LEGACY UPDATE
Great news!
On January 14, 2015, we mailed the remaining
$75,000 from our 2014 Legacy 1 program to the
Archdiocese to be applied to our mortgage princi-
pal!
That brings our balance to $260,000!
To date, Legacy 2 commitments total $126,000.
It’s not too late to still make your commitment to
help us pay off our debt.
With just a little more support we can accelerate the
elimination of our mortgage ASAP!
If you received a notice to engrave a paver, please
return your lettering choice to the rectory as soon as
possible to insure that your paver will be installed
in the spring.
The cost of engraving is $45 per paver, which is
included in each $500 donation.

CAFÉ
Lenten Bible Study Begins Feb. 17
CAFÉ, our Catholic Adult Faith Enrichment group,
is offering a Lenten Bible Study on Tuesday evenings
from 7:00-8:00 pm in the lower level of the Schneider
Parish Center.
The class begins February 17 and concludes March
24. We will gather in small groups to review and dis-
cuss the Scripture readings for each of the upcoming
Sundays of Lent.
This year we are using a book called “At Home with
the Word 2015”. The book contains the Sunday read-
ings and commentaries for the entire liturgical year,
so those who choose to purchase the book can refer to
it through November.
Joining a small faith-sharing group is a special way to
reinforce your personal Lenten journey, and each year
those who participate are always glad that they did.
The study book is optional and costs approximately
$9. To register for this class, or to receive more infor-
mation, please send email to:
[email protected] or call Paul Harkins at 610-
466-7494 or Sue Brown at 610-857-2026.
If you are not able to attend the meetings but would
like to prepare the readings at home, please contact us
to order a book.
Rachel’s Vineyard Ministries
Rachel’s Vineyard retreats are for anyone hurting

give yourself and others.

March 20th to 22nd 2015, at the Spirituality Center
in Frazer, Pa.
Please call 215-906-6337 or 610-399-0890

FEBRUARY 1, 2015-THE FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
Reflection by Rev. Leonard N. Peterson
“May I see your photo ID?” That’s a question expected from the passport inspector at any given airport.
But it was quite a surprise to hear it coming from my doctor’s secretary. I thought this was a sad sign of the
times we live in, when duplicity is the main tool of petty thieves and terrorists in our newly suspicious atmos-
phere.
In His time, Our Lord Jesus Christ had an ID problem of sorts, but in His case, the questioners always asked to
know His identity after He did a good deed, even a miraculous one. In today’s Gospel instance, Jesus frees a
man from the ugly throes of demonic possession. But the townsfolk of Capernaum are quick to ask “What is
this?
A new teaching backed up with authentic authority? It’s as close as they came for a demand to see some ID of
Jesus. No surprise that in a gossip-ridden world, Our Lord’s fame spreads all over the place, which is a partic-
ular theme in the early part of Mark’s story.
The pairing of fame with fortune that dominates the wishes of many people today is a clear contradiction of the
Christian life goals. Fame has already been famously pared down by the artist Andy Warhol into a mere fif-
teen minutes. But that doesn’t deter those ambitious for it.
As for fortune, that pursuit remains ever popular. Lottery tickets are scooped up daily, with little or no thought
on the buyer’s part that their deed “benefits senior citizens.” They want it to benefit them.
Jesus, of course, seeks neither fame nor fortune.
In fact, He tries His best to discourage the one, and has no interest in the other. But He is vitally interested in
people having the correct spiritual ID, including us. Oh yes, we have such an ID. We got it at our Baptism.
On that day, our good parents thought enough of us to pass on to us the greatest gift they could think of:
the Catholic faith that they themselves received.
A faith that so guided their lives that they knew they had to pass it on. And so they did.
The end result is that we know who we are without even looking at any card. We are Christ’s. And hopefully
proud of it. Theoretically at least we reject the twin goals of fame and fortune as the reasons for living.
Practically speaking, we acknowledge the pull of those two items on our hearts.
Sometimes we forget how counterfeit they are because they appear so real. That’s when we have to face facts
and re-examine our daily decisions.
The great season of Lent is now less than a month away. In car talk, that’s “tune-up time.” Right now we can
prepare for that Lenten project. I suspect that there’s a stalwart Seraphim at the gate of heaven staffing the
final checkpoint before we enter.
His “job”, if you will, is to ask us for our “photo ID.” If that’s so, then Lent is a good time to update those
Christian credentials.
There’s an old slogan once used by my late Dad’s insurance company that was valid then and still is today if
placed in the spiritual realm. It proclaimed that “the future belongs to those who prepare for it.” Amen!
First Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15-20
Prophecy for ancient Israel was mediation between themselves and God. The true prophet is a native Israelite
and called by God.
Second Reading: I Corinthians 7:32-35
Paul expresses the equality of men and women in his discussion of sexual status in the community. He gives
clear advice but he does not impose solutions.
Gospel: Mark 1:21-28
Mark recounts in this chapter an eventful day in Capernaum, St. Peter’s home town. First, Jesus performs an
exorcism. But the main point for Mark is that the same power that enables Jesus’ healing also underscores the
authority of His teaching.
