3 OUR LADY OF HOPE YÜÉÅ à{x ctáàéüë á Wxá~ Dear Friends: P eople were always amazed at the power of Jesus - especially when He performed miracles. His power was evident when He reads and preaches with authority. It is more manifest when He simply rebukes a demon and the demon leaves His human host - not because he wants to, but because he knows true authority when he sees and hears it. It is no wonder the people are astonished. They ve never seen this kind of immediate response. This is no mother s kiss to heal the little hurts of life, no magician pretending to have power he doesn t. This is the son of God come to cast out evil itself and open the Scriptures so the people can hear God s Word in a new and powerful way. Today, let us turn to him to heal our wounds and make us whole. Yours in Christ, Very Rev. Michael A. Carrano 5:00 P.M. Father Armato 7:30 P.M. Msgr. Pflomm 8:00 A.M. Father Armato 9:30 A.M.
