A Closer Look at Today’s Gospel…
Today we continue to read from
Mark's Gospel, learning more
about the ministry of Jesus. Jesus
cured Simon's mother-in-law, and
she immediately began to serve
Jesus and his disciples. Jesus
also cured many others who were
brought to him, healing their illnesses and driving out demons.
As we will see throughout Mark's
Gospel, Jesus did not permit the
demons to speak because they
knew his identity and would have
revealed it to those who were present.
On the morning after this busy day, Jesus retreated in prayer,
but was pursued by Simon and others who brought news that
many people were looking for him. At this point in Mark's
Gospel, we begin to see a distinct role for the inner circle of
Jesus' disciples—they act as intermediaries between Jesus
and the people. Jesus reports to his disciples that they need to
leave Capernaum to preach in other places.
Today's Gospel completes a picture of Jesus' ministry:
preaching, curing the sick, driving out demons, and then
moving on to continue this work in another place. Mark's
Gospel tells us that Jesus did this throughout Galilee.
Jesus' compassion and healing of the sick is a sign of the
Kingdom of God. The Church continues to extend Christ's
healing presence to others in its ministry to the sick. In the
Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, the Church prays for
spiritual and physical healing, forgiveness of sins, and comfort
for those who are suffering from illness.
In today's Gospel we also notice the importance of prayer in
Jesus' daily life. Jesus rose early in the morning, removed
himself from the crowds, and went to a deserted place to pray.
When the disciples found him, he told them that it was time to
move on. We believe that in his prayers Jesus found guidance
and direction from God. We also bring our decision-making to
God in prayer, asking for his guidance and direction in our
lives.

GOD has created me to do him some
definite service. He has committed some
work to me which he has not committed to
another. I have a mission...I am a link in a
chain, a band of connection between
persons. He has not created me for nothing.
I shall do good. I shall do his work. If I am
in sickness, may my sickness serve him; in
perplexity, may my perplexity serve him; if I am in sorrow,
may my sorrow serve him. He does nothing in vain, He knows
what he is about. Amen.
—Blessed John Henry Newman

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Salvation, not healing or teaching, is
Christ’s greatest gift
In his homily at a daily Mass at
the Vatican on January 22nd,
Pope Francis reminded the
congregation that although
Jesus can bring relief to those
who suffer, the most important
reality is that Jesus brings
salvation from sin.
Commenting on the Gospel reading, which told of
the crowds flocking to Jesus, the Pope observed
that many people were looking for miracles, while
others were hoping to hear a great teacher. Pope
Francis said: What, though, is most important?
That Jesus heals? No, that is not the most important thing. That He teaches us? That is not the most
important thing either. It is that He saves! He is the
Savior and we are saved by him: this is the most
important thing, and this is the strength of our
faith.

Making Time
for Prayer
How often have we
heard or said these
words: “I wish I had
time to pray.” In today’s
Gospel, we see a typical day in the life of Jesus: hard
work and prayer. In his work, he healed Peter’s
mother-in-law and the many ill people who were
brought to him. He preached the Good News. He
went off to a lonely place to pray and, through prayer,
to renew himself. The apostles sought him out and
asked him to return quickly to the village where the
people needed him. Like Jesus, we fill our lives with
doing and praying. Like Jesus, we will be asked to
respond to the needs of others.
Jesus felt the need for prayer in his life. We, too, need
quiet moments to remember who we are, why we are.
We need to set aside time—time to turn to God and to
seek God’s presence, time to renew and grow in our
friendship with God.
Prayer is talking with God, listening to God. Prayer
can be formal, like saying the Our Father or the
Apostles’ Creed; it can be informal, speaking with
God in our own words. Prayer can take the form of
asking, thanking, praising, saying we are sorry. We
can pray together or we can pray alone. Even our
work can be a form of prayer.
Just like you make plans for other activities in your
day, planning good times for prayer will help you be
successful. When is the best time for you to pray?
What is the best place? In what ways can you pray
while you are at work or school? How do you pray
when you are alone? What is your favorite prayer?
—Celebrating the Gospels
Who May Preach
With rare exception, for example, at
Masses with children, current liturgical
law limits preaching homilies during the
Eucharistic celebration to ordained
ministers. This being said, it doesn't
mean that all baptized Christians aren’t called to preach the
Gospel. In fact, we are, by the very way we live. And sometimes the preaching by the actions of our lives is far more
eloquent and fruitful than words. And far more challenging.
And far more rewarding.

Para la revisión de vida
¿Qué estaría viviendo Job
que lo hizo decir las palabras que escuchamos el
día de hoy?
¿Me acerco a las personas
valorándolas como personas o juzgo y rechazo a quienes son diferentes
que yo?
¿Cómo me afectan los momentos duros de mi
vida, los momentos de depresión, cuando el
tiempo se hace largo y todo esta en contra?
¿En qué gestos concretos me hago cercano/a a
los hermanos que sufren o que están marginados cerca de mi?
