Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us. —Psalm 95:6
AUTHORITY FROM GOD
PRESENTATION OF THE
LORD PRAYER
Eternal God, we offer you this
humble prayer: as your onlybegotten Son, having taken on our
human flesh, was presented in the
temple, make us worthy to be presented before you with purified
hearts. Through Jesus Christ, your
Son. Amen.

According to Moses, the people decided they didn't want to hear God's voice
directly any more. It was much too frightening. Why couldn't God send human teachers, prophets, instead? God agreed, but with a warning. The people
had better listen to those teachers, because they spoke in God's name.
That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them and for us. How
do I know this teacher is truly from God? And if the teacher is from God, are
all parts of the teaching meant for me? We have the Church and scripture to
help us with those questions, but still there are always a few loose ends.
That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today's Gospel: "The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes." The people knew that this Jesus was authentic-truly
a teacher sent by God. They knew it by hearing him.

VOCATION CHALICE MINISTRY
Vocation Chalice Ministry is an effort
to pray for an increase of vocations to
the priesthood and Religious Life.
Please note that beginning 2015, we
have moved this ministry to the
9:00AM Mass on Sundays instead of
10:30AM. If you are interested in
bringing the Vocation Chalice home, call the parish office during office hours or you may send an
e-mail to our parish email.
Each Sunday after communion, the family scheduled will receive the Vocation Chalice which has
been set aside for this purpose. They receive a
blessing and take the chalice home, putting it in a
place of honor. Each day of the week, the family
prays for an increase in and perseverance of vocations. The following Sunday they return the Vocation Chalice at the Offertory.

It’s not just a man’s disease. One in three women die of heart disease and stroke each
year, yet it’s 80% preventable with education and lifestyle changes. Friday, February
6th, is National Wear Red Day. Here’s what it means to GO RED.
See your doctor - Ask your doctor to check your blood pressure and cholesterol. Learn the
difference between good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Know your heart score.
Live Healthy - Stop smoking, loose weight, exercise and eat healthy. It’s up to
you. No one can do it for you.
Know the sign of a Heart Attack - We think it won’t happen to us, but heart disease kills
one out of three women.
Make healthy good choices for you and your family - Lower your intake of unhealthy fats
and sugars. Add more fruit and vegetables to your diet.
Wear Red on Friday, February 6th - Tell every woman you know that heart disease is the
No. 1 killer of women, but with lifestyle changes we can lover the risk.
