Outcasts This Sunday before Ash Wednesday Saint
Mark is presen"ng us with the ques"on:
“Who is this Jesus?” Mark’s answer? “The
One who has come to bring outcasts back
in.” He has come for the outcasts, the
outsiders, the lepers, the sinners, and those who are
disdained. The great irony is that Jesus, the One who came
for outcasts, Himself had to get out of town. Note that in
several of these gospel accounts we’ve heard, St. Mark
reports: “Jesus could no longer go openly into any town,
but had to stay outside in places where nobody lived.”
That’s true even today in our surrounding culture.
It is not poli"cally correct, we are told, to talk about Jesus
in public. At Christmas we’re supposed to suppress
references to Him; we’re supposed to replace Christmas
with Winter Fes"val. So also Easter is for bunnies and
Halloween is for spooks.
The One whom the Father sent for outcasts has
become Himself the outcast. But really, who are the
outcasts? We, the ones who have been cast out from the
Garden of Eden, we are the outcasts. We are the ones God
the Son has come to heal from the leprosy of sin. What
irony it is that we become the ones who cast Him out,
crucified Him outside the walls of Jerusalem, and keep Him,
like a leper, at a safe distance so He can’t touch us.
Is Jesus a part of your life or not? Will Jesus be a
part of what you think, say and do tomorrow? Is He “in” or
“out” of your inner circle, those close to you, the
community of people among whom you live? Is He “in” or
“out” of your daily life? So when was the last "me you
went to confession, revealed your sins and showed the
priest your own spiritual leprosy… and then received from
him God’s healing power in the Sacrament of
Reconcilia"on? And if we allow Jesus to touch us, to touch
our aQtudes, our hearts and our ways of thinking, some
may begin to shun us and we too may quickly become an
outsider, an outcast.
At the end of Saint Mark’s Gospel we find Jesus in
another Garden, the Garden of the Resurrec"on. With
Mary Magdalene and her companions we find ourselves
healed, outcasts no longer, able to walk this earth now in
the glorious freedom of the sons and daughters to God,
redeemed sinners, a people healed of sin’s leprosy, vic"ms
and outcasts no longer. So the next "me you find yourself
talking about who’s “in” and who’s “out” maybe it would
be a good thing to think about who Jesus considers to be
“in” and who is “on the outs” with Him. When we cast God
out of our lives we ourselves become the outcasts.

FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Through two recent dona"ons of very caring people, we
were able to add to our Physical Educa"on classes and the PreK
and Kindergarten classes. A dona"on to purchase snowshoes has
allowed Mrs. Wenzel to take students snowshoeing during the
school day. The PreK and Kindergarten classes have added four
iPads to their classroom. Having these available is allowing the
students to learn through many apps on the iPads.
Each student will be bringing home an oval shaped St.
John the Bap"st Catholic School s"cker. The s"ckers were possible
through a generous dona"on. Please place this s"cker proudly
and help promote our school.
We look forward to seeing you at St. John’s Parish
Benefit.
God bless, Jeff
