This prayer to St. Peregrine can give you hope! St. Peregrine, whom Holy Mother Church has declared Patron of those suffering from Cancer, I confidently turn to you for help in my present sickness. I beg your kind intercession. Ask God to relieve me of this sickness, if it be his Holy Will. Plead with the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of Sorrows, whom you loved so tenderly and in union with whom you have suffered the pains of Cancer, that she may help me with her powerful prayers and loving consolation. But if it should be God’s Holy Will that I bear this sickness, obtain for me courage and strength to accept these trails from the loving hand of God with patience and resignation, because he knows what is best for the salvation of my soul. St. Peregrine, be my friend and patron. Help me to imitate you in accepting suffering, and to unite myself with Jesus Crucified and the Mother of Sorrows, as you did. I offer my pains to God with all the love of my heart, for his glory and the salvation of souls, especially my own. Amen.

First Reading 1 SAMUEL 3:3-10, 19 A senior Hebrew priest and his young apprentice have an encounter with God. Even the senior takes a while to understand. The apprentice will become a leader of the nation. Responsorial Psalm P SALM 40:2, 4, 7-8, 8-9, 10 Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. Second Reading 1 CORINTHIANS 6:13-15, 17-20 Ancient Corinth was both a bawdy seaport and a sophisticated center of religious and philosophical debate. To new Christian converts in Corinth, Paul describes a new morality and new reasons for observing it. Gospel J OHN 1:35-42 The Evangelist John portrays the Baptist John turning over his disciples to Jesus. Jesus has extraordinary insight into the hearts of his new followers. Communion Antiphon P SALM 23:5 You have prepared a table before me, and how precious is the chalice that quenches my thirst. “God is the source of life; thanks to his breath, man has life. God’s breath sustains the entire journey of our life on earth.” — Pope Francis “The so-called right to abortion has pitted mothers against their children and women against men. It has sown violence and discord at the heart of the most intimate human relationships.” — Blessed Mother Teresa “The newborn child gives itself to its parents by the very fact of its coming into existence. Its existence is already a gift, the first gift of the Creator to the creature.” — Blessed John Paul II SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME NEXT WEEK’S READINGS: THIRD S UNDAY IN O RDINARY TIME 1 ST READING, J ONAH 3:1-5, 10; 2 ND READING, 1 CORINTHIANS 7:29-31; GOSPEL, M ARK 1:14-20 Stewardship Thought for the Day It is important to measure our generosity not by what we give, but by what we have left. ——————–————————-————————————————— Collection amount for the weekend of 1-11-15 Average weekly expenses Surplus/ (Shortfall) $ 2,989.00 $ 3,610.15 ($ 621.15) STRENGTHEN OUR FUTURE (SOF) January payment of $4,086.00 (interest $145.25, principal 3,940.75) leaves a balance of $79,057.78 January SOF 2nd collection was $4,716.00 January collection to date is $5,146.00 The second collection this week combines 5 appeals into one.

He thinks that it is Eli calling to him, but each time that Samuel responds to him he is told that Eli did not call him. The Lord calls to us too, and sometime like Samuel we do not understand what is happening. The response that Eli gives to Samuel, “Speak, for your servant is listening,” should be our response too. Sometimes our response to what we hear the Lord saying is to say why me or no or yes. We should realize that whatever the Lord calls us to do, whether it be a vocation to the priesthood or the religious life or some service in the Church or community is the path by which the Lord is giving us to save our souls and the souls of others that we meet along the way. In a discernment prayer of Thomas Merton we find a way to overcome our fears that often prevent us from responding to the call of the Lord. He wrote, “I hope that I will never do anything apart from that desire (the desire to please God). And I know that if I do this, You will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it.” Join us every Saturday for the recitaon of the Rosary at 4:30pm in the church before the mass.
