Watch the full Mass here:    • 9am Sunday Mass, January 31, 2021   LIFE GROUP QUESTIONS: 1. “I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their own people; I will put words in the mouth of the prophet, who shall speak to them everything that I command.” Deuteronomy 18:18. What is God’s promise in these words? 2. “They were all amazed, and they kept on asking one another, “What is this? A new teaching -- with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” Mark 1:27 If you were to witness this today do you think you would be able to recognize Jesus performing such acts? 3. Why did God send Jesus to earth? 4. Fr Alex shares, ‘Jesus wasn’t just another prophet….He was THE Prophet!’ What does he mean by this statement? 5. Fr Alex states, ‘Everything we need to know is found in Jesus’. What do those words mean to you? 6. How much time to do you spend talking/listening to Jesus each day? What are the obstacles in your life that prevent you from engaging with Jesus more often?
