Memorial of Saint Agatha, Virgin and Martyr

Reading 1 1 Kgs 8:1-7, 9-13

The elders of Israel and all the leaders of the tribes,
the princes in the ancestral houses of the children of Israel,
came to King Solomon in Jerusalem,
to bring up the ark of the LORD's covenant
from the City of David, which is Zion.
All the people of Israel assembled before King Solomon
during the festival in the month of Ethanim (the seventh month).
When all the elders of Israel had arrived,
the priests took up the ark;
they carried the ark of the LORD
and the meeting tent with all the sacred vessels
that were in the tent.
(The priests and Levites carried them.)

King Solomon and the entire community of Israel
present for the occasion
sacrificed before the ark sheep and oxen
too many to number or count.
The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD
to its place beneath the wings of the cherubim in the sanctuary,
the holy of holies of the temple.
The cherubim had their wings spread out over the place of the ark,
sheltering the ark and its poles from above.
There was nothing in the ark but the two stone tablets
which Moses had put there at Horeb,
when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel
at their departure from the land of Egypt.

When the priests left the holy place,
the cloud filled the temple of the LORD
so that the priests could no longer minister because of the cloud,
since the LORD's glory had filled the temple of the LORD.
Then Solomon said, "The LORD intends to dwell in the dark cloud;
I have truly built you a princely house,
a dwelling where you may abide forever."

Responsorial Psalm PS 132:6-7, 8-10

R. (8a) Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
we found it in the fields of Jaar.
Let us enter into his dwelling,
let us worship at his footstool.
R. Lord, go up to the place of your rest!
Advance, O LORD, to your resting place,
you and the ark of your majesty.
May your priests be clothed with justice;
let your faithful ones shout merrily for joy.
For the sake of David your servant,
reject not the plea of your anointed.
R. Lord, go up to the place of your rest!

Gospel MK 6:53-56

After making the crossing to the other side of the sea,
Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret
and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.
They scurried about the surrounding country
and began to bring in the sick on mats
to wherever they heard he was.
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces
and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak;
and as many as touched it were healed.

Transfer of the Ark of the Covenant

---

[1] Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes,
the leaders of the fathers’ houses of the people of Israel, before King Solomon in
Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of Da-
vid, which is Zion. [2] And all the men of Israel assembled to King Solomon at
the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month. [3] And all the el-
ders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark. [4] And they brought up the
ark of the LORD, the tent of meeting and all the holy vessels that were in the
tent the priests and the Levites brought them up. [5] And King Solomon and all
the congregation of Israel who had assembled before him were with him before
the ark, sacrificing so many sheep and oxen that they could not be counted or
numbered. [6] Then the priests brought the ark of the covenant of the LORD to
its place, in the inner sanctuary of the house, in the most holy place, under-
neath the wings of the cherubim. [7] For the cherubim spread out their wings
over the place of the ark, so that the cherubim made a covering above the ark
and its poles. [9] There was nothing in the ark except the two tables of stone
which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the
people of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt. [10] And when the
priests came out of the holy place, a cloud filled the house of the LORD, [11] so
that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of
the LORD filled the house of the LORD.

[12] Then Solomon said, “The LORD has set the sun in the heavens, but has
said that he would dwell in thick darkness. [13] I have built thee an exalted
house, a place for thee to dwell in for ever.”

*********************************************************************************************
Commentary:

8:1-9:9. Once the temple was built and furnished, the key thing remained to be
fulfilled—that God should accept it as his dwelling-place. This section brings us
to the most important passage in the books of the Kings. This temple dedicated
by Solomon now becomes the place of the presence of God—the same presence
as Moses and the people enjoyed in the wilderness (Ex 25:8-9). Jesus himself
recognizes the temple of Jerusalem as the house of God (cf. Mt 21:13 and par.;
Jn 2:16) and in fact it is there that he will manifest himself to men. So, it is not
surprising that the early Christian writers should see Solomon as a figure of
Christ: “The temple that Solomon built for the Lord was a type and figure of the
future Church, the body of the Lord as it is described in the Gospel: “Destroy
this temple, and in three days I will raise it up”. In the same way as Solomon
built that temple, the true Solomon, our Lord Jesus Christ, the true peacemaker,
built a temple. The name Solomon means ‘Peacemaker’ and Jesus Christ is the
true peacemaker, of whom the Apostle said: “He is our peace. He has formed
the two peoples into one body”. He is the true peacemaker who unites in his per-
son, being himself the cornerstone, the two walls which run from opposite sides
—the believers from among the circumcised people and the believers from among
the uncircumcised Gentiles. From these two peoples, he, the cornerstone, has
raised up one Church, and thus he is the true peacemaker. Christ is the true So-
lomon, and the other Solomon, the son of David, born of Bethsabee, and a king
of Israel, was a figure of the King Peacemaker (to come)” (St Augustine, “Enar-
rationes In Psalmos”, 126, 2).

