February 7, 2021: Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time "How is your heart with regard to spiritual exercises? Do you like them? Do you esteem them or do they make you ill at ease?... If you note anything to to which your heart has less inclination, look for the source of such dislike and discover its cause.” - St Francis de Sales TODAY’S READINGS & SPECIAL OBSERVANCES First Reading — finds life on earth to be Sunday: Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time; World drudgery; he is filled with restlessness Day for Consecrated Life; Scout Sunday (Job 7:1-4, 6-7). Monday: St. Jerome Emiliani; St. Josephine Bakhita; International Day of Prayer & Psalm — Praise the Lord, who heals the Awareness Against Human Trafficking brokenhearted (Psalm 147).

Year 4719 Gospel — Jesus cured many who were sick Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary with various diseases (Mark 1:29-39). THE GOOD NEWS The English translation of the Psalm Responses from the Lectionary for Mass © 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. Today’s readings begin with a few verses from the book of Job. First, Job complains that his nights drag on endlessly. Then, worse READINGS FOR THE WEEK yet, “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; / they come Monday: Gn 1:1-19; Ps 104:1-2a, 5-6, 10, 12, 24, to an end without hope” (Job 7:6). Not exactly encouraging, 35c; Mk 6:53-56 these lamentations, not when taken alone. Most of us have been there, though, and the antidote is the Tuesday: Gn 1:20 — 2:4a; Ps 8:4-9; Mk 7:1-13 “good news” that Paul found so compelling that “an obligation Wednesday: Gn 2:4b-9, 15-17; Ps 104:1-2a, 27-28, has been imposed on me, and woe to me if I do not preach it!” 29bc-30; Mk 7:14-23 (1 Corinthians 9:16). Paul felt driven to announce the gospel to Thursday: Gn 2:18-25; Ps 128:1-5; Mk 7:24-30 as many people as possible, “to save at least some” (9:22). Friday: Gn 3:1-8; Ps 32:1-2, 5-7; Mk 7:31-37 This good news is the mystery of the life, death, and Christ, who lifted Simon Peter’s mother-in-law from her Saturday: Gn 3:9-24; Ps 90:2-6, 12-13; Mk 8:1-10 sickbed with a mere touch of his hand. “The whole town was Sunday: Lv 13:1-2, 44-46; Ps 32:1-2, 5, 11; 1 Cor gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various 10:31 — 11:1; Mk 1:40-45 diseases, and he drove out many demons” (Mark 1:33–34)). Our woes and demons are as real as Job’s, and Jesus is our savior. copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

World Day of the Sick February 11

An observation started by John Paul II and continued by , offers a way for believers to offer prayers for those suffering from illnesses. This year, in the midst of a world-wide pandemic, the call to pray for the sick is urgent. The National Association of Catholic Chaplains has sample petitions that can be used in the Universal Prayer / Prayers of the Faithful that can be used on February 11, and the weekend before or after. View sample petitions, other prayers and the letter of Pope Francis for 29th World Day of the Sick 2021.

Dear brothers and sisters,

The celebration of the XXIX World Day of the Sick on 11 February 2021, the liturgical memorial of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Lourdes, is an opportunity to devote special attention to the sick and to those who provide them with assistance and care both in healthcare institutions and within families and communities. We think in particular of those who have suffered, and continue to suffer, the effects of the worldwide coronavirus pandemic. To all, and especially to the poor and the marginalized, I express my spiritual closeness and assure them of the Church’s loving concern.

~Pope Francis February 7, 2021 St. Francis de Sales Catholic Parish Page 7

I am always amazed how so many thoughts from Ibecause I am so distressed by the evil that is pervading the past seem to surface just when I need them to give all aspects of our society. I have come to the conclusion me better understanding about how to proceed when I that too many people are listening to the “evil one on have any doubts. their left shoulder” whispering in their ear; “do whatever But enough about me. How about you? Do you take you want, don’t worry about what is right, don’t worry enough time, especially in this time of change and about the Word of God”. I think all reading this know what challenges, to ask for God’s help in understanding what I am referring to. And while I do not have any intention is taking place. I know it is easier to just get angry and/or of making this any kind of political statement, I want to question what is going on, but my dad always said; “two focus more on how to overcome the evil that surrounds heads are better than one”. And sometimes we choose us each and every day. the wrong one as opposed to asking God to join in our The conclusion I have come to is asking for God’s help thought process. So I recommend that we all take the through prayer. I say that because looking back in my time to ask for God’s help to get us through any and all own life, any time I was presented with circumstances times of stress and unknowing that occur in our lives. And that I needed help to overcome, I prayed. And when most importantly, LISTEN to how God answers our prayers. I was done, I prayed some more. I will admit that as I We can only do that by prayer.

And we “weren’t enough hours in the day” to take time out to don’t have to always ask for something, we can just say pray. That is not an excuse but a fact. I am happy to be “Thank You” as I said earlier. I don’t believe for a minute able to sit down and write this DC every week and also that there is anyone who reads this DC that doesn’t have to attend daily Mass, and most of all, to take time out to questions and/or concerns about what is taking place in pray. our society. So the question is; “how do we deal with it, Time out to pray is not done only to ask God for something. how do we make things better, how do we overcome our Many times I pray just to say “Thank You, Jesus” for all the fears of the unknown?” You all know the answer! blessings in my life.
