CHURCH HAPPENINGS AROUND CITRUS COUNTY
ST AUGUSTINE MARCH FOR LIFE Rosalie Matt and Donna Davis recently attended the St. Augustine March for Life – an annual event gathering pro-lifers from around the state and beyond to become inspired and equipped to defend life with more courage and conviction. Thousands upon thousands (numbers to be cited) gathered to hear the testimony of a victim of human trafficking speak before the 2-mile march through the historic district to the square, where the keynote speaker, Stephanie Gray, presented powerful examples of how to win the hearts and minds of those who disagree with us through attentive empathetic listening and sharing a new vision through stories of triumphant pro-life decisions. Above all, we are challenged to embrace the role of defenders of life, and not fall into the role of bystanders in this critical effort to protect the lives of the unborn human and lead those affected by abortion to healing and reconciliation.

STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS February 4, 2018 - 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time
“Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed…He told them, ‘Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.’” - Mark 1:35, 38
In today’s Gospel reading we see a perfect example of stewardship. Jesus gives His time to do all that God wishes - healing the sick and preaching. But before He begins, Jesus makes time to be alone with God in prayer. It is through prayer, spending time with God, that we find the strength to do what He wishes us to do. Be sure to find time every day to be with God.

TIRELESS DISCIPLESHIP
St. Scholastica Church • www.stscholastica.org Page 8
The stories we’ve been hearing these weeks come from the very first chapter of Mark, and they show us the public ministry of Jesus in its infancy. Today’s account shows some of the strain or adjustment of his new life of preaching the reign of God, healing the sick, and casting out demons. Notice that after sunset, when darkness ended the workday, people brought the sick and possessed to Jesus. The following day he rose before dawn to get away by himself to pray, but to no avail. Simon Peter and the others don’t just look for him, they pursue him, filled with the fervor that his ministry has incited. With the self-sacrificing example he gave until the end of his earthly life, he tells his followers that this is his whole purpose. Through Mark, he is also telling the early church, and he is telling us, that this is our purpose, our vocation: to be tireless in our pursuit of proclaiming the Good News, and in bringing the healing, reconciling touch of Christ to the world.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS We’re reading St. Paul’s letter to the Corinthians these days. What was Corinth like? It had a beautiful setting on an isthmus, about fifty miles from Athens. The location makes for very easy exchange by sea routes between Greece and Italy, a factor in its economic success even today. In Paul’s day it was a cosmopolitan and wealthy city with inhabitants drawn from all over the world, including a sizeable Jewish community. When Paul arrived about the year 50, the city was only about a century old, but already five times the size of Athens. Paul lived in Corinth for a year and a half, and a few years later came back for three months. The community of Christians there struggled against the influence of a very secular and self-indulgent society that was blind to the plight of the poor. Pagan attitudes afflicted the community, which had a way of breaking Paul’s heart; he
wrote to them sometimes “with many tears” (2 Corinthians 2:4).
Today, Corinth is a small industrial city. Its historic core has been destroyed by a series of earthquakes over the centuries, and what little remained was totally obliterated in a war with Turkey in the 1820s. There’s a core city with glamorous shops to catch the tourists, but it is mainly a cargo port, with piles of marble, tiles, and minerals everywhere, a huge oil refinery nearby, a busy canal, a modern fast rail line to Athens, and a meeting point of major highways. Today, the remains of the Temple of Apollo and the marketplace are more ruined than most such sites. The glory of the city Paul knew well has faded, but the relevance of his words shines through the centuries.
