SAINT PATRICK'S PARISH SOCIAL

DISCLOSURE SCOTLAND
Will all volunteers please notify Kate on 464063 as soon as clearance from Disclosure Scotland is received? This will allow the rotas for the Children's Liturgy to be made up.

THANKS
The family of Mary Kelly would like to thank all who attended their mother's funeral and for all the cards and support they received. It was very much appreciated. Mass will be offered for the intentions of all.

MID-TERM BREAK
There will be no Parents and Toddlers, Rainbows or Brownies on Monday 13 February.


All we can live is our own dream in the light or shadow of oneself.
No-one can live on what might have been.


Don't run through life so fast that you forget not only where you've been,
but where you are going.


The most difficult part of attaining perfection
is finding something to do for an encore.



READINGS
The readings for this weekend's Masses are shown below in English. They are available in eleven other languages
including French, German, Italian, Polish and Spanish by clicking on this link.


First Reading
          Leviticus 13:1-2.44-46
The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "If a swelling or scab or shiny spot appears on a man's skin, a case of leprosy of the skin is to be suspected. The man must be taken to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the priests who are his sons. The priest must declare him unclean; he is suffering from leprosy of the head. A man infected with leprosy must wear his clothing torn and his hair disordered; he must shield his upper lip and cry, Unclean, unclean. As long as the disease lasts he must be unclean; and therefore he must live apart: he must live outside the camp.".

Second Reading           1 Corinthians 10:31 - 11:1
Whatever you eat, whatever you drink, whatever you do at all, do it for the glory of God. Never do anything offensive to anyone - to Jews or Greeks or to the Church of God; just as I try to be helpful to everyone at all times, not anxious for my own advantage but for the advantage of everybody else, so that they may be saved. Take me for your model, as I take Christ.

Gospel           Mark 1:40-45
A leper came to Jesus and pleaded on his knees: "If you want to" he said "you can cure me." Feeling sorry for him, Jesus stretched out his hand and touched him. "Of course I want to!" he said. "Be cured!" And the leprosy left him at once and he was cured. Jesus immediately sent him away and sternly ordered him, "Mind you say nothing to anyone, but go and show yourself to the priest, and make the offering for your healing prescribed by Moses as evidence of your recovery." The man went away, but then started talking about it freely and telling the story everywhere, so that Jesus could no longer go openly into any town, but had to stay outside in places where nobody lived. Even so, people from all around would come to him.
