E: [email protected] www.queenofapostleschurch.org.au FIRST READING: Job 7:1-4:6-7 Job began to speak: Is not man‟s life on earth nothing more than pressed service, his time no better than hired drudgery? Like the slave, sighing for the shade, or the workman with no thought but his wages, months of delusion I have assigned to me, nothing for my own but nights of grief. Lying in bed I wonder, „ When will it be day?‟ Risen I think, „How slowly evening comes!‟ Restlessly I fret till twilight falls. Swifter than a weaver‟s shuttle my days have passed, and vanished, leaving no hope behind. Remember that my life is but a breath, and that my eyes will never again see joy. The Word of the Lord.

St Josephine Bakhita, who was canonized in by St John Paul II in 2000, was a survivor of human trafficking. St. Josephine Bakhita was born in southern Sudan in 1869. As a young girl, she was kidnapped and sold into slavery. Sold and resold in the markets of El Obeid and Khartoum, she was treated brutally by her captors. She did not remember the name she was given by her parents. Bakhita, which means ―fortunate one,‖ was the name given to her by her kidnappers. In 1883, she was bought by an Italian diplomat who sent her to Italy to work as a maid for the daughter of a family friend studying with the Canossian Daughters of Charity. It was there that Bakhita came to know about God whom ―she had experienced in her heart without knowing‖ who God was. In 1890, she was baptized and received the name Josephine. Later, the Italian family came to take their ―property‖ back to Africa. Josephine expressed her desire to stay. When the family insisted she go, she remained firm, later writing: ―I am sure the Lord gave me strength at that moment.‖ With the support of the superior of the Canossian Sisters and the Cardinal of Venice, she won her freedom and later entered the novitiate. For the next 50 years she lived a life of prayer and service as a Canossian Sister before her death in 1947. Pope Francis has declared her feast day, 8th February, to be the International Day of Prayer, Reflection and Action against Human Trafficking.

GOSPEL: Mark 1:29-39 On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went with James and John straight to the house of Simon and Andrew. Now Simon‟s mother-in-law had gone to bed with fever, and they told him about her straight away. He went to her, took her by the hand, and helped her up. And the fever left her and she began to wait on them. That evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and those who were possessed by devils. The whole town came crowding round the door, and he cured many who were suffering from diseases of one kind or another, he also cast out many devils, but he would not allow them to speak, because they know who he was. In the morning, long before dawn, he got up and left the house, and went off to a lonely place and prayed there. Simon and his companions set out in search of him and when they found him they said, „Everybody is looking for you.‟ He answered, „Let us go elsewhere, to the neighboring country towns, so that I can preach there too, because that is why I came.‟ And he went all through Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out devils. The Gospel of the Lord. R/. Praise to Your, Lord Jesus Christ.

R/ Reflections of St Vincent Pallotti The practice of holy prayer lis most necessary for an ecclesiastic. … ―A Christian without prayer is a man without reason.‖ SECOND READING: Corinthians 7:32-35 … ―A missionary I would like to see you free from all worry. An without prayer unmarried man can devote himself to the Lord‟s is a soldier without a sword‖. affairs, all he need worry about is pleasing the Lord; (OOCC,X, pp. 577-578; STA, 150) but a married man has to bother about the world‟s affairs and devote himself to pleasing his wife: he is torn two ways. In the same way an unmarried woman, like a young girl, can devote herself to the Lord‟s affairs; all she need worry about is being holy in body and spirit. The married woman, on the other hand, has to worry about the world‟s affairs and devote herself to pleasing her husband. I say this only to help you, not to put a halter round your necks, but simply to make sure that everything is as it should be, and that you give your undivided attention to the Lord. The Word of the Lord. R: Thanks be to God GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia! A people in darkness have seen a great light; a radiant dawn shines on those lost in death. Alleluia! GOSPEL: Mark 1:12-28 Jesus and his followers went as far as Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath came Jesus went to the synagogue and began to teach. And his teaching made a deep impression on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority. In their synagogue just then there was man possessed by an unclean spirit, and it shouted, ‟What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.‟ But Jesus said sharply, ‟Be quite! Come out of him!‟ And the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and with a loud cry went out of him. The people were so astonished that they started asking each other what it all meant. ‟Here is a teaching that is new‟ they said ‟and with authority behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits and they obey him‟ And his reputation rapidly spread everywhere, through all the surrounding Galilean countryside.

