2 till the dawn. My days are swifter than a weaver s shuttle, and come to their end without hope. Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good. The Word of the LORD. RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Ps. 147:1-6 (R. see 3a); R. Praise the LORD Who heals the broken-hearted. Or: Alleluia How good to sing psalms to our God; how pleasant to chant fitting praise! The LORD builds up Jerusalem and brings back Israel s exiles. R. He heals the broke-hearted; He Binds up all their wounds. He counts out the number of the stars; He calls each one by its name. R. Our LORD is great and almighty; His wisdom can never be measured. The LORD lifts up the lowly; He casts down the wicked to the ground. R. SECOND READING: 1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23; Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel. A reading from the First Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians. Brethren: If I preach the Gospel that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward; but if not of my own will, I am entrusted with a commission. What then is my reward? Just this: that in my preaching I may make the Gospel free of charge, not making 2 Remember, Rejoice, Renew full use of my right in the Gospel. For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, that I might win the more. To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men that I might by all means save some. I do it all for the sake of the Gospel, that I may share in its blessings. The Word of the LORD.
3 ALLELUIA: Matthew 8:17 V. Alleluia R. Alleluia V. Christ took our infirmities and bore our diseases. R. Alleluia GOSPEL: Mark 1:29-39; He healed many who were sick with various diseases. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark. At that time: Leaving the synagogue, Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told Him of her. And He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her; and she served them. That evening, at sundown, they brought to Him all who were sick or possessed with demons. And the whole city was gathered together about the door. And He healed many who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He would not permit the demons to speak, because they knew Him. And in the morning, a great while before day, He rose and went out to a lonely place, and there He prayed. And Simon and those who were with Him followed Him, and they found Him and said to Him, Everyone is searching for you. And He said to them, Let us go on to the next towns that I may preach there also; for that is why I came out. And he went throughout all Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and casting out demons. The Gospel of the LORD. Remember, Rejoice, Renew 3
4 In the First Reading Job describes our painful struggles in this world as we seek a sweet Msgr. Gerard Kalumba life! We work so hard as slaves. We work for long hours under the scorching heat of the sun and we are paid peanuts at the end of the day. We would wish that our salaries bring us lasting joy instead we keep on living empty lives! We lack fulfillment, and we are allotted months of emptiness and nights of misery! When we go to sleep we say when shall we arise? The night appears so long and we feel tossed in our beds till the dawn. Our days are so swift and they come to their end without leaving us any hope. Remember that our lives are a breath, we die and our wages do not save us from the pains of death. These were the experiences of Job and they happen to be our own experiences. We are restless in this world until we find rest in Christ. Today s Gospel points clearly to the role Christ plays: He is a giver of LIFE where the World is imposing pain on us. Now Simon s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever, and immediately they told Jesus of her and He came and took her by the hand and lifted her up, and the fever left her, and she served them. After healing the mother-in-law of Simon He went ahead and healed many who were sick with various diseases and cast out many demons. Interestingly the devils which give us trouble in this world know Christ very well, but Jesus did not allow them to speak. 4 Remember, Rejoice, Renew THE PARISH PRIEST S REFLECTION Job 7:1-4, Corinthians 9:16-19, Mark 1:29-39 THIS WORLD MAKES US WORK SO HARD AS SLAVES BUT ITS WAGES DO NOT SATISFY US UNTIL CHRIST PAYS US FINALLY Let us be careful to decipher the voice of the devil even when it proclaims Christ Christ does not allow the devil to proclaim Him. Earlier the devils had made an appeal to Christ: What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know Who You are, THE HOLY ONE OF GOD. Jesus has Authority over the Devils which enslave us in this world causing us untold pains like it did in the life of Job! Job stuck to his God when the devil attacked him so did Christ. Jesus sought moments of prayer in order to remain focused: He rose very early in the morning and went out to a lonely place, and THERE HE PRAYED. Because Jesus was focused to the true image of God, EVERY ONE was searching for Him. People were attracted to Him. He went around all the towns to preach the Good News of the satisfying wages. St. Paul who tasted Christ s life personally can conclude our reflection with his message from the Second Reading in his first letter to the Corinthians: Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel! For if I do this of my own will, I have a Reward: That in his preaching he may make the Gospel free of Charge to win as many as possible to share in Christ s Blessings. Paul works hard in all circumstances to get satisfaction in Christ and to direct us to this satisfaction in Him the Holy one of God Jesus Christ. Msgr. Gerard Kalumba Christ the King Parish, Kampala

