Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions for February 2019 Human Trafficking For a generous welcome of the victims of human trafficking, of enforced prostitution, and of violence.

“Do here also in your hometown the things that we have heard you did at Capernaum.” (Lk 4:23) We get the impression from the people of

Nazareth that they wanted to see spectacles, a show, like going to the circus. Or, perhaps they felt left out, like someone else is getting too much attention and we’re not. Or both. In any case, we don’t see them developing the kind of generous and grateful attitude we know the Lord wants all people to adopt. Shouldn’t they be happy that the people of Capernaum are getting some attention and that good things are happening for them? No doubt we are called to do good for others, insofar as we are able. And, at least, we should be glad for them when they are blest. But the fundamental challenge for us, as for all Christians, is to grow in holiness of heart. That is, we need to get rid of jealousy when we see good things happen to bad people and of hopelessness when we see “good” people do bad things, for example. We usually can’t do much about what happens in the world around us, but we can strive to be holy by inviting the Lord to enter in and do with us whatever He thinks best. This holiness project is often the only thing we can do and always the most important thing.

Prayer Brings Healing: Please pray for the people whose intentions are written in the prayer for healing book located in front of the statue of child Jesus and St. Teresa.

Gospel Reflection 9:00 am Thursday We reflect, discuss and meditate on the weekend gospel passage to prepare us to enter deeper into the Sacred Mystery of Christ.

While you are proclaiming peace with your lips, be careful to have it even more fully in your heart. in

whatever way it comes. -St. Francis of Assisi

Saint of the Week: SAINT BLAISE was the bishop of Sebastea and a doctor. The first known record of the saint's life comes from the medical writings of Aëtius Amidenus, where he is recorded as helping with patients suffering from objects stuck in their throat.

Saint Blaise is believed to begin as a healer then, eventually, became a "physician of souls." He then retired to a cave, where he remained in prayer. People often turned to Saint Blaise for healing miracles. In 316, the governor of Cappadocia and of Lesser Armenia, Agricola, arrested then-bishop Blaise for being a Christian. On their way to the jail, a woman set her only son, who was chocking to death on a fish bone, at his feet. Blaise cured the child, and though Agricola was amazed, he could not get Blaise to renounce his faith. Therefore, Agricola beat Blaise with a stick and tore at his flesh with iron combs before beheading him. Find more on St. Blaise on the website at www.stpaullakefield.org on the Facebook page and on your email copy of the bulletin.

Raised $ 7,935

For its present & future, St. Paul the Apostle Parish welcomes donations and bequests, large or small, so please consider your church in your giving and when making your will.

Saint Blaise Feast Day February 3

St. Blaise was the bishop of Sebastea and a doctor. The first known record of the saint's life comes from the medical writings of Aëtius Amidenus, where he is recorded as helping with patients suffering from objects stuck in their throat. Many of the miraculous aspects of St. Blaise's life are written of 400 years after his martyrdom in the "Acts of St. Blaise." Saint Blaise is believed to begin as a healer then, eventually, became a "physician of souls." He then retired to a cave, where he remained in prayer. People often turned to Saint Blaise for healing miracles. In 316, the governor of Cappadocia and of Lesser Armenia, Agricola, arrested then-bishop Blaise for being a Christian. On their way to the jail, a woman set her only son, who was chocking to death on a fish bone, at his feet. Blaise cured the child, and though Agricola was amazed, he could not get Blaise to renounce his faith. Therefore, Agricola beat Blaise with a stick and tore at his flesh with iron combs before beheading him. In another tale, Blaise was being led to the prison in Sebastea, and on the way came across a poor old woman whose pig had been stolen by a wolf. Blaise

commanded the wolf return the pig, which it did -alive and uninjured - to the amazement of all. When he reached Sebastea, the woman came to him and brought two fine wax candles in an attempt to dispel the gloom of his darkened cell. In the Middle Ages, Blaise became quite popular and his legend as a beast tamer spread. He was then referred to as the "saint of the wild beast." Many German churches are dedicated to Saint Blaise, sometimes called Saint Blasius. In Great Britain, the village of St. Blazey got its name from Saint Blaise, and a church dedicated to the saint can be found in Decon hamlet of Haccombe, near Newton Abbot. There is a Saint Blaise's Well in Kent, and the water is believed to have medicinal properties. A Blessing of the Throats ceremony is held every February 3 at Saint Etheldreda's Church in Londan and Balve, Germany. A Catholic middle school was named after Saint Blaise in Bradford, West Yorkshire. The name was decided upon when the link between Bradford and the woolen industry was connected to the way St. Blaise was martyred: with woolcomb. Saint Blaise is often depicted holding two crossed candles in his hand, or in a cave with wild animals. He is also often shown with steel combs. The similarity of the steel combs and the wool combs made a large contribution to Saint Blaise's leadership as the patron saint of wool combers and the wool trade.
