Third Sunday in Ordinary Time
The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel.- Mark 1:15
CHANGE OUR LIVES
St. Thomas Aquinas
January 28
In today's first reading, Jonah, sent by God to warn the people, storms through Nineveh, frightening the citizens out of their wits. It works! They repent before Jonah
makes his way through a third of the city, and God sees "by their actions" how they
have turned from evil.
Then we hear Paul telling the Corinthians that "the world in its present form is passing away." He calls for a change of heart. He stops short of telling them to set
aside their everyday lives, but still he urges them-rather mysteriously-to live as
though they aren't doing the things they're doing.
Finally, Jesus stands on the shore and cries, "The kingdom of God is at hand!" The
apostles-to-be abandon their nets and follow him. Thus in all the readings we hear
an invitation to a radical and immediate change in our lives.

THINK YOU ARE HAVING A STROKE? CALL 9-1-1 IMMEDIATELY!
F.A.S.T. is an easy way to remember the sudden signs of stroke. When you can
spot the signs, you’ll know that you need to call 9-1-1 for help right away.
F.A.S.T is:
F.—Face Drooping—Does one side of the face droop or is it numb? Ask the person to smile. Is the persons smile uneven?
A.—Arm Weakness—Is one are weak or numb? Ask the person to raise both
arms. Does one arm drift downward?
S.—Speech Difficulty—Is speech slurred? Is the person unable to speak or hard
to understand? Ask the person to repeat a simple statement, like, “The sky is
blue”. Is the sentence repeated correctly?
T.—Time to call 9-1-1—If somene shows ANY of these symptoms, even if the
symptoms go away, call 9-1-1 and get the person to the hospital IMMEDIATELY!
Check the time so you’ll know when the first symptoms appeared.
Other symptoms include: sudden confusion or trouble understanding, sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes, sudden trouble walking, dizziness,
loss of balance or coordination, and sudden severe headache with no
known cause. Immediate medical treatment may minimize the long
term effects of a stroke and prevent death.

40 DAYS FOR LIFE
“We have no government armed
with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled from
morality and true
religion. Our Constitution was
made only for moral & religious
people. It is wholly inadequate to the government
of any
other.” (John Adams). You and I
have been put here at this moment in American
history “for such a time as this” to stand for God.
His laws, and his most vulnerable—the pre-born
children.
Come join FACE Life in the 40 Days for
Life campaign from
February 18th to March 29th.
Pray with us in front of the abortion center for
1-2 hours each week of Lent.
Mon.-Sat.: 7am-6pm and Sunday 3pm-5pm
