Fr. Michael writes
:- When St. Mark begins telling his story of the ministry of
Jesus, he shows us how Jesus is interested with the power of
the Spirit at his baptism and thus acts with authority. The
power that moves Jesus has its source in God; the authority
that Jesus displays, both in his actions and words, is the authority
of God himself. In today’s Gospel Jesus’ teaching
is seen in action. There is a confrontation between good and
evil and at the command of Jesus, the possessed man is freed.
The people are astonished and marvel at his authority. As we
listen to the Word of God each Sunday, how are we moved? Do
we find nourishment for our lives in the words of Christ?

for all Ministers of Holy Communion in the Coffee Lounge

Please put the date in your diary and make every effort

God our loving Father,
who made us your children
in baptism, pour out on us afresh the gifts of your
Holy Spirit.
Open our ears to
hear your Word,
open our hearts to
you in prayer,
that we may receive
with ever deeper faith the
Bread of Life.
Strengthened through
these gifts
make us signs of
your presence
to the world of today.
Father, hear our
humble prayer
through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen
