FIRST READING:
Job 7:1-4:6-7
Job began to speak:
Is not man‟s life on earth nothing
more than pressed service, his time
no better than hired drudgery?
Like the slave, sighing for the shade,
or the workman with no thought but
his wages, months of delusion I have assigned to me,
nothing for my own but nights of grief.
Lying in bed I wonder, „ When will it be day?‟
Risen I think, „How slowly evening comes!‟
Restlessly I fret till twilight falls.
Swifter than a weaver‟s shuttle my days have passed,
and vanished, leaving no hope behind.
Remember that my life is but a breath, and that my
eyes will never again see joy.
The Word of the Lord.

Each person forced into slavery has a personal story
of struggles, hopes and dreams. St Josephine
Bakhita, who was canonized in by St John Paul II in
2000, was a survivor of human trafficking.
St. Josephine Bakhita was born in
southern Sudan in 1869. As a
young girl, she was kidnapped
and sold into slavery. Sold and
resold in the markets of El Obeid
and Khartoum, she was treated
brutally by her captors. She did
not remember the name she was
given by her parents. Bakhita,
which means ―fortunate one,‖
was the name given to her by her kidnappers.
In 1883, she was bought by an Italian diplomat who
sent her to Italy to work as a maid for the daughter
of a family friend studying with the Canossian
Daughters of Charity. It was there that Bakhita came
to know about God whom ―she had experienced in
her heart without knowing‖ who God was.
In 1890, she was baptized and received the name
Josephine. Later, the Italian family came to take
their ―property‖ back to Africa. Josephine expressed
her desire to stay. When the family insisted she go,
she remained firm, later writing: ―I am sure the Lord
gave me strength at that moment.‖
With the support of the superior of the Canossian
Sisters and the Cardinal of Venice, she won her
freedom and later entered the novitiate. For the next
50 years she lived a life of prayer and service as a
Canossian Sister before her death in 1947.
Pope Francis has declared her feast day,
8th February, to be the International Day of
Prayer, Reflection and Action
against Human Trafficking.

Thanks be to God
GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia!
He bore our sickness, and endured our sufferings. Alleluia!
GOSPEL:
Mark 1:29-39
On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went with James and
John straight to the house of Simon and Andrew. Now
Simon‟s mother-in-law had gone to bed with fever, and
they told him about her straight away. He went to her,
took her by the hand, and helped her up. And the fever left her and she began
to wait on them.
That evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were sick and those
who were possessed by devils. The whole town came crowding round the
door, and he cured many who were suffering from diseases of one kind or
another, he also cast out many devils, but he would not allow them to speak,
because they know who he was.
In the morning, long before dawn, he got up and left the house, and went off to
a lonely place and prayed there. Simon and his companions set out in search
of him and when they found him they said, „Everybody is looking for you.‟ He
answered, „Let us go elsewhere, to the neighboring country towns, so that I can
preach there too, because that is why I came.‟ And he went all through Galilee,
preaching in their synagogues and casting out devils.
The Gospel of the Lord.
R/.
Praise to Your, Lord Jesus Christ.
COMMUNION ANTIPHON (if no song):
Let them thank the Lord for his mercy, his wonders for the children of men,
for he satisfies the thirsty soul and the hungry he fills with good things.

Save us, O Lord our God!
And gather us from the nations,
to give thanks to your holy name
and make it our glory to praise you.
FIRST READING:
Deuteronomy 18:15-20
„Moses said to the people: „Your God will raise up for
you a prophet like myself, from among yourselves,
from your own brothers; to him you must listen. This
is what you yourselves asked of the Lord your God at
Horeb on the day of the Assembly. “Do not let me
hear again” you said “the voice of the Lord my God,
nor look any longer on this great fire, or I shall die”;
and the Lord said to me, “ All they have spoken is
well said. I will raise up a prophet like yourself for
them from their own brothers; I will put my words into
his mouth and he shall tell them all I command him.
The man who does not listen to my
words that he speaks in my name,
shall be held answerable to me for
it. But the prophet who presumes
to say in my name a thing I have
not commanded him to say, or
who speaks in the name of other
gods, that prophet shall die.‟
The Word of the Lord.

(OOCC,X, pp. 577-578; STA, 150)
but a married man has to bother about the world‟s
affairs and devote himself to pleasing his wife: he is torn two ways. In the same way an
unmarried woman, like a young girl, can devote herself to the Lord‟s affairs; all she
need worry about is being holy in body and spirit. The married woman, on the other
hand, has to worry about the world‟s affairs and devote herself to pleasing her
husband. I say this only to help you, not to put a halter round your necks, but simply to
make sure that everything is as it should be, and that you give your undivided attention

GOSPEL:
Mark 1:12-28
Jesus and his followers went as far as Capernaum, and as soon as the Sabbath came
Jesus went to the synagogue and began to teach. And his teaching made a deep
impression on them because, unlike the scribes, he taught them with authority.
In their synagogue just then there was man possessed by an unclean spirit, and it
shouted, ‟What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy
us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.‟ But Jesus said sharply, ‟Be quite!
Come out of him!‟ And the unclean spirit threw the man into convulsions and with a
loud cry went out of him. The people were so astonished that they started asking each
other what it all meant. ‟Here is a teaching that is new‟ they said ‟and with authority
behind it: he gives orders even to unclean spirits and they obey him‟ And his reputation
rapidly spread everywhere, through all the surrounding Galilean countryside.
The Gospel of the Lord.

