LITURGY OF THE WORD: Moses reassures the people that God will one day raise up a prophet like him among them. Saint Paul teaches that some people are called to devote their lives to service to the Lord. In the Gospel, Saint Mark tells us that Jesus taught in the synagogue and expelled unclean spirits. The people were astonished and amazed by the authority of his words. THIS WEEK AT ST. JAMES BSA (Broad Street Auditorium) HS(High School) SUNDAY,2/1 REP; Gr.
