II
1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23
III
Mark 1:29-39
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time (February 1, 2015)
“The people were spellbound by his teaching because
he taught with authority and not like the Scribes” Mark 1, 22
Listening to the authority Jesus’ teachings helps us not
to be confused by the perceived ‘wisdom’ of the world that
focuses only on self. The authority of a steward is to think of
others.
Vocation View: People were spellbound by the teachings of
Jesus. The church needs bold teachers and preachers. Consider
a vocation to priesthood or religious life. (Mark 1:21-28)
