a.m. he will begin a detailed demonstration and explanation before Mass actually begins. Everyone is
invited to attend this pre-Mass session. The 10:30
a.m. Mass will continue, also as a learning opportunity
for everyone, but not with as much detail as the 9:15
a.m. session leading up to Mass.
All parishioners are invited, along with their children to
experience this wonderful opportunity to truly understand
the “why” of our worship practices, and the importance
of the items and gestures used throughout the Mass. If
you can, join us for the 9:15 a.m. session in the church. It
will be an experience you will truly appreciate!

THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING!
RCIA
PRAYER FOR CATECHUMENS AND CANDIDATES
O God, we come to you
asking you to bless those in our community
who are asking for membership in our Church.
Look kindly on all catechumens and candidates
as they listen for your voice.
Open their hearts to your Spirit, and bring to fulfillment
the good work you have begun in them.
CATHOLIC WOMEN’S RETREAT
March 6-8, 2015
Barbara C. Harris Center, Greenfield, NH
What does EVERY woman deserve? YES! A little
time alone for peace, relaxation, fellowship and opportunity to grow more in love with God. Our Women’s
Retreat is the gift that ‘keeps on giving!’ Give the gift
of this retreat to yourself or to the woman in your life
that you love—moms, daughters, wives, girlfriends!
Join us for an amazing weekend as we look at the story
of the Prodigal Son. Discover the power of KNOWING a personal God who loves and cares for you. Our
team will share practical information about how being
honest with ourselves and with God can lead to a lifechanging transformation. We promise . . . You WILL
NOT be disappointed!
Join us for a weekend that will refresh your faith and
lead you to becoming a more joyful Catholic. If you
have never been on retreat, or if you have been on
many, we promise you that all will come away with
something powerful.
To register go online to http://vitanova.org/womensretreat. Our Spiritual Director for the weekend will be
Father Marc Montimy, pastor of St. Michael’s Church in
Exeter and former pastor of Ste. Marie in Manchester.
Surround them with people who care and
are willing to support them in their journey of faith.
We place these catechumens and candidates
in the shelter of your love as
they prepare to meet you in new ways, O God.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our parish has been blessed over the past many years,
including this year, to have catechumens and candidates
approach our Church with the desire to learn and to be fully
embraced by our Catholic faith.
Please pray for them as they discern this path for their lives.
And reflect on the fact that these people are being drawn to
our faith traditions. What a wonderful compliment!
The more I am filled with grace,
the more merit my prayers, virtuous actions, and sufferings
will have when I offer them to God.
The more grace I am infused with,
the higher the wattage on the lamp of my soul.
This is because grace is what makes us more like God,
more united to Him.

Respect Life
Committee
HEARTBEAT
WAY TO GO, YOUTH!
Once again hundreds of thousands of our brothers and
sisters turned out in Washington, DC on January 22 to
give a grand witness to the sanctity of ALL life, from
conception to natural death.
Carrying the banner for this year’s national March for
Life were members of the student body from Shanley
High School in Fargo, North Dakota. The ENTIRE student body AND faculty of Shanley High School—400
strong—drove all day and night on buses to get to
Washinton, DC.
Senior Julia Johnson said, “As a school, we are humbled
and honored to have been selected to hold the banner for
this year’s March for Life . . . Our cause in defending life
is a noble one . . . We are living in a modern day holocaust . . . that takes the lives of 3,000 babies each day,
more than one million babies each year.”
Johnson said, “It is our job to protect our brothers and
sisters in the womb and their right to life. It is our obligation to speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for value is not determined by size or age . . . We
march to stop an injustice that has taken the lives of a
third of our generation This pro-life movement was not
born out of hatred for our neighbor, but of love.” (info from
Lifesite News)
Bravo for this life-conscience generation! Teens of Gate of
Heaven, please consider coming to a Respect Life Committee
meeting. We want to hear what you have to say!
Our next meeting is at 7:00 p.m. on Wednesday, February
4, in the rectory at St. Matthew.
The lighter side of ECONOMIC
WEEKLY READINGS
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
4th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Deuteronomy 18: 15-20
Psalm 95: 1-2, 6-7, 7-9
1 Corinthians 7: 32-35
Mark 1: 21-28
Each evangelist chooses a different episode to introduce
Jesus’s public ministry. The calling of the two sets of fishermen brothers was a relatively private matter, so today’s
Gospel reading, the cure of the man with an unclean spirit,
is Mark’s first story of an action in Jesus’s public life. The
focus of the account is Jesus’s exercise of power over an
evil spirit; yet Mark’s interest seems to be in Jesus’s teaching authority. For the account begins with this: “The people
were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one
having authority and not as the scribes” (v. 22). And it ends
with the people saying, “What is this? A new teaching with
authority” (v.27). That raises the question: How is this
demonic deliverance a “teaching”? The only teaching of
Jesus that Mark has given so far in his Gospel is verse 15:
“This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at
hand.” That must be it. What Jesus teaches is not simply a
set of ideas; it is an announcement of God’s triumph over
evil—a theme Mark will develop throughout his account,
culminating dramatically at the Crucifixion. Jesus’s act of
demonic deliverance is an initial demonstration of that
power, to which the people respond, “What is this? A new
teaching with authority.”
Interestingly, Matthew uses a similar sentence about Jesus’s
teaching authority, but, having omitted the scene with the
demon, he places it at the end of the Sermon on the Mount
(Matthew 7: 28-29). For Mark, Jesus’s authoritative teaching is in his great acts of power through which the Kingdom
is breaking in the human world.
1.
How do you explain the difference between the authority
the people recognize in Jesus and the authority the
demons recognize?
2.
How does the first reading help you understand the authority of a prophet?
3.
What qualities in a person cause you to pay attention to
their words?
4.
If Jesus were to walk into your home or your school tomorrow, what issues do you think he would confront?
5.
How do hurtful attitudes spread?
THOUGHTS
Fifty-five percent of economists predicted an upturn this year.
Forty percent forecasted a decline. The other five percent
didn’t have a coin to flip . . . The economy is so bad that
they’re even putting anti-depressants in the Happy Meals at
McDonalds . . .The most serious weakness in the economic
system as I can see it is that I am not rich . . . When it comes to
changing the lives of millions of people, nothing beats the government’s economic program. But the plague came pretty close.
