Page 2 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time A Closer Look at Today’s Gospel… Today we continue to read from Mark's Gospel, learning more about the ministry of Jesus. Jesus cured Simon's mother-in-law, and she immediately began to serve Jesus and his disciples. Jesus also cured many others who were brought to him, healing their illnesses and driving out demons. As we will see throughout Mark's Gospel, Jesus did not permit the demons to speak because they knew his identity and would have revealed it to those who were present. On the morning after this busy day, Jesus retreated in prayer, but was pursued by Simon and others who brought news that many people were looking for him. At this point in Mark's Gospel, we begin to see a distinct role for the inner circle of Jesus' disciples—they act as intermediaries between Jesus and the people. Jesus reports to his disciples that they need to leave Capernaum to preach in other places. Today's Gospel completes a picture of Jesus' ministry: preaching, curing the sick, driving out demons, and then moving on to continue this work in another place. Mark's Gospel tells us that Jesus did this throughout Galilee. Jesus' compassion and healing of the sick is a sign of the Kingdom of God. The Church continues to extend Christ's healing presence to others in its ministry to the sick. In the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, the Church prays for spiritual and physical healing, forgiveness of sins, and comfort for those who are suffering from illness. In today's Gospel we also notice the importance of prayer in Jesus' daily life. Jesus rose early in the morning, removed himself from the crowds, and went to a deserted place to pray. When the disciples found him, he told them that it was time to move on. We believe that in his prayers Jesus found guidance and direction from God. We also bring our decision-making to God in prayer, asking for his guidance and direction in our lives. —LoyolaPress.com GOD has created me to do him some definite service. He has committed some work to me which he has not committed to another. I have a mission...I am a link in a chain, a band of connection between persons. He has not created me for nothing. I shall do good. I shall do his work. If I am in sickness, may my sickness serve him; in perplexity, may my perplexity serve him; if I am in sorrow, may my sorrow serve him. He does nothing in vain, He knows what he is about. Amen. —Blessed John Henry Newman February 8, 2015 Called to be Merciful Diocese of San Diego 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal St. Didacus Parish is pleased to participate in the 2015 Annual Catholic Appeal.

Page 5 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Salvation, not healing or teaching, is Christ’s greatest gift In his homily at a daily Mass at the Vatican on January 22nd, Pope Francis reminded the congregation that although Jesus can bring relief to those who suffer, the most important reality is that Jesus brings salvation from sin. Commenting on the Gospel reading, which told of the crowds flocking to Jesus, the Pope observed that many people were looking for miracles, while others were hoping to hear a great teacher. Pope Francis said: What, though, is most important? That Jesus heals? No, that is not the most important thing. That He teaches us? That is not the most important thing either. It is that He saves! He is the Savior and we are saved by him: this is the most important thing, and this is the strength of our faith. Catholic World News - January 22, 2015 Kid’s Corner February 8, 2015 Making Time for Prayer How often have we heard or said these words: “I wish I had time to pray.” In today’s Gospel, we see a typical day in the life of Jesus: hard work and prayer. In his work, he healed Peter’s mother-in-law and the many ill people who were brought to him. He preached the Good News. He went off to a lonely place to pray and, through prayer, to renew himself. The apostles sought him out and asked him to return quickly to the village where the people needed him. Like Jesus, we fill our lives with doing and praying. Like Jesus, we will be asked to respond to the needs of others. Jesus felt the need for prayer in his life. We, too, need quiet moments to remember who we are, why we are. We need to set aside time—time to turn to God and to seek God’s presence, time to renew and grow in our friendship with God. Prayer is talking with God, listening to God. Prayer can be formal, like saying the Our Father or the Apostles’ Creed; it can be informal, speaking with God in our own words. Prayer can take the form of asking, thanking, praising, saying we are sorry. We can pray together or we can pray alone. Even our work can be a form of prayer. Just like you make plans for other activities in your day, planning good times for prayer will help you be successful. When is the best time for you to pray? What is the best place? In what ways can you pray while you are at work or school? How do you pray when you are alone? What is your favorite prayer? —Celebrating the Gospels Who May Preach With rare exception, for example, at Masses with children, current liturgical law limits preaching homilies during the Eucharistic celebration to ordained ministers. This being said, it doesn't mean that all baptized Christians aren’t called to preach the Gospel. In fact, we are, by the very way we live. And sometimes the preaching by the actions of our lives is far more eloquent and fruitful than words. And far more challenging. And far more rewarding. —Living Liturgy Pagina 6 Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Llamados a ser misericordioso Campaña Católica Anual 2015 Diócesis de San Diego La parroquia de San Didacus se complace en participar en el "Llamado a ser misericordiosos 2015” de la Campaña Anual Católica de la Diocesis de San Diego.
