Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
God’s voice has the power to change hearts. In Mark’s
gospel the promise of this authority is fulfilled in Jesus. Jesus
is different from the scribes who preach rules and laws. Rather
than ruling by fear or intimidation Jesus brings healing and
wholeness. By our baptism and our participation in the eucharist
we are called to share God’s love and care.

C.W.L. NEWS
C.W.L. Social &
Silent Auction-Feb. 1st. - all the proceeds will go to the Sisters of
St Joseph to continue their very important work in the poorest country
in the Western Hemisphere - Haiti. Our donations may go to a
nutrition centre to feed and medically care for between 120 and 150
children at any given time until they are healthy and have reached the
stage of growth and development for their age. After this they
come to the centre each month to be weighed and to receive a vitamin
supplement to insure that they continue to stay healthy. You can be
part of this effort: by accepting this invitation. Come &
spend a delightful evening with other ladies of the parish, enjoy some
refreshments and a video about the missions titled: “To the
Ends of the Earth”. And if you see an item that takes your
fancy - bid on it - if yours is the winning bid - you can take home a
nice gift and have the satisfaction of knowing that you have
helped a child in Haiti - you can made a difference.

Prayer for Vocations
O God. who has chosen the Apostles to propagate the faith & to
establish Your Holy Church throughout the world, we earnestly beseech
You to choose from amongst our people many priests, deacons,
religious brothers & sisters and lay persons who will gladly devote
their entire lives in making YOU known & loved by all. Through the
intercession of our Blessed Lady, we ask this through Christ our
Lord. Amen
Joke
At Junior Liturgy they were teaching how God created everything,
including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent
when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam’s
ribs. Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as
though he was ill, and said, “Johnny, what is the
matter?” Little Johnny responded, “I have pain in my
side. I think I’m going to have a wife.”
