His Gospel (like the others has its own characteristics. He is writing for a Jewish audience, and so is always at pains to stress one thing: that Jesus of Nazareth was the promised Messiah. He does this by reference to Jesus\u2019 teaching and miracles, and very often by quoting the prophecies of the Old Testament to show that Jesus was their fulfilment. Today is a perfect example. Zebulun and Naphthali was an old name for the area round Capernaum by the side of the Lake of Galilee, a busy fishing and trading area, with many Gentile towns and settlements: it is here, rather than in the dangerous town of Nazareth, that Jesus settles and begins his ministry. This is where the proclamation of the Kingdom of God begins, as was foretold, and the first followers are invited to join Jesus.<\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Weekly Newsletter click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2023\/01\/220123-3A.pdf\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To view and download a copy of the Prayers of the Faithful click <a href=\"https:\/\/11host.me\/stmary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/220123 3ABidding.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>To make a donation click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mygivinghub.com\/detailed\/donate?charity_id=1086324&amp;type=2&amp;reference=Y18&amp;amount=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>3rd Sunday of Ordinary Time We will spend most of the Sundays of the coming year in the company of Saint Matthew.
