ST. EDWARD PARISH SELECTED TO
PARTICIPATE IN NATIONAL STUDY!
St. Edward Parish has been selected to participate in a
national study of vibrant parishes conducted by the
Catholic Leadership Institute!
Please help us participate by completing a 10-15 minute
survey online. The survey will be emailed to you by
[email protected]. The
survey will only be available from February 17 to March
10 and will ask you to reflect on your own spiritual
growth and enable you to provide feedback on what
efforts the parish is doing to help you grow. All
responses will be confidential and the parish will only
receive information about the community as whole.
We are trying to get the highest response rate possible.
This information will be invaluable to Fr. Belisle and our
Pastoral Plan Committee as we plan ahead and try to be
the best disciples we can be. We will receive the results
in May/June at which time, we will share what we have
learned with the entire parish.
If we don’t have an email address for you, please send an
email to <[email protected]> with your name so we
can add you to the list.
If you don’t use email - there will be opportunities to
complete the survey after daily and Sunday Mass and you
can obtain a paper copy by contacting Susan at (360) 4266134.

PRAYER PARTNERS
We are inviting St. Edward’s
parish to come together in a
special project. Names and
pictures of youth who are in
preparation of 1st Reconciliation/1st Eucharist and the
Catechumenate program will be
displayed in the narthex of the
church. We are asking parishioners to take a name and
become a prayer partner for that youth. We have 59
students receiving the sacraments this year and your
prayers are needed! Thank you!
SICK LIST
Do you know of an aged or ailing person who would like to
receive communion at home? We will be leaving people on the
sick list for approximately three weeks, then removing them. If
you have someone you would like back on the list please feel
free to contact the office.

ANSWER TO THE IQ QUESTION
False. Whenever a sick person recovers but falls gravely
ill again or if a person who has been anointed worsens
dramatically, an anointing can be repeated (CCC#1520).

Eaton, Esteven Carrillo, Florinda Cardonas, Betty

FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
VEA SEÑOR ALREDEDOR DE SU ALTAR
SEGUNDA LECTURA
LISTA DE ORACIONES
Por el Alma del Señor: Rosendo Pimentel-Olguin
FEBRUARY 7-8, 2015
1 Corintios 9, 16-19. 22-23
Lectura de la primera carta del apóstol san Pablo a los corintios
Hermanos:
No tengo por qué presumir de predicar el Evangelio,
puesto que ésa es mi obligación. ¡Ay de mí, si no anuncio
el Evangelio! Si yo lo hiciera por propia iniciativa,
merecería recompensa; pero si no, es que se me ha
confiado una misión. Entonces, ¿en qué consiste mi
recompensa? Consiste en predicar el Evangelio
gratis, renunciando al derecho que tengo a vivir de la
predicación.
PRIMERA LECTURA
Job 7, 1-4. 6-7
Lectura del libro de Job
En aquel día, Job tomó la palabra y dijo:
“La vida del hombre en la tierra es vida de soldado
y sus días, como días de un jornalero.
Como el esclavo suspira en vano por la sombra
y el jornalero se queda aguardando su salario,
así me han tocado en suerte meses de infortunio
y se me han asignado noches de dolor.
Al acostarme, pienso: ‘¿Cuándo será de día?’
La noche se alarga
y me canso de dar vueltas hasta que amanece.
Aunque no estoy sujeto a nadie, me he convertido en
esclavo de todos, para ganarlos a todos. Con los débiles
me hice débil, para ganar a los débiles. Me he hecho todo
a todos, a fin de ganarlos a todos. Todo lo hago por el
Evangelio, para participar yo también de sus bienes.
Palabra de Dios.
Mis días corren más aprisa que una lanzadera
y se consumen sin esperanza.
Recuerda, Señor, que mi vida es un soplo.
Mis ojos no volverán a ver la dicha”.
Palabra de Dios.
EVANGELIO
Marcos 1, 29-39
Lectura del santo Evangelio según san Marcos
En aquel tiempo, al salir Jesús de la sinagoga,
fue con Santiago y Juan a casa de Simón y Andrés.
La suegra de Simón estaba en cama, con fiebre,
y enseguida le avisaron a Jesús. Él se le acercó, y
tomándola de la mano, la levantó. En ese momento se le
quitó la fiebre y se puso a servirles.
SALMO RESPONSORIAL
Salmo 146, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6
R. Alaben al Señor que sana los corazones quebrantados.
Alaben al Señor, que la música es buena;
nuestro Dios merece una alabanza armoniosa.
El Señor reconstruye Jerusalén,
reúne a los deportados de Israel.
R. Alaben al Señor que sana los corazones quebrantados.
Él sana los corazones destrozados,
venda sus heridas;
cuenta el número de las estrellas,
a cada una la llama por su nombre.
R. Alaben al Señor que sana los corazones quebrantados.
Nuestro Señor es grande y poderoso,
su sabiduría no tiene medida.
El Señor sostiene a los humildes,
humilla hasta el polvo a los malvados.
Al atardecer, cuando el sol se ponía, le llevaron a todos los
enfermos y poseídos del demonio, y todo el pueblo se
apiñó junto a la puerta. Curó a muchos enfermos de
diversos males y expulsó a muchos demonios, pero no dejó
que los demonios hablaran, porque sabían quién era él.
De madrugada, cuando todavía estaba muy oscuro, Jesús
se levantó, salió y se fue a un lugar solitario, donde se
puso a orar. Simón y sus compañeros lo fueron a buscar,
y al encontrarlo, le dijeron: “Todos te andan buscando”.
Él les dijo: “Vamos a los pueblos cercanos para predicar
también allá el Evangelio, pues para eso he venido”.
Y recorrió toda Galilea, predicando en las sinagogas y
expulsando a los demonios.
Palabra del Señor.

WORLD DAY OF THE SICK
A Creed of the Sick
1. I believe that neither chance nor fate play a part in sending me
crosses and sorrows; it is the Providence of God and His fatherly
care.
2. I believe that to those who love God, all things work together for
the good; for me this also means that I am now sick.
3. I believe that my, life on earth is only a momentary stopping off place on the great trip to eternity.
4. I believe that God never sends pain merely to provoke, plague or
irritate me.
5. I believe that my sickness is a signal from God for me to stop
hurrying through life. He tells me to stop, learn self-control and
patience, and to concentrate on thinking of eternity.
6. I believe that all crabbing, murmuring and rationalizing on God's
reason for sending me this sickness are sinful and an injustice to
my heavenly Father.
7. I believe that through sickness I can atone for my past sins and
for the sins of others.
8. I believe that through sickness God wants to make me a richer,
better and more perfect character.
9. I believe that by my impatience I am a stumbling block to the
healthy; by my patience I am teaching them how to accept God's
will.
10. I believe that my sickness is a special letter from God to me in
which He says: "I love you, and that is why I want you to think
about your home in heaven.

Near Death Experiences are portals of grace that transform
lives. Richard Rohr, St. Paul, Elizabeth Kubler Ross, hospice
workers and medical experts have explored this topic in depth.
This workshop offers time of reflection, questions, discussion
and shared "portal moments." We invite open minds and open
hearts.
Come on a Rachel’s Vineyard Retreat™ and receive
God’s grace and forgiveness.
