Bulletin Deadline 10:00 a.m. Thursday, the week before publication.
So Jesus said to those that believed in him, “If you obey my teaching, you are really my disciples; you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. John 8:31-32 REFLECTION. Pope John Paul II, in his weekly audiences between September 1979 and November 1984, were comprised of a catechesis on the bodily dimension of human personhood, sexuality, and marriage. When confronted with a fundamental question about the meaning of marriage and human sexuality Jesus appealed to ‘the beginning’ described in the opening Chapters of Genesis. John Paul II proposed to do the same. (Theology of the Human Body n17) Pope John Paul II had the extraordinary ability to plumb to the very depths our Lords holy Church’s teachings on marriage and human sexuality. The Holy Father had the incomprehensible gift to present these beautiful truths, given to us by Christ Jesus, in a manner and language that could be easily understood by Modern Man. Next week excerpts from the first chapter of The Theology of The Human Body, ORIGINAL UNITY OF MAN AND WOMAN, will be presented. PRAYER. Sacred Heart of Jesus, with a profound sense of love and gratitude we thank you for the gift of Pope St. John Paul II. May the Holy Saint’s teachings on marriage and family life expose and destroy the confusion that exists in our modern world today. Ed Cecil, Respect Life Committee

STEWARDSHIP
+VOCATION VIEW+
The Lord will come when we least expect him. Is he
knocking now, asking us to serve as a priest or
religious? (Luke 12:49-53)
First Sunday of Lent
First Reading: Genesis 9:8-15
Second Reading: 1 Peter 3:18-22
Gospel: Mark 1:12-15
Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading: Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46
Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 10:31–11:1
Gospel: Mark 1:40-45
In the same way that leprosy separated people from
their communities until they were healed, sin sepa-
rates us from God until we ask for forgiveness and
healing. Let us have the faith of the leper in today’s
Gospel, and believe in the healing words and touch
of Jesus when it is our time to need forgiveness.
“So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do
everything for the glory of God.” 1 Corinthians 10:31
St. Paul goes straight to the essence of stewardship, "do
everything for the Glory of God." If we see stewardship
as a life in gratitude to God, all we do, say, or give is a
thankful response that gives glory to the Giver of that very
life.
REMINDER
Stewardship forms are due Monday, February 12.
Please help us in preparing our 2018-2019 parish budget by

2018 Black and Indian Mission Collection
Next weekend, we will take up the annual Black and Indian
Mission Collection (BIMC). This Collection exists to help diocesan
communities build the Church and preach the Gospel of Jesus
among the African American, Native American, and Alsada
Native people of God. Your donations help fund parish-based
catechetical programs, support teacher and catechist
professional development, encourage vocations to the
priesthood and religious life, and create diocesan structures,
such as our own archdiocesan Office of Multicultural Ministry,
that support ministry and evangelization in these diverse cultural
communities. Please be generous.
