Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel, Jesus gives us a formula if we want blessings upon our family. The need for control,
power and selfishness must give way to fair treatment, forgiveness, peace and love for even the weakest
member. A blessing is more than a prayer – it’ s the result of a life well lived.

380 Holy Hour Adorers spent time with our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration that past week. "The time that
you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, is the best time that you will spend on earth. Each
moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlasting more
glorious and beautiful in heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth." (Mother Teresa of
Calcutta) The Holy Hour Program is in need of a gentleman who might consider an hour during the
night. Please call Judy at 330-212-0926 if you are able to help.

First Saturday Devotion to Our Blessed Mother under the title of “Our Lady of Fatima” will be Saturday,
February 5 at 6:00pm. Many Catholics consider devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary an optional
extra. The revelations at Fatima, however, show that devotion to the Immaculate Heart is the only path
to world peace. Won’t you join us?
