Faith Formation Corner
5th Sunday of Ordinary Time – Cycle B
In the Gospel reading, after Jesus spent the
day and evening performing miracles, we
hear these incredible words: “Rising very
early before dawn, He left and went off to a
deserted place, where He prayed.” Even
Jesus had to find time to pray and speak with
His Father, even if it meant, “Rising very
early before dawn.” If it was important to
Jesus, why is it even more important for you
to spend time in prayer? What steps can you
take to deepen your times of prayer?
Today, February 8, 2015, is the International
Day of Prayer and Awareness Against Human Trafficking. On Feb. 8, Catholics all
over the world are encouraged to pray in
order to create greater awareness about this
tragic phenomenon. Through prayer, we not
only reflect on the experiences of those that
have suffered through this affront to human
dignity, but also comfort, strengthen, and
help empower survivors. To learn more, see
