A LETTER FROM THE RECTOR
Dear Sisters and Brothers:
In today's Gospel (Mk. 1:21ff), the Lord Jesus really wows the crowds. He is teaching in a new way. The content is different, and the method is too. There is something new here. "Look at this, he teaches with authority and not like our scribes!" Even the evil spirits can not resist the power and the message. "Be gone," He says in a liberating thunder!
The beauty of the story is the intimate bond between the man and the message. They are the same: He is the Word, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. And in Him there would be no disconnect. He would preach what he practiced, and practice what was preached. And the Word would have it's effect.
Now think about what that means for today: His words of forgiveness, His promise of eternal life, His call to a holy and authentic life carry all the weight and authenticity that those folks in the synagogue at Capernaum saw too. And what a joy and a privilege it is for us, here and now, to proclaim it anew and celebrate it.
Your support and work allow that to happen. Thank you for that support, especially when sometimes it is not easy.
PSA is coming, so please continue your prayer. This week, consider praying about how that Word is still changing lives. And thank God for it!
Prayers and best wishes,
Rev. Msgr. Douglas Cook
Rector