6 Saint Josephine Margaret Bakhita was born around 1869 in the village of Olgossa in the Darfur region of Sudan. She was a member of the Daju people and her uncle was a tribal chief. Due to her family lineage, she grew up happy and relatively prosperous, saying that as a child, she did not know suffering. Historians believe that sometime in February 1877, Josephine was kidnapped by Arab slave traders. Although she was just a child, she was forced to walk barefoot over 600 miles to a slave market in El Obeid. She was bought and sold at least twice during the grueling journey. For the next 12 years she would be bought, sold and given away over a dozen times. She spent so much time in captivity that she forgot her original name. As a slave, her experiences varied from fair treatment to cruel. Her first owner, a wealthy Arab, gave her to his daughters as a maid. The assignment was easy until she offended her owner s son, possibly for the crime of breaking a vase. As punishment, she was beaten so severely she was incapacitated for a month. After that, she was sold. One of her owners was a Turkish general who gave her to his wife and mother-in-law who both beat her daily. Josephine wrote that as soon as one wound would heal, they would inflict St. Josephine Bakhita Feastday: February 8 Patron of Sudan Birth: 1869 Death: February 8, 1947 Beatified By: May 17, 1992 by Pope John Paul II Canonized By: October 1, 2000 by Pope John Paul II another. She told about how the general s wife ordered her to be scarred. As her mistress watched, ready with a whip, another woman drew patterns on her skin with flour, then cut into her flesh with a blade. She rubbed the wounds with salt to make the scars permanent. She would suffer a total of 114 scars from this abuse. In 1883, the Turkish general sold her to the Italian Vice Consul, Callisto Legani. He was a much kinder master and he did not beat her. When it was time for him to return to Italy, she begged to be taken with him, and he agreed. After a long and dangerous journey across Sudan, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean, they arrived in Italy. She was given away to another family as a gift and she served them as a nanny. Her new family also had dealings in Sudan had when her mistress decided to travel to Sudan without Josephine, she placed her in the custody of the Canossian Sisters in Venice. While she was in the custody of the sisters, she came to learn about God. According to Josephine, she had always known about God, who created all things, but she did not know who He was. The sisters answered her questions. She was deeply moved by her time with the sisters and discerned a call to follow Christ. When her mistress returned from Sudan, Josephine refused to leave. Her mistress spent three days trying to persuade her to leave the 6 Remember, Rejoice, Renew
7 sisters, but Josephine remained steadfast. This caused the superior of the institute for baptismal candidates among the sisters to complain to Italian authorities on Josephine s behalf. The case went to court, and the court found that slavery had been outlawed in Sudan before Josephine was born, so she could not be lawfully made slave. She was declared free. For the first time in her life, Josephine was free and could choose what to do with her life. She chose to remain with the Canossian Sisters. She was baptized on January 9, 1890 and took the name Josephine Margaret and Fortunata. (Fortunata is the Latin translation for her Arabic name, Bakhita). She also received the sacraments of her first holy communion and confirmation on the same day. These three sacraments are the sacraments of initiation into the Church and were always given together in the early Church. The Archbishop who gave her the sacraments was none other than Giusseppe Sarto, the Cardinal Patriarch of Venice, who would later become Pope Pius X. Josephine became a novice with the CanossianDaughters of Charity religious order on December 7, 1893, and took her final vows on December 8, She was eventually assigned to a convent in Schio, Vicenza. For the next 42 years of her life, she worked as a cook and a doorkeeper at the convent. She also traveled and visited other convents telling her story to other sisters and preparing them for work in Africa. She was known for her gentle voice and smile. She was gentle and charismatic, and was often referred to lovingly as the little brown sister or honorably as the black mother. When speaking of her enslavement, she often professed she would thank her kidnappers. For had she not been kidnapped, she might never have come to know Jesus Christ and entered His Church. During World War II, the people of the village of Schio regarded her as their protector. And although bombs fell on their village, not one citizen died. In her later years, she began to suffer physical pain and was forced to use a wheelchair. But she always remained cheerful. If anyone asked her how she was, she would reply, As the master desires. On the evening of February 8, 1947, Josephine spoke her last words, Our Lady, Our Lady! She then died. Her body lay on display for three days afterwards. In 1958, the process of canonization began for Josephine under Pope John XXIII. On December 1st, 1978, Pope John Paul II declared her venerable. Sadly, the news of her beatification in 1992 was censored in Sudan. But just nine months later, Pope John Paul II visited Sudan and honored her publicly. He canonized her on October 1, Saint Josephine Bakhita is the patron saint of Sudan and her feast day is celebrated on February 8. Remember, Rejoice, Renew 7
