Gospel
Mark 1:29-39
Jesus cured many who were sick with various diseases.
On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon’s mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them.
When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him.
Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.
Reflection
In today's reading Jesus showed he really care . Firsly he healed Simon Peter 's mother . In the more people came to him and he healed. Despite healing so many people two things he did not fail to do. Firstly he find a quiet place and make time to pray. Secondly he did not limit his preaching to one place. He said let us go to the nearby villages so i can preach there too. Do we find a quiet place and make time to pray? Do we make time to share the good news to others?
Let us pray
Lord Jesus you heal people because you care. Grant we pray we too will be caring like you.
Amen
