THE SIXTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Daily Bible Inspirations: This bible app sends a daily remindWORSHIP er. Receive inspirational and inspiring bible verses along with stunning ENCOUNTER THE JOY OF THE GOSPEL Year Two: Focus on the Domestic Church –Marriage & Family Jesus is encountered in daily life within the domestic church, so that the Holy Spirit gently blows upon the faith of everyone in the family, turning sparks to embers and embers to flame! 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time "He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere." Nothing could stop the crowds from gathering. Men, women, and children traveled from near and far--everywhere--to find Jesus. Even when he was not easily accessible, even when he was in deserted places that were probably remote, hard to find, and not welcoming to weary pilgrims, they found him. Word had spread quickly about the miraculous healing of the leprous man. And people wanted to know what it was all about. Undoubtedly, once they found Jesus, they knew that this was no ordinary man. Yes, he had the power to cure illnesses and drive out demons. But more than that, he had the power to change hearts. His words of compassion and mercy, and the actions that backed them up, must have caused many a conversion during those encounters in the deserted places. Whether it was simple curiosity or profound faith that led all of those people to find Jesus we'll never know. It was most likely some of both. But regardless of the motivation, once they found him everyone could see Jesus for who he really was. Although we don't have the opportunity to see him in person, we do have the chance to search for Jesus and to find him. Sometimes, he may seem remote. Maybe we don't automatically feel his presence. Perhaps, when times are tough, we wonder where he is hiding. But when we persevere in our journey by praying, reading the Bible, and receiving the sacraments, we too can find the Lord. And as we bring our needs to him, Jesus will be "moved with pity" for us as well and will extend to us the healing love that has transformed so many hearts throughout Christian history. Deacon Corner: (By Deacon Al) Jesus’ ministry, even today, is to bring healing and wholeness. He continues it through the Church and through us. 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. We all need the healing of our minds, our memories and our broken relationships. Jesus now uses counselors, doctors, friends or even strangers in his healing ministry. It is good to identify with the mother-in-law of Peter. We can ask for the ordinary healing we need in our own lives. When we are healed, let us not forget to thank Jesus for his goodness, mercy, and compassion. As Jesus turned toward us, let us turn to serve others. Our own healing process is completed only when we are ready to help others in their needs and to focus on things outside us. Let us communicate with the sick through our cards, telephone calls and emails. Let us exercise the healing power of Jesus by visiting the sick and praying for their healing. Let us remember that we need the Lord’s strength, not only to make ourselves and others well, but to make ourselves and others whole. Worship Corner: Prayer for unity and intercessions. The grateful memory of God’s salvation leads us to make a bold petition, our main petition at every Eucharist: We pray for unity. “Humbly we pray that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit” (Eucharistic Prayer II). To this petition we add prayers for the bishop of Rome and for the bishop of the local Church; we pray for the living and the dead and especially for ourselves, that through the intercession of the saints we may one day arrive at that table in heaven of which this table is only a hint and a taste. We look forward to that glorious day and raise our voices with those of all the saints who have gone before us as the priest raises the consecrated bread and wine and offers a toast, a doxology, a prayer of glory to God in the name of Christ: “Through him, and with him, and in him, O God, almighty Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory and honor is yours, for ever and ever.” Our “Amen” to this prayer acclaims our assent and participation in the entire Eucharistic Prayer.

(Living In Faith Everyday) Our LIFE session offered time for reflection, conversation, and prayer. Begin the EXAMEN in LENT and make it a lifetime practice! Individual refection time: The Examen Become aware of God’s presence. Look back on the events of the day in the company of the Holy Spirit. The day may seem confusing to you—a blur, a jumble, a muddle. Ask God to bring clarity and understanding. Review the day with gratitude. Gratitude is the foundation of our relationship with God. Walk through your day in the presence of God and note its joys and delights. Focus on the day’s gifts. Look at the work you did, the people you interacted with. What did you receive from these people? Pay attention to small things—the food you ate, the sights you saw, and other seemingly small pleasures. God is in the details. Pay attention to your emotions. Reflect on the feelings you experienced during the day. Boredom? Elation? Resentment? Compassion? Anger? Confidence? What is God saying through these feelings? God will most likely show you some ways that you fell short. Make note of these sins and faults. Choose one feature of the day and pray from it. Ask the Holy Spirit to direct you to something during the day that God thinks is particularly important. It may involve a feeling—positive or negative. It may be a significant encounter with another person or a vivid moment of pleasure or peace. Or it may be something that seems rather insignificant. Look at it. Pray about it. Allow the prayer to arise spontaneously from your heart Look toward tomorrow. Ask God to give you light for tomorrow’s challenges. Pay attention to the feelings that surface as you survey what’s coming up. Are you doubtful? Cheerful? Apprehensive? Full of delighted anticipation? Allow these feelings to turn into prayer. Seek God’s guidance. Ask God for help and understanding. Pray for hope.

We need nine (8-9) additional adults/young adults/High School help to make this happen. Contact Fran Kuzma at 275-7962 ext. 1120 to help. YOUTH This week at EDGE/LIFETEEN we began a four part series on the four marks of the Church. The four marks of the Church are shaped by the identity the Church has in Christ. The four marks are “One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic.” We identify these marks every time we recite the Nicene Creed. At our session, we discussed the nature of the Church as “one” and we talked about our one Baptism, our unity in Jesus Christ, and our one profession of faith. The teens had the opportunity to discuss their role as a member of the body of Christ. We concluded by reminding them of their Baptism and gave each of them a candle to represent our mission as a member of the one Church, the body of Christ. Our next EDGE/ LIFETEEN session will be held Monday, February 23, from 6:308:30pm. Our topic: Sanctified—Holy JUSTICE & PEACE U. S.

REFLEXIONES 6º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario En tiempos de Jesús, si una persona se enfermaba casi siempre era considerado como un castigo de Dios. La persona enferma, además del sufrimiento que le causaba la enfermedad, era considerada pecadora. El enfermo era excluido socialmente. No inspiraba sentimientos de compasión o ternura. Por el contrario, era repugnado y nadie se le acercaba. La peor enfermedad era la lepra. Un leproso tenía que abandonar la ciudad y vivir fuera de ella, lejos de su familia y amigos. ¡Qué terrible situación! Porque además, si alguien sin darse cuenta se le acercaba al leproso, éste debía de gritar "¡soy impuro!" "El que haya sido declarado enfermo de lepra, traerá la ropa descosida, la cabeza descubierta, se cubrirá la boca e irá gritando: '¡Estoy contaminado! ¡Soy impuro!'" (Lv 13, 45-46). Los leprosos sufrían por partida doble en el cuerpo y el espíritu: dolor físico por un lado y sentir la condena por el abandono de Dios, por el otro. Sin embargo, Jesús ve todo y actúa contracorriente. Acercándose al enfermo, le toca sin miedo a contaminarse y con este milagro confirma que la salud es un derecho de la persona. Y más importante aún, que esta persona no es castigada por Dios: "Se le acercó a Jesús un leproso para suplicarle de rodillas: 'Si tú quieres, puedes curarme'. Jesús compadeció de él, y extendiendo la mano, lo tocó y le dijo: '¡Sí quiero: Sana!". ¿Qué compromiso nos queda al escuchar este Evangelio? El Papa Francisco nos impulsa a ser miembros activos para combatir la enfermedad y la pobreza en el mundo. Pide que salgamos a la periferia y nos involucremos en el servicio a los más necesitados. ¿Lo haremos? ©Liturgical Publications Inc.
