1 - 15 FEBRUARY 2015 – FOURTH & FIFTH SUNDAYS OF ORDINARY TIME
To share the Life of God
The people in the gospel twice responded to Jesus as one with
authority: when he taught them and when he cast out the unclean
spirit. Jesus had authority because for three decades of life before Jesus
embarked on his public ministry, he lived and worked the simple life. He
listened to people; he knew and understood their life because he lived
it alongside them. Jesus understood his hearers from his own personal
experience. An experience shared and learned from Mary and Joseph.
Jesus had authority because both in word and deed he touched people in their need. Jesus had authority
because of his intimate relationship with his Father in heaven; the One whose will he faithfully carried out. The
people were astonished because Jesus acted with authority, because he was saying and doing something
new. He was revealing God’s very presence and life. Jesus is “the Holy One of God” among them. And among
us too!
The Good News is that because of our baptism, because we are the children of God and are members of the
Body of Christ, we are given the same authority as Jesus to teach God’s ways and confront and overcome the
power of evil. Our authority does not come from us, but rests in our having been baptised into Christ and the
intimate relationship with him that baptism opens up. Through baptism we are empowered to know who Jesus
is.
Our authority also rests within the Christian community, among those with whom we live, work and worship. The
authority is not ours, but is the fruit of the life given us by God, a life we share with others. This authority we share
because of our baptismal dignity brings with it a responsibility. Those who abuse authority diminish life; those
who respect authority enhance life.
Authentic discipleship implies teaching and acting with the authority that witness to integrity: words and deeds
coinciding in such a way that our lives manifest the same integrity as Jesus’ life. Goodness overcomes evil
when we demonstrate such integrity. We are easily amazed at the eloquent words of others and sometimes
those words are our own. But these words are only truly eloquent and fruitful when our everyday actions witness
to their truth by the very goodness of our lives. Goodness which is the life God gives us!

As the official tracking phase of the planned giving appeal comes to a close, we would like to share some results with you and thank all of those generous parishioners who have participated. As a parish family, we have projected an increase in our planned offertory and associated Gift Aid of over £23,000. This figure is subject to the receipt of signed mandates for the £8,000 pledged last weekend. This is indeed a great accomplishment, though it must be sustained in order to truly be called a success. increase to
