6th Sunday in Ordinary Time
February 14 & 15, 2015
Leviticus 13:1-2, 44-46 The leper will dwell apart
Psalm 32 “I will turn to you, Lord,
in time of trouble, and you
will fill me with joy of
salvation.”
1 Corinthians 10:31-1:11 Be imitators of me, as I am
Christ.
Mark 1:40-45 The leprosy left him, and
he was made clean.
Today’s first reading and Gospel show us just how Jesus moves
beyond the expected to bring about God’s reign. The first reading
establishes the standard procedure for dealing with lepers and their
disease. Jesus reaches out and touches the leper, breaking the barriers
established by tradition and in so doing proclaiming a new era of
grace, healing and hope. How can we follow His example in breaking
down barriers today?
1st Sunday of Lent
February 21 & 22, 2015
Genesis 9:8-15
Psalm 25
1 Peter 3:18-22
Mark 1:12-15

Parish Photo Album
Picture taking to update the Parish Photo Album will be after
the 5:00pm Saturday and after all Sunday Masses on a “first
come first served” basis.
If you plan to stay for picture taking, please park at the school
parking lot and make sure you are not blocking any other cars.
Thank you for your cooperation.
“Your sins are forgiven.” We hear these words so often at
church that they have essentially lost all meaning. They have
certainly lost their shock value.
Then again, imagine Montel, Glenn Beck or Bill Maher fac-
ing off with a guest and simply saying, “Hey. No problem
friend. Your deepest, darkest actions have all been forgiven.”
When it comes to our identity, people tend to go to one of two
extremes. We tend to think we are either completely
worthless or that we are “God’s gift to the world.” Neither
perception is accurate. Absolutely, we do very real, very
serious damage to others. But, we are also completely loved
and accepted - no matter what evil we have done.
So describes the paradox of Lent.
Lent is not about wallowing in unworthiness. It’s not about
erasing our dark sides. It’s about letting ourselves be carried,
letting the paralysis of our lives be brought to God. It is
allowing ourselves to live with the tension that we are neither
totally worthless nor a finished product. We let God surprise
us by saying, “Child, you are forgiven.”

Pro-Life Reflection ~Deut 1:17
Reflections. Some say an embryo is too small to have human
rights. But rights do not depend on size.
Do men have more rights than women because they are gener-
ally larger? Are shorter people to enjoy fewer protections than
tall people? The size of a person has nothing to do with his or
her value.
Prayer. O God, You have dominion over all things great and
small, and have created a vast variety of life. May we rever-
ence the very smallest of our brother and sister.
