Reflections on the Sunday Scripture

February 3, 2019

Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Readings:

Jeremiah 1:4-5, 17-19 1 Corinthians 12:31-13:13

Luke: 4:21-30

Gospel

Jesus began speaking in the synagogue, saying: “Today this Scripture passage is fulfilled in your hearing.” And all spoke highly of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his mouth. They also asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” He said to them, “Surely you will quote me this proverb, ‘Physician, cure yourself,’ and say, ‘Do here in your native place the things that we heard were done in Capernaum.’” And he said, “Amen, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own native place. Indeed, I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah when the sky was closed for three and a half years and a severe famine spread over the entire land. It was to none of these that Elijah was sent, but only to a widow in Zarephath in the land of Sidon. Again, there were many lepers in Israel during the time of Elisha the prophet; yet not one of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian.” When the people in the synagogue heard this, they were all filled with fury. They rose up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town had been built, to hurl him down headlong. But Jesus passed through the midst of them and went away.

1. Have you ever been praised and looked up to, and then all of a sudden were rejected and no one believed in you? How did you feel?

2. The people who knew Jesus within His hometown became shocked at the words He spoke to them. At first they were amazed and asked, “Isn’t this the son of Joseph?” Why the change in their hearts? Did Jesus arouse them in a way to show them that something new was happening and they did not want the change?

(continued)

3. Do you feel it is better to preach to those who do not know you or to the ones who do know you? Why?

4. At the end of the Gospel, Jesus passes through the midst of the angry crowd and goes away. Are there any conflicts in your life where you are being called to walk away?

A couple thoughts for today:

Prayer is not a “spare wheel” that

you pull out when in trouble, but

it is a “steering wheel” that directs

your right path throughout the journey.

and

Why is a car’s WINDSHIELD so large

and the rearview mirror so small?

Because our PAST is not as

important as our FUTURE.

So, look ahead

and move on.

bulletin on the first weekend of the month following the month

in which the Masses were offered.

Also, the St. Mark Mass Society offers you the opportunity to offer Masses

for an entire year for yourself or a loved one. Those enrolled in the Mass Society are prayed for at the

8:00 AM Mass on the First Saturday of each month for 12 months.

Offering a Mass for someone is one of the best gifts you can give them, whether to celebrate a birthday or anniversary or to offer healing to

someone sick. Cards are $10, and there are several different styles from which you can choose.

Please plan on joining us for the Dedication Ceremony

of our new

“Our Lady of Lourdes Prayer Garden and Grotto” on Sunday, February 10th,

Bishop John Noonan will celebrate the 10:00 AM Mass and then officially dedicate

our new Prayer Garden immediately following the Mass. There will be a reception in the Social Hall after the

ceremony with the Bishop in attendance.

We hope you will come and be a part of this memorable event which will fulfill a

dream that has been years in the making.

*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***

Due to the special Mass by the Bishop, and the Dedication Ceremony and Reception on Sunday, February 10th, it has been decided that

THERE WILL BE NO 12 NOON MASS ON THAT DAY.

We would like all of our parishioners to partake in the Dedication Ceremony and Reception.

Cancelling the Mass will help reduce the amount of traffic coming and going thru the parking lot.

The history behind “Our Lady of Lourdes Prayer Garden” here at St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church.

By: Deacon John Rumplasch — November 2018

In October of 2009, Deacon Bob Esposito and his wife, Ann, along with Michele and Deacon John Rumplasch, traveled on a pilgrimage to Lourdes and Nevers (St. Gildard Convent), France, and to Rome, Italy, to celebrate the Ordination of Deacon John that took place on June 13, 2009, and to pray for the Grace of God. Deacon Bob Esposito always had a deep devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes and to St. Bernadette, and Deacon John (a convert) wanted to experience a deeper devotion to the Blessed Mother. While in Lourdes, and after serving as deacons during two Masses at the grotto, both Deacons Bob and John together were inspired to plan a prayer garden with a grotto to be built at the parish of St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church. Upon returning home, the project was immediately introduced to Fr. Simon Shaner, who was the Pastor at the time. The prayer garden was placed on hold due to the building of the new church. After the new church was built in 2010, once again the project of the prayer garden was presented to our new Pastor, Fr. Jerzy (George) Maj, who advised that the prayer garden had to be placed on hold because of paying off the church mortgage and expenses at that time. Then in 2012, the prayer garden and an enrichment center were introduced to Fr. Sebastian Hanks, our new Pastor, who agreed that both should be built. But this time, the prayer garden had to again be placed on hold because there was a need for a rectory so that the priests could be on property. After the rectory was built, again a request for the prayer garden was made; but there was an obvious need for the building of the enrichment center for Religious Education and Ministry meeting rooms and a place for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Yet again, the prayer garden was placed on hold. Since 2009 to this date, prayers have been offered by many for the building of the “Our Lady of Lourdes Prayer Garden,” and now they have been answered. We have our church, our rectory, our enrichment center, and we are now ready to build our prayer garden. After much planning and many meetings, along with conversations with Bishop John Noonan and others at the Chancery, and after the arrival of our newest and current Pastor, Fr. Mariusz Dymek, in September, the prayer garden was finally and completely approved; and on November 11, after the 10:00 AM Mass, Fr. Mariusz Dymek conducted a groundbreaking ceremony that took place where the grotto is to be built. We now look forward to the completion of the prayer garden with the grotto of “Our Lady of Lourdes,” and toward the dedication of the prayer garden on February 10, 2019, honoring the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. Deacon Bob Esposito and I would like to thank ALL of you who have prayed for and contributed to the building of our prayer garden.

Automatic Bank Payments for Offertory Contributions

The office quite often receives inquiries from parishioners regarding on-line donations. While we do not offer “e-giving or on-line donations,” you may consider another option. You can save yourself time and effort by setting up automatic payments with your financial institution, where they will mail a check for your offertory contributions directly to St. Mark the Evangelist.

The process is as follows: You need to be enrolled for on-line banking with your financial institution, which is free of charge; organize authorization with your financial institution to make weekly or monthly payments to St. Mark the Evangelist; provide your financial institution with your 4-digit Parishioner ID Number (the same number which is printed on your offertory envelopes), if you are unsure of your ID number, please contact the parish office; in the memo section of the bank check, please identify where the money is going i.e. Weekly Offertory, St. Vincent de Paul, special collections, etc.

Your bank will send your contribution directly to St. Mark the Evangelist for posting in our ledger. There is no charge for this service. Please note that this can only be done from your savings or checking account, not your credit card. Most banks offer this service. You will need to contact your financial institution if you are interested in setting up this payment method. Please let our office know if you no longer require bi-monthly sets of offertory envelopes.

If you are the parent of a young adult with special needs, you may want to look into this

group located right here in the Villages.

This group started only three years ago with 12 members. It now has over 160 members.

We hold monthly meetings every third Thursday of the month at the Lake Miona Recreation Center

in the Villages. We bring in guest speakers covering all sorts of important topics.

We have had representatives from ADP, FCC, several attorneys (Guardianship, Trust, Wills, and Special Needs Trust) and quite a number

of residential facilities such as New Horizons, Key, Noah’s Landings and a few others. We also have had

speakers talk to us about ABLE UNITED.

Our goal is to help educate and provide support to families with disabled children.

Meetings are open to anyone who has a special needs young adult. For more information, please contact John Langan, Founder and Special

Olympics Coach, at 352-633-1136.
