Today’s Gospel continues our reading from Mark and describes
what some believe was likely to have been a typical day in Jesus’
ministry. Jesus and the disciples that chose to follow him in last
week’s Gospel arrive at Capernaum, a small village on the Sea of
Galilee. Jesus teaches in the synagogue on the Sabbath. Mark reports that the people respond to Jesus’ teaching with
astonishment, noting Jesus’ authority and contrasting it with the
scribes’. Early in Mark’s Gospel we already find evidence of the
tension that will manifest itself fully in Jerusalem.
After Jesus’ preaching, an even more astonishing thing happens.
A man possessed with an unclean spirit calls out to Jesus. As we
see in this example and throughout Mark’s Gospel, the spirits and
demons seem to know Jesus and are often fearful of him. In fact,
they seem to understand Jesus’ identity better than his disciples.
As we will read again and again in Mark’s Gospel, Jesus orders the spirit to be quiet and drives the unclean spirit out of the man.
Jesus’ ability to heal those possessed by demons is an indication
of his power over evil.

St. Blaise’s feast day is on February 3rd. From being a healer of bodily ailments, Saint Blaise
became a physician of souls, then retired for a time
to a cavern where he remained in prayer. As bishop
of Sebastea, Blaise instructed his people, as much
by his example as by his words, and the great
virtues and sanctity of the servant of God were attested by many
miracles. From all parts, the people came flocking to him for the
cure of bodily and spiritual ills.
Throat Blessing will be offered after each of the Masses on
the weekend of February 3rd & 4th.
No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow.
Happy Groundhog Day! February 2nd.
