RESPECT FOR LIFE– FEBRUARY, 2015
Req. Rosanne Danson
“It is not only a personal but a social concern
which we must all foster: a concern to make
unconditional respect for human life the
foundation of a renewed society.”
—-Pope Saint John Paul II, The Gospel of
Life (Evangelium Vitae, no.77)

Vaticana. Used with
permission.
Intentions to Saint Peregrine
for a Cure of Cancer
CANCER AND HIV/AIDS MASS
Every Saturday at 4:00PM the Mass intention is for
people with Cancer and HIV/AIDS and their caregivers.
The novena prayer to Saint Peregrine, patron of those
afflicted with Cancer and HIV/AIDS is prayed during
the Mass.
Also, a general blessing with the relic of Saint Peregrine
is done after the novena prayer. The opportunity for
veneration of the relic takes place after the Mass.
ALL ARE WELCOME !

Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time
Deuteronomy 18:15-20
I Corinthians 7:32-35
Mark 1:21-28
The most important question Mark’s Gospel asks is, “Who is Jesus?” Jesus speaks with authority, and
people were stunned with the knowledge of the Scriptures Jesus displayed. Beyond this, his very presence
changes situations. When he drives out the evil spirit, the crowd doesn’t understand when the shrieking
demon calls him by name—”the holy one of God.” They discuss the power over evil and go out to spread
the news throughout all of Galilee, but they keep asking, “Who is he?” For them and for us, it’s more
important to let the holy presence and authority of Jesus into the situations of our lives and of our world
than to look for verbal answers and definitions of who Jesus is.
