God also tells Moses that anyone who pretends to speak in his words, or speaks in the name of other gods shall die. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 Paul tells the Corinthians how an unmarried man or woman is able to devote themselves fully to God without concern for the needs of a spouse. Paul explains that God wants to help them promote good and devote themselves more fully to God. Gospel: Mark 1:21-28 As Jesus was teaching, a man with an unclean spirit came to the synagogue and asked if Jesus had come to destroy them. Jesus ordered the spirit out of the man, who shrieked violently as the spirit departed. The people were amazed at the authority he had over the spirit.

In response, the Diocese of Camden is organizing its second annual faithFULL Food Drive. On Sunday, March 1, every parish and school in the diocese will be asked to bring food donations to area food banks. For more information, contact your faith community’s food drive point person, and visit www.camdendiocese.org/faithfull. HOUSE OF CHARITY BISHOP’S ANNUAL APPEAL Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, I am earnestly asking you for your sacrificial offering to the 2015 House of Charity - Annual Bishop's Appeal. Our parish's assigned goal for this year is $55,660. If we reach the goal, 10% of the goal and 75% of the amount above the goal will be returned to the parish as we did last year. The funds received in the House of Charity will be used to support the ministries of Social & Community Services, Evangelization and Compassionate Outreach, Care and Education of Seminarians and Care of Elderly Priests, Needy Parishes, Youth Ministry and Campus Ministry. The above ministries cannot be sustained without your financial sacrifices. In giving to the House of Charity, you are manifesting the magnitude of your love for God and the least of Jesus' brothers and sisters, in this sense, you are truly blessed. As Jesus says: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven.'" Indeed any giving, sharing, or sacrificing is an act of unselfishness and thus "poor in spirit". On behalf of Our Lady Star of the Sea Parish, I am earnestly and gratefully asking you again for your support of the House of Charity. Whatever gift decision you make will be a profound sacrifice to God and His needy people. Your financial offering will be used and gone; but God the Father who sees in secret will repay you. Since: "...when I was hungry you gave me food, when I was thirsty you give me drink, when I was naked you clothed me, when I was a stranger you welcomed me, when I was in prison and you visited me. . ." Please make check payable to House of Charity -- Bishop's Annual Appeal. You may drop it in the collection at any weekend Mass, drop it at the Rectory or mail it to the Rectory. Again, I am profoundly grateful to you for your sacrifice and your willingness to support the 2015 House of Charity - Bishop's Annual Appeal. May God see your generous heart, and reward you a hundredfold in heaven. With profound gratitude and prayers, Father Joseph Pham “EUCHARISTIC ADORATION” Our Parish will hold Eucharistic Adoration and Benediction on the FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH, FROM 7:00 P.M. – 8:00 P.M.
