4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Lenten Soup Suppers at Both Parishes
Ash Wednesday is February 14th
which begins the
Lenten season. In
this season of
Lent we embrace
prayer, fasting,
and alms giving. Join us for soup
suppers and Friday Devotions
each Friday during this Lenten
season as one way to observe
these three key penitential
practices of Lent.
The soup suppers will be served
every Friday during Lent from 5:00
to 6:00PM in the parish hall fol-
lowed by Friday devotions in the
church. The suppers consist of
simple meatless soups.
Parish groups or individual
families are invited to sign up
to sponsor a soup supper on
one of the Fridays during Lent.
All alms given at the soup suppers
will go to CRS Rice Bowl.
Please contact either parish office
to sign up for a Friday or with any
questions. Spots are filling quickly,
so call soon!

THIS WEEK’S: 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading —(Deuteronomy 18:15-20)
Responsorial Psalm —(Psalm 95)
Second Reading —
(1 Corinthians 7:32-35)
Gospel —(Mark 1:21-28)
NEXT WEEK’S: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
First Reading— The main question in the
book of Job is: why do innocent people suffer?
The plot of the story is established in the open-
ing twelve verses of this lengthy book: Job, a
wise man “blameless and upright” with many
blessings from God, including children and
wealth, is suddenly put to the test by Satan.
Will Job remain strong in his faith when all is
lost and suffering ensues?
In this reading we hear of Job’s reaction to one
of his friends who attempts to comfort and
console Job, offering various sound and rational
explanation for his recent misfortunes. But Job
finds no relief in Eliphaz’s words; his pain is too
great. “I shall not see happiness again.”
At the end of the book, after Job’s deep ques-
tioning and God’s thought-provoking reply, Job
does find resolution and reward.
(Job 7:1-4,6-7)
Responsorial Psalm—“Praise the Lord,
who heals the brokenhearted.” (Psalm 147)
Second Reading—In this section of Paul’s
letter to the Corinthians he defends his
apostleship. While Paul does have the lawful
right to charge a fee for his preaching, he
chooses not to, because he views his preaching
of the Gospel more as a “stewardship” author-
ized by the Lord than an occupation deserving a
just wage. In fact, Paul’s sense of mission is so
great that his outreach must include all people.
This demands extreme measures, even if, in the
end, he can only reach some: “I have become
all things to all, to save at least some.” Paul’s
life is completely attuned to his work for, and
his participation in, the Gospel.
(1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23)
Gospel—Mark begins his Gospel account
with a strong emphasis on Jesus’s “powerful
deeds”. There are four movements to this
reading: the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law,
evening healings of all the sick and possessed in
Capernaum, Jesus at prayer, and Jesus’s depar-
ture from Capernaum. We hear from Jesus
himself the main “purpose” for His public minis-
try: to “preach” the Gospel to the “nearby vil-
lages” of the lower Galilee.
(Mark 1:29-39)

The Burning of the Palms
Palm leaves obtained from church on Palm
Sunday are blessed, and therefore are holy
objects. Once an object is blessed it is consid-
ered to be in the service of God and therefore
should be treated with respect.
We will have a Burning of the Palms service at
each parish:
St. Joseph Parish, Sunday, February
11th following the 10:30AM Mass
Queen of Angels Parish, Tuesday,
February 13th following the
6:00PM Mass
Please drop off your blessed palms in the re-
ceptacles at the back of the churches by end
of business, Friday, February 9th. The ashes
from these burned palms will be used at
Masses on Ash Wednesday.
PARISH COMMISSIONS REPORT
Each week, one of our newly formed commissions will submit a current activity/information report for the bulletin. We start with the Communication Commission.
The Communication Commission, in coopera-tion with the parish office administration, has been delegated to promote and strengthen the ongoing internal and external communications for our parishes.
Currently, we are installing bulletin boards in the St. Joseph parish hall for various groups in the parish. A long term goal is to help parish groups promote their activities and commit-tees. A future gathering is being planned to assist groups with current resources and obtain feedback on communication needs.
The next Communication Commission meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 19th at 10:30AM in the Queen of Angels Mary Room.

Middle School News
The middle school recently finished writing literary analysis essays. The students compared pieces of litera-ture they had read to criteria and wrote about how the literature did, or did not, measure up. They were required to include quotes from the pieces to support the claims they made.
In social studies, the sixth grade is learning about the Indus River Valley civilization of ancient India. They have learned about how the geography of the area fostered this civilization. As this area was also the birthplace of two of the five major world religions, they have also learned about the similarities and differences these religions share.
The middle school designed Valen-tines and Valentine bags. These bags will be distributed by Saint Vincent de Paul to the seniors at the Manor for Valentines Day.
