(5th Sunday Ordinary Time, B)
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. Mk_1:29-39
When we bring our petitions, our needs, our pain to Jesus, He will heal us. This is the hope of our faith. But we must trust in Him. We must be patient in receiving our answer. And above all we need to keep our spirits up that they may receive whatever answer Jesus brings to us. Are we spiritually ill? Jesus will lighten our burden. Are we physically ill? We know that even to the extreme of death, we have a better life to live after this earthly tent is spent. Hope in Jesus, beloved! And all will be well!
Pray this week for all who are sick and/or suffering, as we celebrate the 29th World Day of the Sick along with the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes this Thursday, Feb 11.
