On First Saturday, February 7th, after the 8:00 AM Mass, there will be Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, and the Litany to the Blessed Virgin Mary will be recited. Text Box: Sunday Scripture All of us are called to serve the Lord and to serve one another. Not all people are called to be a Moses or a Paul, but each of us can speak out against the injustices in our society. We can live the teachings of Jesus in our families and in the workplace. We can be the messenger of God's love and forgiveness to someone whom no one else can reach. Such service can bring us great joy. Moses reassures the people that God will one day raise up a prophet like him among them. Paul teaches that some people are called to devote their lives to service to the Lord. In the Gospel, Mark tells us that Jesus taught in the synagogue and expelled unclean spirits. The people were astonished and amazed by the authority of his words.
