Welcome

4^th SUNDAY (B) - January 29, 2012

Deuteronomy 18: 15-20; Psalm 95; 1Corinthians 7: 32-35; Mark 1: 21-28

Mini-reflections on the Sunday scripture readings designed for persons on the run.

From today’s Gospel reading:

Jesus rebuked the evil spirit and said,

“Quiet! Come out of him!”

Reflection:

We have all experienced the power of evil in the world and sometimes given into it. So we listen and Jesus again speaks out on our behalf, “Quiet! Come out of him/her!” That could be our prayer today: to allow Jesus to speak with authority and help us turn from the seductive powers of the world. “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.”

So we ask ourselves:

What strong forces am I struggling against?
How have I experienced Christ’s power working to help me?

CATHOLIC SCHOOLS WEEK BEGINS THIS SUNDAY JANUARY 29, 2012.
We invite all Holy Cross Catholic Academy students that are members of the St. Joseph parish to join us for the School Mass on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. The students are invited to dress in their school uniform and join the St. Joseph's School children in the Entrance procession and in the ministries of the Mass. We thank all the school families for their dedication to Catholic School education and to the life of St Joseph's Parish. May God bless you for all your sacrifices.

EPIPHANY SUNDAY

C PPOSAD Anointing of the Sick

Every first Wednesday of the Month at the 8:15 am Mass.

Next annointing Feburary 1, 2012.

The sacraments of Reconciliation and the Anointing of the Sick are the two sacraments which heal and save the baptized person from sin. We also recall that a sacrament is an outward sign instituted by Christ to give grace. The sign is the anointing of the forehead and palms of the hands with oil, which was blessed on Holy Thursday, specifically for this purpose. The grace comes in varied ways, spiritually and/or physically. The question arises, "Who should be anointed?" According to the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy, we include those who are undergoing surgery, the dying, the seriously ill of any age, the elderly and those who have been anointed before if the condition worsens. The illness may be one of mind, body or soul. Therefore, the Sacrament of Anointing can be administered to those who suffer from chronic illness, those who are seriously ill, those about to have surgery, the seriously handicapped, or those whose health continues to decline.
