CONTRIBUTIONS 2018
Please consider supporting our Bread of Life Ministry by providing personal care items, infant items, cleaning products,
and non-perishable food items for Denton County’s Friends of the Family. ADDITIONALLY, our friends at The Shepherd’s Hand Pantry, an important distribution point for Bread of Life, providing approximately 1300 meals monthly, are in need of sealable food baggies, primarily quart and gallon size. Please consider picking up an extra box or two the next time you go shopping. Place your donations in the Bread of Life drop box in the Narthex. Thank you for your help and continued support of our friends in need. Together we can help “Feed the Hungry”!
If you are in need of Safe Environment or need to renew, please go to https://fwdioc.org/training-sessions, to see all available Sessions. Safe Environment Sessions here at St. Mark will be: Saturday, February 2 from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, in RE 107.
Come join with our Marianist family for our monthly meeting on Thursday, February 7 at St. Mark RE Building Room 107. Meeting will start at 1:00 pm and conclude around 3:00
pm. The Marianist Affiliates’ mission is to recognize that Mary serves as an example on how to live. Through her faith, Mary conceived and brought Jesus to everyone who would believe. By living out our faith, we also bring Christ to the world anew. For more information, please contact Andy Gilliard at 940-323-8693.
Come join the St. Mark 55+ Group on Friday, February 1 at 6:30 pm in the Parish Hall (NE

dish, side dish, salad, fruit or dessert to share for dinner. Beverages will be provided unless you want something special. Be sure to bring your own serving utensils. 55+ is a great way to meet new people and visit with old friends. Plan to stay to play dominoes, cards, or bring your favorite board game.

St. Mark Prayer Shawl Ministry will meet on Monday, January 28, at 7:00 pm in the RE Building. This will be our meeting for "The Blessing of the Hands."

SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME January 19-20, 2019
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
Why do we have a liturgical season called ordinary time? Can you explain?
Ordinary time is the longest season of the liturgical year. It begins the Monday after January 6, the Epiphany, and goes until the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. That period can last anywhere from five to eight weeks, depending on when Easter is celebrated. Ordinary time picks up again the Monday after Pentecost Sunday and lasts from twenty-three to twenty-seven weeks, until the end of the liturgical year, the Saturday before Advent begins.
Why the name ordinary? "Ordinary" is not in contrast to "extraordinary" or "special" but rather stresses the Latin language notion of "ordinal" or numbered Sundays. The Latin title for the season, "tempus ordinarium," conveys the sense that this time of the year is measured or numbered time. Measured time can allude simply to the numbered Sundays, or the notion that these Sundays are a "measured" time to deepen and immerse ourselves completely in the realities of Jesus' incarnation, ministry, passion, death, and resurrection.
Ordinary time offers us the measured opportunity to connect the ordinary lived experiences of our lives with those of Jesus, who modeled for us how to live a truly human existence. As we experience the season of ordinary time, let us immerse ourselves in the extraordinary task of deepening our relationship with Christ in the ordinary events of life.
