
the scriptures, to listen attentively at Mass, to
read scripture prayerfully ourselves, and to learn
more about the Bible through reading, studying
and learning with others.