Imitating wives should live as though they had none, and him I will ask pardon for those who mourn should live as though they had my sins. nothing to mourn for; those who are enjoying life should live as though there were nothing to laugh (OOCC,X, p. 48; STA, 219) about; those whose life is buying things should live as though they had nothing of their own; and those who have to deal with the world should not become engrossed in it.

Alleluia! GOSPEL: Mark 1:14-20 After John had been arrested, Jesus went into Galilee. There he proclaimed the Good News from God. „The time has come‟ he said „ and the kingdom of God is close at hand. Repent, and believe the Good News.‟ As he was walking along by the Sea of Galilee he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the lake— for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, „Follow me and I will make you into fishers of men.‟ And at once they left their nets and followed him. Going on a little further, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John; they too were in their boat, mending their nets. He called them at once and, leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the men he employed, they went after him. R: The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to Your, Lord Jesus Christ.

Once again the Lord called, „Samuel! Samuel!‟ Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, „Here I am, since you called me.‟ He replied, „I did not call you, my son, go back and lie down.‟ Samuel had as yet no knowledge of the Lord and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. Once again the Lord called, the third time. He got up and went to Eli and said, „Here I am, since you called me.‟ Eli then understood that it was the Lord who was calling the boy, and he said to Samuel, „Go and lie down, and if someone called say, “Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.”‟ So Samuel went and lay down in his place. The Lord then came and stood by, calling as he had done before, „Samuel! Samuel!‟ Samuel answered, „Speak, Lord, your servant is listening.‟ Samuel grew up and the Lord was with him and let no word of his fall to the ground. The Word of the Lord.

In the scroll of the book it stands written that I should do your will. My God, I delight in your law in the depth of my heart. R/ 4. Your justice I have proclaimed in the great assembly. My lips I have not sealed; you know it, O Lord. R/ SECOND READING: Corinthians 6:13-15.17-20 Reflections of St Vincent Pallotti What would my works be, if they were not raised and ennobled by the grace of God … Nothing, nothing at all! … Having thrown myself entirely on Divine Providence, I am certain [that] my works and smallest thoughts … shall receive … great nobility and excellence. The body is not meant for fornication; it is for the (OOCC,X, p.80; STA, 76) Lord, and the Lord for the body. God who raised the Lord from the dead, will by his power raise us up too. You know, surely, that your bodies are members making up the body of Christ; anyone who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him Keep away from fornication. All the other sins are committed outside the body; but to fornicated is to sin against your own body. Your body, you know, is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you since you received him from God. You are not your own property; you have been bought and paid for. That is why you should use your body for the glory of God. The Word of the Lord. R: Thanks be to God GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia! We have found the Messiah: Jesus Christ, who bring us truth and grace. Alleluia! GOSPEL: John 1:35-42 As John stood with two of his disciples, Jesus passed, and John stared hard at him and said, „Look, there is the lamb of God.‟ Hearing this, the two disciples followed Jesus. Jesus turn round, saw them following and said, „What do you want?‟ They answered, „Rabbi,‟ - which means Teacher — „where do you live?‟ „Come and see‟ he replied; so they went and say where he lived, and stayed with him the rest of that day. It was about the tenth hour. Once of these two who became followers of Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter. Early next morning, Andrew met his brother and said to him, „We have found the Messiah‟ - which means the Christ „ and he took Simon to Jesus. Jesus looked hard at him and said, „You are Simon son of John; you are to be called Cephas‟ - meaning Rock. The Gospel of the Lord. R: Praise to Your, Lord Jesus Christ.
