Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Tme
Mark 1:29-39Today’s gospel speaks of the work of Jesus as he begins his ministry. The gospel begns with the healing of Peter’s mother-in-law. Later in the day, the home is surrounded with others (”the whole town”) needing healing from various sources. Jesus heals silences demons. After this he rested and rose early to pray. Prayer regenerates Him. It should regenerate us as well. We need to follow the example of Jesus and keep our relationship with God the Father open and strong.
