Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

First Reading: Job 7:1-4, 6-7 The Book of Job is a long parable which grapples with why bad things happen to good people. This question was especially crucial to people of that time because they didn’t believe in life after death, and therefore one received reward or punishment in this life. Job has lost his children, his property and his health, and he lives at the city dump. In this passage, he gives an understandably pessimistic evaluation of life.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23 Paul’s enemies frequently criticized him for the least little thing. At a time when most teachers received compensation from those they instructed, Paul was criticized because he refused financial support from the community. Because of this, they discredited him as not being a legitimate apostle. Today we hear his response.

BREAKING OPEN THE WORD

Throughout His ministry in Israel, Jesus tirelessly healed spiritual and physical infirmities. Knowing His goodness and desire to make us whole, let us bring our own brokenness before the Lord to ask for His healing and mercy. . . . .

Mark 1:29-39 We see in today’s gospel reading that the one to who Jesus is first accountable is not those He heals and not Simon or His companions. Jesus’s life is above all directed to God who is acting in Him and through Him, so early the next morning He seeks a place where He can be alone with God in prayer. Simon and some of his companions are described not as Jesus’s “followers,” but as those who “pursue” Jesus. There is a note of accusation and misunderstanding in Simon’s words: “Everyone is looking for you” (including us!). There is no appreciation of Jesus’s own need to search for His God in prayer. What Jesus has heard in His prayer is the call to proclaim the reigning presence of God in other towns, to move on from the enthusiastic reception of yesterday, because that is why He came. How often are we tempted to stay with the “yesterdays” of success and acclamation and hesitate to go forward to the largely unknown “tomorrows” to which God is calling us? And how important is prayer in our discernment of God’s call?

Prayer: Divine Presence, so many of us yearn and ache for your presence; everyone is looking for you. Grant to us the mindfulness not so much to seek you but to become more and more aware of your holy presence already here: above, below, around, and within. Amen.

Let's Live Lent! Please join in a unique way to learn, reflect, and act in this season of Lent through a new video series titled “Let’s Live Lent”. This series begins Feb. 11th with Ash Wednesday, available to view Feb. 11-17. Followed by Fasting, available Feb.15-17. Each Thursday thereafter, a new 3-5 minute video will be available. The themes of the videos are: Ash Wednesday – February 11-17 Fasting – February 15-17 Prayer – February 18-21 Almsgiving – February 25-28 “I am the Living Water” – March 3-7 “I am the Light” – March 11-14 “I am Eternal Life” – March 18-21 Triduum – March 25-28 As a faith community, we too, can accompany our RCIA awaiting full reception into the Catholic church as they (and we) embrace these important Gospel experiences and elements that will Let us Live Lent!

Lenten Reflection Guide: This year we have selected a downloadable Lenten reflection guide: Words for the Weary - Embracing the Lenten Season after a Challenging Pandemic Year, by Ann Naffziger. Ann Naffziger draws from her experience as a mother, wife, and spiritual director in these honest reflections on a year of pandemic

challenges and how they can guide us in our discipleship journey. She guides us in embracing the difficulties, frustrations, and sorrows of this time, but also the graces that continue to break through. To download your copy, go to http://products.pastoral.center/pc/pc109e/1/download-tn3l/index.html This link will also be available on our website and as part of the Saturday Flocknote.

Ash Wednesday, February 17, 2021 Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. With a simple cross on the forehead, we are recognizing that we are far from perfect, but that God loves and redeems us—not despite our brokenness, but in the midst of it. Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and abstinence, but not a holy day of obligation. Ash Distribution Ashes will be pre-packaged in a mini zip-top bag. They will include a label providing instructions on what/how to minister ashes. Ashes can be picked up through one of the following ways: 1. Sunday, Feb. 14th at the 11:00 AM outdoor Mass, 2. Monday, Feb. 15th – Wednesday, Feb.17th from 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM in the vestibule, or 3. Wednesday, Feb. 17th at the 11:00 AM outdoor Mass Ash Wednesday Mass Opportunities 9:00 AM live-streamed Prayer Service 12:00 NOON outdoor Mass – if you received a packet of ashes earlier in the week, please bring them to the outdoor Mass to use at the appropriate time.

Where do the Ash Wednesday ashes come from? Normally, the ashes used on Ash Wednes-day are made from the burning of palms blessed in the previous year's Palm Sunday celebration. Although the SSPP Palm Sunday celebration was virtual last year,

palms were purchased. It is those palms that will be burned in a special video presentation as part of the Let’s Live Lent series.

This Year Will Be Different… In place of reflection booklets, an online link

will be provided Stations of the Cross on hold until next year Communal Reconciliation Service on hold until next year New Lenten video series will be offered RCIA ceremonies will be held at outdoor Masses

More information to come!

. ..allow the disruption to some familiar practices infuse grace in a whole new way as we make this Lenten journey together.
