Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time – Sunday, 5th February 2012
... Fr. Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
 

“The fever left her and she began to wait on them.” One of the lovely features of the Gospels is the number of healing stories they contain. Nothing is too big or too small to bring to Jesus. He raised Lazarus from the dead; he healed Peter’s mother-in-law from a fever. That same Jesus is with us and among us with the same power and the same longing, to heal us into wholeness. All we have to do is ask him for what we need for ourselves and for one another and know that he will answer. We all need his healing power in so far as we set limits to our love for one another because his great commandment is to love. Husbands and wives often need to stretch their love into forgiveness if they are to go forward together. Parents need to grow in understanding of their children. And in our faith community we need Christ’s power to help us to take true responsibility for those in need.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

First Reading: Job 7:1-4.6-7
Restlessly I fret till twilight falls.

Second Reading: Corinthians 9:16-19.22-23
I do not boast of preaching the gospel, since it is a duty which has been laid on me;
I should be punished if I did not preach it.

Gospel: Mark 1:29-39
He cured many who suffered from diseases of one kind or another.

 

Reflection:

Living God, source of light and life,
we come to you as broken members of your body;
your strength is our strength,
your health is our health,
and your being is our being.
Grant us your wisdom in our work,
your love in our pain
and your peace in our hearts.
Send your blessing on all those who care for the sick,
and those whom they serve,
and give us the joy of everlasting love.
In the name of Jesus your Son.
