“On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the
house of Simon and Andrew with James and John.
Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever.
They immediately told Him about her.
He approached, grasped her hand,
and helped her up.
Then the fever left her and she waited on them….
...For this purpose have I come.
So He went into their synagogues, praying and
driving out demons throughout Galilee. Mark 1:29-39

ST. JAMES CATHOLIC PARISH JANUARY 28, 2018
Words from our Pastor
Brothers and Sisters:
Job asks us today: “Is not man’s life on earth a drudgery?” Yes we know that in the end, Job received so many gifts from God because his faith did not fail. We can con-trast the feelings of Job in the first reading today with those of Jesus in the Gospel: “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” In the First Letter to the Corinthians. Saint Paul tells us of his challenges: “All this I do for the sake of the gospel, so that I too may have a share in it.”
Today in the three readings we are given the inner sense of three different people and their relationship to what the Father has asked of them. We can put them in this order: Job speaks before knowing of the salvation given to us in Christ Jesus. Jesus speaks to us of His inner calling to proclaim the Good News. Saint Paul then tells us how to proclaim that Good News so that all can come to know Jesus.
Most of us probably already know the sto-ry of Job. He was a man who believed completely in the Lord and had received enormous blessings. The devil tries to undo this faith of Job. Even-tually all the blessings are removed and sufferings are heaped on Job. While Job questions what is happening, never doubts nor loses faith.
Are we that strong in faith? Can we trust God even when we ques-tion? Do we accept both blessings and sufferings from our Lord?
The second reading, from the First Letter to the Corinthians, is Saint Paul’s account of how he tries to live the Good News. Saint Paul is clear: I must preach the Good News! Here we see Saint Paul not just enduring all of the trials and tribulations, but recognizing that preaching the Good News is required of him because he believes in Jesus.
Does our faith impel us to share our faith with others? Are we able to tell others about our faith in Jesus? Are we will-ing to suffer because we believe that Jesus is the Lord?
The Gospel today is from Saint Mark. We are still at the beginning of this Gospel. Jesus is just beginning His public ministry. What is truly strong in the Gospel today is that everyone is looking for Jesus and that there is no place for Him to be away from the people. Jesus responds to that by saying: “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.”
The whole purpose of the life of Jesus is to preach the King-dom, to proclaim the Good News: God loves us and invites us to share His life.
...Father Jesus

CHURCH IN LATIN AMERICA COLLECTION
10% of this weekend’s collection will go for the collection for the Church in Latin America. Although the people are faith-filled, the needs in this region of the world are great and can often seem insurmountable. The distance in rural areas and deteriorated roads make it difficult for some communi-ties to have mass regularly. Language barriers and lack of resources make catechetical material difficult to produce. We are called to share our faith with all, and this collection is a prophetic and bold way to do so. Thank you and God bless you. Most Rev. Samuel J. Aquila, Archbishop of Denver

everyone who helped with the TOOTSIE ROLL Campaign last fall. It was very successful—thanks to all the volunteers.

FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME……….....……...…...................JANUARY 28, 2018
Pope Francis continued his meditations on liturgy by discussing the readings at Mass, when the faithful are called to have an open heart and remain silent to listen to the Gospel .
“How many times, while the Word of God is being read, you hear: ‘Look at him… look at her… look at that hat she’s wearing; It’s ridiculous…’ And People start to chitchat. Right?” the pope said during his weekly general audience in St. Peter’s Square Wednesday morning.
The reading is “an experience that takes place ‘live’ and not by hearsay,” Francis explained, because it is the moment in which God speaks to his people .
“The pages of the Bible stop being a written word to become a living word, pronounced by God,” he said. “It’s God who, through the person who’s reading, speaks to us and questions us who listen with faith.”
For this reason the pope encouraged the faithful to look to the Gospel and not the newspaper to get the news of the day. “The Word of God is the Word of God!” Francis said, “we can read the newspaper later.”
The reading is food served by God to feed our spiritual life, the pope continued, which draws from the “bountiful feast” of the Old and New Testament. Francis also encouraged mass goers not to forget the importance of the Responsorial Psalm, which is meant to encourage meditation on the reading. “It’s good for the Psalm to be enhanced with song, at least in the refrain, ” the pope said.
The readings, and the songs drawn from Scripture, also “express and favor ecclesial communion, accompanying the journey of each and every one, ” he added. Francis also stressed the importance of having good readers, “not those who read incomprehensibly and no one understands anything,” who should prepare and rehearse before the Mass.
The pope offered these suggestions to encourage people at Mass to listen to the Gospel, which is essential for their everyday lives. “How could we face our earthy pilgrimage, with its trials and challenges, without being regularly fed and illuminated by the Word of God which rings in the Liturgy? ” Francis asked.
“Definitely it’s not enough to hear with our ears, without welcoming in our hearts the seed of the divine Word, allowing it to bear fruit.”
Listening to the liturgy is not enough, it must reach the heart of the faithful in order for it to lead to action. “This is the journey of the Word of God: From the ears to the heart to the hands, ”

Pope on Liturgy: Read the Gospel,
not the papers to get the GOOD NEWS!
