FALSEPROPHETS,TRUEPROPHETSIn Deuteronomy today we hear that God’s very wordswill ill themouthofa trueprophet,butafalseprophetwill, in a manner of speaking, put mere mortal wordsintoGod’smouth.InMark’sGospel,weseeJesusteachingand healing as a true prophet, one filled withthe authorityofGod’sownvoice, theHolyOneofGod.Thewholehistoryofourchurch is illedwithbothtrueand false prophets. But in today’s Gospelwe learn thatJesus’ famespreadbecausehetaughtwithauthority;hewasn’t an authoritybecausehewaspopularor famous.Wealsolearn from him, in his desert temptationconfrontationswith Satan, that anyone can quotescripture, even against God’s purposes. And today wehear that his authoritywas not like that of the scribes,who held the of icial positions of religious authority inhis day. Ourwork is to do our best to discern the trueprophets inourmidst, and to be trueprophets aswell.The psalmist tells us how to do this: by not hardeningourheartswhenGodspeaks.IfwetrulylistentoGod,itwillbeGod’sverywords illingourmouths.

SanctuaryLamp:InMemoryofJomet&WilliamLouiseDonatedby:McNuttFamily

Dear Parishioners, This week we will celebrate a feast and a saint that has a beautiful tradition associated with him. On Tuesday, February 2, we celebrate the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. Also known as Candlemas. This feast recalls how our Blessed Mother, Mary, in obedience to Jewish law, went to the Temple in Jerusalem both to be purified 40 days after the birth of Jesus, and to present him to God as his firstborn. Recall the words and example of Simeon, a righteous man who was found day and night in the Temple, awaiting the consolation of Israel with the coming of the Mesaiah. The words spoken by Simeon as Mary brings her son to the Lord is our words as well: “Lord, now you let your servant go in peace. Your word has been fulfilled. My own eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared for your people.” Like Simeon, our own eyes have seen the works of the Lord. The mighty deeds he has done for us all. We have seen the works of God in our essential workers: doctors, nurses, EMT’s, fire fighters, police officers, sanitation workers, grocery store workers, truck drivers and teachers to name a few. Let us praise and thank God for them. Also, on Wednesday, Feb 3, we celebrate the Memorial of St Blasé, Bishop and Martyr. There is a legend that calls to mind how Blaise, taking two candles and making the sign of the cross loosed a bone that was stuck in the throat of a young boy. There is a beautiful tradition to bless throats on this day. However, because of the Corona Virus pandemic, the Diocese has asked that there be no individual blessing of throats. The priest at the masses will say a general blessing at the end of the masses with the intention of blessing the throats of those present. Reminder: If you would like to participate in the 33 day Consecration to St Joseph, please call the rectory and leave your name and number to purchase the book for the consecration. The cost of the book is $14.95. Checks can be made out to Our Lady of Angels and the deadline is Feb 25 to place your order.

Thanks for your support! Fr. Abels

Mis queridos amigos: Esta semana celebraremos una fiesta y un santo que tiene una bella tradición asociada con él. El martes, 2 de febrero celebraremos la Fiesta de la Presentación del Señor, también conocida como “La Candelaria”. Esta fiesta nos recuerda como Nuestra Madre Santísima, María, en obediencia a la ley Judía, fue al Templo en Jerusalén, 40 días después del nacimiento de Jesús, a ser purificada y a presentarlo a Dios como primogénito. Recuerden las palabras y ejemplo de Simeón, un hombre justo que se encontraba día y noche en el Templo, esperando el consuelo de Israel con la venida del Mesías. Las palabras pronunciadas por Simeón mientras María llevaba a su hijo al Señor son nuestras palabras también: “Ahora, Señor, puedes, según tu palabra, dejar que tu siervo se vaya en paz; porque han visto mis ojos tu salvación, la que has preparado a la vista de todos los pueblos.” Igual a Simeón, nuestros ojos han visto las obras del Señor. Las obras maravillosas que Él ha hecho por todos nosotros. Hemos visto las obras de Dios en nuestros trabajadores esenciales: los doctores, los enfermeros , técnicos de emergencia médica, el departamento de bomberos, la policía, el departamento de saneamiento, trabajadores de tiendas, choferes y maestros por nombrar a algunos. Alabemos y demos gracias a Dios por ellos. También, el miércoles 3 de febrero, celebramos el Memorial de San Blas, Obispo y Mártir. Existe una leyenda que nos recuerda como Blas, tomo dos velas y haciendo la señal de la cruz, aflojo un hueso que estaba atascado en la garganta de un joven. Hay una hermosa tradición de bendecir las gargantas en este día. Sin embargo, debido a la pandemia del corona virus, la Diócesis ha pedido que no se realicen bendiciones de gargantas individuales. El sacerdote en la Misas dirá una bendición general al final de las Misas con la intención de bendecir las gargantas de los que están presentes. Recordatorio: Si desea participar en la Consagración a San José de 33 días, por favor llame a la Rectoría y deje su nombre y número telefónico para comprar el libro necesario para la consagración. El costo del libro es $14.95. Su cheque

puede ser escrito a “Our Lady of Angels”. El plazo para recibir su pedido será hasta el 25 de febrero.

¡Gracias por su apoyo! Fr. Abels
