+ HEALING MINISTRY

During Jesus’ ministry “he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons.” This is the case in today’s Gospel. Jesus fulfills the vision of Psalm 147: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” Jesus knew, however, that he couldn’t possibly heal all the illness in the world. No matter how many people he cured or how many hours he ministered, there always would be more suffering people like Job who craved his healing touch. His primary mission was not to rid the world of all suffering. His “purpose” was to preach the coming of the reign of God that heals, yes, but ultimately transcends and transforms earthly suffering. With Paul, Jesus could have said, “Woe to me if I do not preach” that good news.

REFLECTING ON GOD’S WORD

Sue loves to iron clothes. In the process, she says, she also irons out her life, all its wrinkles and creases. She says she can stand neither her clothes nor her life when they’re all rumpled. Robert runs every day. A lot of folks do. He hasn’t missed a day in five years. But it’s also where he and they pace out the rhythms of their lives. More than one frazzled mother has locked herself in the bathroom for twenty minutes of solitude and quasi-peace. Sometimes deserts look like bathrooms. Even teenagers know the need, so they crank up some tunes, stretch out on their beds, and listen beyond the music to the melodies played upon their lives. I suspect there is a lot going on in those spaces. That’s where kids get raised and loves get sorted and businesses are merged and decisions unraveled and re-raveled. But somewhere in the midst of it all we also make some decisions about who and what we want to become in this life—at any age. That’s where goodness has a chance to surface and values are affirmed and commitments are remade to spouses and friends for the umpteenth time and faith sprouts forth. And then it becomes prayer, out of the silence and the stillness and the darkness of time spent alone. - Rev. Joseph J. Juknailis World Library Publications

LENTEN OBSERVANCES FOR 2015

The holy season of Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. The Mass schedule for Ash Wednesday is 8:00 AM, NOON and 7:00 PM. Ashes will be distributed at the end of Mass.

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are days of abstinence and fasting. All Fridays during Lent are days of abstinence from meat.

Stations of the Cross will be prayed every Friday at Noon in the Church.

Please take advantage of our up-coming Parish Mission with Fr. Kevin Mac Donald. The mission in-cludes a Penance Service on Tuesday evening with multiple priests available for confession.

Participation in daily Mass is recommended during Lent as well as reading of Scripture, devotions such as praying the Divine Mercy Chaplet and praying the Lenten Rosary available every evening at 5:15 PM in the Church.

Be solicitous to the sick, the poor, the underprivileged, the imprisoned, the discouraged, and the stranger. These are suggestions for performing good works and alms giving, in particular Operation Rice Bowl and our own St. Vincent de Paul outreach through donations to the Poor Box.

This Lent the Holy Spirit wants to transfigure us into the image of Christ and fill us with the fruits of the Holy Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness and self control. (Gal 5: 22)