8:1-13. The sacred writer wants to stress the solemnity and reverence that
marked the transfer of the ark to the temple. Once the ark was positioned in the
inner sanctuary, the poles (which according to Exodus 25:15 had to remain in
the rings) could be seen from outside that sanctuary, to confirm that the ark was
indeed inside. The statement that the ark contained only the tablets of the Law
is designed to show that this is in line with what Moses did according to Exodus
25:21 and to emphasize the Law given to Israel; there are other traditions recor-
ded in the Letter to the Hebrews (cf. Heb 9:4) which say that the ark also con-
tained a small piece of manna (cf. Ex 16:33) and the rod of Aaron (cf. Num 17:
25).

The Septuagint Greek places the words of Solomon in v. 12b (along with v. 13)
in v. 53, and gives the source as “the Book of Song”. According to v. 12 (RSV)
Solomon is acknowledging God to be both in the light of the sun and in the sha-
dow of the cloud. See the RSV note z. “These two images occur together in the
manifestations of the Holy Spirit. In the theophanies of the Old Testament, the
cloud, now obscure, now luminous, reveals the living and saving God, while vei-
ling the transcendence of his glory—with Moses on Mount Sinai (cf. Ex 24:15-18),
at the tent of meeting (cf. Ex 33:9-10) and during the wandering in the desert (cf.
Ex 40:36-38; 1 Cor 10:1-2) and with Solomon at the dedication of the Temple (cf.
1 King 8:10-12). In the Holy Spirit, Christ fulfills these figures. The Spirit comes
upon the Virgin Mary and ‘overshadows’ her, so that she might conceive and give
birth to Jesus (Lk 1:35). On the mountain of Transfiguration, the Spirit in the
‘cloud came and overshadowed’ Jesus, Moses and Elijah, Peter, James and
John, and ‘a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen;
listen to him!” (Lk 9:34-35). Finally, the cloud took Jesus out of the sight of the
disciples on the day of his Ascension, and will reveal him as Son of Man in glo-
ry on the day of his final coming (cf. Lk 21:27)” (”Catechism of the Catholic
Church”, 697).

1 Kings 8:1-7,9-13 ©

The Ark of the Covenant is brought into the Temple

Solomon called the elders of Israel together in Jerusalem to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord up from the Citadel of David, which is Zion. All the men of Israel assembled round King Solomon in the month of Ethanim, at the time of the feast (that is, the seventh month), and the priests took up the ark and the Tent of Meeting with all the sacred vessels that were in it. In the presence of the ark, King Solomon and all Israel sacrificed sheep and oxen, countless, innumerable. The priests brought the ark of the covenant of the Lord to its place, in the Debir of the Temple, that is, in the Holy of Holies, under the cherubs’ wings. For there where the ark was placed the cherubs spread out their wings and sheltered the ark and its shafts. There was nothing in the ark except the two stone tablets Moses had placed in it at Horeb, the tablets of the covenant which the Lord had made with the Israelites when they came out of the land of Egypt; they are still there today.

  Now when the priests came out of the sanctuary, the cloud filled the Temple of the Lord, and because of the cloud the priests could no longer perform their duties: the glory of the Lord filled the Lord’s Temple.

  Then Solomon said:

‘The Lord has chosen to dwell in the thick cloud.

Yes, I have built you a dwelling,

a place for you to live in for ever.’

Responsorial Psalm

Psalm 131(132):6-10 ©

Go up, Lord, to the place of your rest!

At Ephrata we heard of the ark;

  we found it in the plains of Yearim.

‘Let us go to the place of his dwelling;

  let us go to kneel at his footstool.’

Go up, Lord, to the place of your rest!

Go up, Lord, to the place of your rest,

  you and the ark of your strength.

Your priests shall be clothed with holiness;

  your faithful shall ring out their joy.

For the sake of David your servant

  do not reject your anointed.

Go up, Lord, to the place of your rest!

All those who touched him were cured

Having made the crossing, Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up. No sooner had they stepped out of the boat than people recognised him, and started hurrying all through the countryside and brought the sick on stretchers to wherever they heard he was. And wherever he went, to village, or town, or farm, they laid down the sick in the open spaces, begging him to let them touch even the fringe of his cloak. And all those who touched him were cured.

Jesus, High Priest

 

We thank you, God our Father, for those who have responded to your call to priestly ministry.

Accept this prayer we offer on their behalf: Fill your priests with the sure knowledge of your love.

Open their hearts to the power and consolation of the Holy Spirit.

Lead them to new depths of union with your Son.

Increase in them profound faith in the Sacraments they celebrate as they nourish, strengthen and heal us.

Lord Jesus Christ, grant that these, your priests, may inspire us to strive for holiness by the power of their example, as men of prayer who ponder your word and follow your will.

O Mary, Mother of Christ and our mother, guard with your maternal care these chosen ones, so dear to the Heart of your Son.

