SAINT ANNE’S CATHOLIC CHURCH BRISTOL, VIRGINIA February 12, 2017 Remember St. Anne’s in your Will and Trusts
Most of us recall a time when we did only what was
absolutely necessary to get by. When it comes to our
Christian life, however, Jesus calls us to a higher standard.
Perhaps our prayer can be for the grace and the courage to
go beyond the letter of the law in order to live according to
a higher law, the law of love.
Scripture Readings for this Week (Feb. 13-18)
Monday: Genesis 4:1-15, 25; Mark 8:11-13
Tuesday: Gn. 6:5-8; 7:1-5, 10; Mark 8:14-21
Wednesday: Gn. 8:6-13, 20-22; Mark 8:22-26
Thursday: Genesis 9:1-13; Mark 8:27-33
Friday: Genesis 11:1-9; Mark 8:34—9:1

Scripture for next Sunday (7th Sunday/Ordinary)
Leviticus 19:1-2, 17-18
Love your neighbor as yourself.
1 Corinthians 3:16-23
“God catches the wise in their own ruses.”
Matthew 5:38-48
Love your enemies.
Notice in next Sunday’s readings that even though Jesus
quotes common sayings about revenge and hatred for one’s
enemies, inviting his disciples to live contrary to those
aphorisms, the first reading says exactly the same as Jesus.
“You shall not bear hatred for your brother or sister in
your heart.” What a joy to know that our God of love has
always invited us to show love for one another, and to
overcome our fear and hatred!
