Readings
05-Feb-2012
First Reading: Job 7: 1-4. 6-7
The Book of Job takes us to the
depth of human suffering – even to the depths of despair.
Second Reading: 1 Cor. 9:
16-19, 22-23
St. Paul tells of his enthusiasm
for preaching the gospel.
Gospel: Mark 1:29-39
We learn several important pieces
of information from this gospel passage. First, Simon Peter had a mother-in-law.
When we read previously that he left his fishing boat to follow Jesus, we can
safely assume that he left much more than that. He had a family at home and we
hear in this gospel of Jesus healing Peter's mother-in-law. Also, this gospel
helps us recognise the need Jesus had to be away from the crowds and confusion
to take time to pray and become revitalised and strengthened for his ministry..