Intercede for our priests, that offering the Sacrifice of your Son, they may be conformed more each day to the image of your Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.

February Devotion: The Holy Family

Since the 16th century Catholic piety has assigned entire months to special devotions. The month of February has been primarily asociated with the Holy Family, probably due to the feast of Our Lord's presentation at the temple, celebrated on February 2. At the very outset of Christ's work on earth, God showed the world a family in which, as Pope Leo XIII teaches, "all men might behold a perfect model of domestic life, and of all virtue and holiness." The harmony, unity, and holiness which characterized this holy Family make it the model for all Christian families.

INVOCATION
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph most kind, Bless us now and in death's agony.

FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE HOLY FAMILY
Grant unto us, Lord Jesus, ever to follow the example of Thy holy Family, that in the hour of our death Thy glorious Virgin Mother together with blessed Joseph may come to meet us and we may be worthily received by Thee into everlasting dwellings: who livest and reignest world without end. Amen.
Roman Missal

CONSECRATION TO THE HOLY FAMILY
O Jesus, our most loving Redeemer, who having come to enlighten the world with Thy teaching and example, didst will to pass the greater part of Thy life in humility and subjection to Mary and Joseph in the poor home of Nazareth, thus sanctifying the Family that was to be an example for all Christian families, graciously receive our family as it dedicates and consecrates itself to Thee this day. Do Thou defend us, guard us and establish amongst us Thy holy fear, true peace, and concord in Christian love: in order that, by conforming ourselves to the divine pattern of Thy family, we may be able, all of us without exception, to attain to eternal happiness.

Mary, dear Mother of Jesus and Mother of us, by thy kindly intercession make this our humble offering acceptable in the sight of Jesus, and obtain for us His graces and blessings.

O Saint Joseph, most holy guardian of Jesus and Mary, assist us by thy prayers in all our spiritual and temporal necessities; that so we may be enabled to praise our divine Savior Jesus, together with Mary and thee, for all eternity.

Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory be, three times.

IN HONOR OF THE HOLY FAMILY
O God, heavenly Father, it was part of Thine eternal decree that Thine only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the Savior of the human race, should form a holy family with Mary, His blessed mother, and His foster father, Saint Joseph. In Nazareth home life was sanctified, and a perfect example was given to every Christian family. Grant, we beseech Thee, that we may fully comprehend and faithfully imitate the virtues of the Holy Family so that we may be united with them one day in their heavenly glory. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.

Holy Family Chaplet

Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, I give you my heart.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, be with me in my last hour.
Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, may I breathe forth my soul
in peace with you.

Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God and true man.
Blessed be the great Mother of God, Mary most holy.
Blessed be St. Joseph, her most chaste spouse. Amen.

Say 3 Our Father's, 3 Hail Mary's, and 3 Glory be's.

PRAYER TO
THE HOLY FAMILY
===================================================================== ================

GOD our Heavenly Father, You call all peoples to be united as one family in worshipping You as the one and true God. You willed that Your Son become man, giving Him a virgin mother and a foster father to form the Holy Family of Nazareth.

WE pray: may the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, image and model of every human family unit walk in the spirit of Nazareth and grow in the understanding of its particular mission in society and the Church. May our families be living cells of love, faithfulness and unity, thus reflecting God's covenant with humanity and Christ's redeeming love for His Church.

JESUS, Mary and Joseph protect our families from all evil; keep us, who are away from home, one in love with our dear ones.

Parent's Prayer

Jesus, Son of God, Son of Man, and Son of Mary, I thank you for the gift of life you have entrusted to my care. Help me be a parent both tender and wise, both loving and forgiving.

Mary, Holy Mother of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and our Motherly Queen of Heaven, nourish our family with your heavenly grace. Help us to remain faithful to The Most Holy Trinity, in all our sorrows and joys.

Joseph, Earthly father to our Lord God, guardian and spouse of Mary, keep our family safe from harm. Help us in all times of discouragement or anxiety.

Holy Family of Nazareth, help our family to walk in your footsteps. May we be peace-loving and peace-giving.
Amen.

Commentary of the day
Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582), Carmelite, Doctor of the Church
The way of perfection, ch. 34 (©Institute of Carmelite studies)

"As many as touched it were healed"

Now if, when Jesus went about in the world, the mere touch of his robes cured the sick, why doubt, if we have faith, that miracles will be worked while he is within us and that he will give what we ask of him since, in eucharistic communion, he is in our house? His Majesty is not accustomed to paying poorly for his lodging if the hospitality is good. If it pains you not to see him with your bodily eyes, con­sider that seeing him so is not fitting for us...

But our Lord reveals himself to those who he sees will benefit by his presence. Even though they fail to see him with their bodily eyes, he has many methods of showing himself to the soul, through great interior feelings and through other different ways. Be with him will­ingly; don't lose so good an occasion for conversing with him as is the hour after having received Communion.
