May they experience God s healing love and comfort. Prayers/Penitential Rite February 4-5th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Joan DeMerchant Introduction To those who suffer, words (and actions flowing from them) really do matter. In today s readings, God hears suffering and heals the brokenhearted. That is what Jesus was about in his ministry. That is what the disciples and all his followers have always been about. That is what we, too, are called to be doing. Hearing, preaching and living the Gospel are ultimately about life, love and healing. There are as many ways to do this as there are committed Christians. Prayer of the Faithful Let us pray now for all who suffer in our Community and throughout the world. Minister For the church: that it may be faithful to preaching the Gospel and healing the brokenhearted at all times and in all places... we pray, For those whose suffering goes beyond words and is caused by indifference, injustice or violence... we pray, For those who have misused or misinterpreted the Gospel for personal or political gain; and for the courage to challenge them... we pray, For those who preach the Gospel and attend to those in need, especially in difficult and challenging situations... we pray, For all humanitarian organizations and programs that serve suffering people in our neighborhoods and around the globe... we pray, For all who touch the suffering through kindness, companionship, generosity or any simple acts of consolation in this community and beyond... we pray, Presider Loving God: you have spoken to us in mercy and love throughout the ages, and you sent your only Son as love incarnate. Empower us to carry your healing message forward through our words and actions. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the divine Healer. Amen Our parish offers Online Giving, a web based electronic contribution application. Check us out at...

5 Jesus foi aonde ela estava, segurou sua mão e ajudou-a a se levantar. V Dom TC (Ano B): Jó 7, ; Salmo 147(146); 1Coríntios 9, ; Marcos 1,29-39 No evangelho, Jesus, acompanhado de Tiago e João, chega à casa de Simão e André. Ao ser informado que a sogra de Simão estava enferma, ele se aproximou, segurou sua mão e ajudou-a levantar-se (v.31). A cura dessa mulher é como um convite para seguir o Mestre e colocar-se a serviço do Reino. Jesus proclama a Boa Nova da salvação, consolando, curando, libertando as pessoas de todos os males e aflições. Mesmo os que se opõe ao seu plano de amor, O reconhecem como o Enviado de Deus, cuja força do Espírito se manifesta nas palavras e gestos misericordiosos. Os discípulos, porém, ainda não reconhecem o significado pleno da atuação de Jesus. A fé em Cristo, o Filho de Deus será professada plenamente depois de sua morte e ressurreição. Jesus se manifesta como o Messias sofredor, até a entrega total na cruz. A 1ª leitura mostra que Jó, em meio às provações, não encontra consolo nos amigos (cf. 2,11), pois eles consideram o sofrimento como castigo de Deus. Jó procura entender o sentido da vida e do sofrimento e clama ao Deus da aliança: Lembra-te que minha vida é um sopro. A resposta ao mistério do sofrimento está em Cristo, que carregou as dores da humanidade por amor até o fim. O salmo ensina a confiar plenamente em Deus, que conforta e cura os corações esmagados pela dor. Paulo, na 2ª leitura, proclama a salvação de Deus com gratuidade: Ai de mim, se eu não anunciar o evangelho. Por causa da Boa Notícia de Cristo, ele se torna livre para servir a todos. Jesus revela a presença amorosa de Deus, carregando nossas dores e sofrimentos, ensinando-nos a continuar a construção de um mundo novo. Que o exemplo de Paulo nos ensine a viver em Cristo e assumir a missão com ardor apostólico. Oração Velai, ó Deus, sobre a vossa família, com incansa vel amor e, como só confiamos na vossa grac a, guardai-nos sob a vossa protec a o. Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém.