FIRST READING:
Jonah 3:1-5.10
„The word of the Lord was addressed
to Jonah: „Up!‟ he said „Go to
Nineveh, the great city, and preach to
them as I told you to.‟ Jonah set out
and went to Nineveh in obedience to
the word of the Lord. Now Nineveh
was a city great beyond compare: it
took three days to cross it. Jonah
went on into the city, making a day‟s
journey. He preached in these words,
„Only forty days more and Nineveh is
going to be destroyed.‟
and the
people of Nineveh believed in God;
they proclaimed a fast and put on
sackcloth, from the greatest to the
least.
God saw their efforts to renounce their evil behavior.
And God relented: he did not inflict on them the
disaster which he had threatened.
The Word of the Lord.
R:
Thanks be to God
RESPONSORIAL PSALM:
Ps 24:4-9. R/. V 4
R/:
Teach me your ways, O Lord.
1
Lord, Make me know your ways.
Lord, teach me your paths.
Make me walk in your truth, and teach me;
for you are God my saviour. R/
2
Remember your mercy, Lord,
and the love you have shown from the old.
In your love remember me,
because of your goodness, O Lord. R/

nothing to mourn for; those who are enjoying life
should live as though there were nothing to laugh (OOCC,X, p. 48; STA, 219)

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION:
Alleluia, alleluia!

Alleluia!
GOSPEL:
Mark 1:14-20
After John had been arrested, Jesus went into Galilee.
There he proclaimed the Good News from God. „The
time has come‟ he said „ and the kingdom of God is close
at hand. Repent, and believe the Good News.‟
As he was walking along by the Sea of Galilee he saw
Simon and his brother Andrew casting a net in the lake—
for they were fishermen. And Jesus said to them, „Follow
me and I will make you into fishers of men.‟ And at once
they left their nets and followed him.
Going on a little further, he saw James son of Zebedee and his brother John;
they too were in their boat, mending their nets. He called them at once and,
leaving their father Zebedee in the boat with the men he employed, they went
after him.

Praise to Your, Lord Jesus Christ.

FIRST READING: Samuel 3:3-10.19
Samuel was lying in the
sanctuary of the Lord where the
ark of God was, when the Lord
called, „Samuel! Samuel!‟ He
answered, „Here I am.‟ Then he
ran to Eli and said, ‟Here I am,
since you called me.‟ Eli said, „I
did not call. God back and lie
down.‟ So he went and lay
down.
Once again the Lord called, „Samuel!
Samuel!‟ Samuel got up and went to Eli and said,
„Here I am, since you called me.‟ He replied, „I did not
call you, my son, go back and lie down.‟ Samuel had
as yet no knowledge of the Lord and the word of the
Lord had not yet been revealed to him. Once again
the Lord called, the third time. He got up and went to
Eli and said, „Here I am, since you called me.‟ Eli
then understood that it was the Lord who was calling
the boy, and he said to Samuel, „Go and lie down,
and if someone called say, “Speak, Lord, your
servant is listening.”‟ So Samuel went and lay down
in his place. The Lord then came and stood by,
calling as he had done before, „Samuel! Samuel!‟
Samuel answered, „Speak, Lord, your servant is
listening.‟ Samuel grew up and the Lord was with him
and let no word of his fall to the ground.
The Word of the Lord.
R:
Thanks be to God
RESPONSORIAL PSALM:

and he stooped down to me; he heard my cry.

Reflections of

What would my works be,
if they were not raised
and ennobled
by the grace of God …
Nothing, nothing at all! …
Having thrown myself
entirely on Divine Providence,
I am certain [that] my works
and smallest thoughts …
shall receive …
great nobility and excellence.
The body is not meant for fornication; it is for the
(OOCC,X, p.80; STA, 76)
Lord, and the Lord for the body. God who raised the
Lord from the dead, will by his power raise us up too. You know, surely, that your
bodies are members making up the body of Christ; anyone who is joined to the Lord is
one spirit with him Keep away from fornication. All the other sins are committed
outside the body; but to fornicated is to sin against your own body. Your body, you
know, is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you since you received him from God.
You are not your own property; you have been bought and paid for. That is why you
should use your body for the glory of God.
The Word of the Lord.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION: Alleluia, alleluia!
We have found the Messiah: Jesus Christ, who bring us truth and grace. Alleluia!
GOSPEL:
John 1:35-42
As John stood with two of his disciples, Jesus passed, and John
stared hard at him and said, „Look, there is the lamb of God.‟
Hearing this, the two disciples followed Jesus. Jesus turn
round, saw them following and said, „What do you want?‟ They
answered, „Rabbi,‟ - which means Teacher — „where do you
live?‟ „Come and see‟ he replied; so they went and say where
he lived, and stayed with him the rest of that day. It was about
the tenth hour. Once of these two who became followers of
Jesus after hearing what John had said was Andrew, the
brother of Simon Peter. Early next morning, Andrew met his brother and said to him,
„We have found the Messiah‟ - which means the Christ „ and he took Simon to Jesus.
Jesus looked hard at him and said, „You are Simon son of John; you are to be called
Cephas‟ - meaning Rock.
The Gospel of the Lord.
R:
Praise to Your, Lord Jesus Christ.
