Lantana, Florida February 1, 2015 Holy Spirit Catholic Church February 1, 2015 Page 2 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. PASTOR Rev. Kevin C. Nelson PAROCHIAL VICAR Rev. Giuseppe Savaia PRIEST IN RESIDENCE Rev. Thomas Lafreniere DEACONS Deacon Steven Dove Deacon Michael R. Prestera, Jr. SECRETARY - Prudence Endler RECEPTIONIST - Leonita O. Jempty FAITH FORMATION - Carmen West MUSIC MINISTRY - Carol Nicholls MAINTENANCE - Abe Betances and Deana Ortiz 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.

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.
