He goes out to meet them where they are, and they go to meet him where they can find him. It’s a significant detail. And this fact remains: what was true in Capernaum two thousand years ago is still true around the world today. STUDYING GOD’S WORD Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings: Job 7:1-4, 6-7 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23 Mark 1:29-39 Today’s Gospel begins with just four brief words: “On leaving the synagogue. . .” It sounds so simple. It’s almost a passing reference. You could hear those words go by and not give them a second thought. But with those four brief words, St. Mark does something radical and unexpected. He points the way to another kind of living: the Christian way. The way of Christ. And it begins when Christ leaves the synagogue. The synagogue, of course, was one of the most familiar and popular gathering places in the time of Christ. It was the great center of Jewish teaching. But another kind of teaching, another lesson, is about to be imparted. And it happens where you may not expect – not in the synagogue, but a short walk away from it, in Peter’s house. That is where Christ cures Peter’s mother-in-law. And then others are brought to Jesus. Jesus himself eventually has to go away, to a quiet place, to pray. But Peter finds him and says “Everyone is looking for you.” And Jesus replies that he can’t rest. He can’t stay put. He needs to get up and go into others towns and villages. He explains it beautifully: “For this purpose have I come.” What strikes me about this is that Christ’s work begins in a house of worship. It starts in a place of sacred prayer and ritual and meaning. And he clearly exercises his ministry there. But that isn’t where it ends. It continues, and is carried out and made real, in the world. His great purpose is fulfilled outside the synagogue walls, in places where the lepers and the lame, the The great work of Christianity happens in homes, on street corners, in the market place. It unfolds in breadlines and soup kitchens, in shelters and classrooms. It’s made manifest around the dining room table and in offices, stores, and subway cars. What we do here, within these four walls of the church, of course, in invaluable and supremely important. Here, we gather to become a community, to worship, to receive the Eucharist, and to hear the Gospel message proclaimed. This is where we are fed and nourished and given the gift of grace to live as Christians in the world. But this is only the beginning. Out there, out those doors, is where it lives, grows, and spreads. The Gospel doesn’t do any of us any good if we simply treat it as a pretty story bound in leather, perched on the altar, and proclaimed from the pulpit. It’s meaningless if we leave it behind. It needs to be carried from here, in our hearts and in our lives. We need to take it into the world, the way that Jesus did. There are still those who are sick and who are possessed who need to be healed. They may be sick with fear. Or possessed by loneliness. They may carry a leprosy that eats away at their self-worth. They may be shunned or ignored. They are waiting for us. We can be Christ to them. We can help fulfill his purpose in the world. Or, as someone once said: “The only edition of the Gospels most people are likely to see. . .is you.” Significantly, the synagogue is mentioned twice: at the beginning of this Gospel passage and at the end. We begin with Christ leaving the synagogue. But we conclude with him going into it, in other towns and villages, as he continues his work. Years ago, a colleague at work gave me a beautiful picture frame as a Christmas gift, with a note: “What matters in life,” she said, “is how you frame it.” I think Mark is telling us the same thing in this Gospel. continued on page 3 FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME PAGE 3 FEBRUARY 8, 2015 continued from page 2 A life of prayer and worship gives guidance and direction to Christ’s work, to the Gospel message. It’s the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. And so it should be for each of us. It’s the start and the finish. But what will we do in the middle? At the end of this Mass, you’ll hear some familiar words: “Go in peace, glorifying the Lord with your life.” We hear it so often – every week – that it may not register. And let’s be honest: by that point in the Mass, a lot of people are already out in the parking lot. But this time, stay and listen. And ask yourself: What does that really mean? How will I love and serve the Lord? How will I put those words into practice? How can I take what I hear and receive here and carry it out those doors . . . and into the world? That was Christ’s challenge, and – this day and every day – it is also ours. Because, whether we realize it or not, that remains our great calling as Christians. For that purpose have we come.

THE BIG THREE: THE HISTORY OF MANISTEE’S CATHOLIC CHURCHES Presented by Mark Fedder Sunday, February 15 ~ 2:00 - 4:00 pm St. Joseph Parish Center Lounge All women of the CCM are invited to attend the February L.I.F.E. gathering. Join us for a special look back at the history of Guardian Angels Church, St. Joseph Church and St. Mary of Mount Carmel Shrine. These three places of worship have made a huge impact on our lives and on our community. Our presenter, historian Mark Fedder, will give us insight into the ethnic roots, architecture, art and history of these beloved churches. Sanctuary Lamp We are asking you to help fill in some of the details, too, by sharing photos, memorabilia and stories of your experiences at these churches. Do you have photos of the baptism, reception of sacraments, or wedding of yourself or a family member? If you, or a family member, attended one of the schools, do you have class pictures or an early yearbook? Maybe you have a photo, old bulletin, or parish membership booklet showing some of the pastors, priests or nuns who so faithfully served our community. Can you tell us an interesting, touching, or funny story about an experience you have had? Or perhaps you, or a family member, served the church in some capacity. We would love to hear your story! Please dig into your family archives and heirlooms and see what you can find to share.

Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes - healing the sick and preaching. Yet, Jesus also makes time to be alone in prayer. It is through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to do what God wishes us to do. Be sure to find time every day to be with God.
