"Seek the Light, Be the Light"
Spiritual Reflections
|
|
By Scott Root, Campus Minister
Gospel for Sunday, February 4, 2018--The Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time
On leaving the synagogue 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. When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him. Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, "Everyone is looking for you." He told them, "Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come." So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee. – Mark 1:29-39
Reflection
In today’s gospel, Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in- law, and she immediately gets up and waits on them. In the face of a great blessing, her response was one of service. Each day we witness blessings in our own lives. The fact that God gives us a new day each morning is a blessing in and of itself. How do we respond to these blessings? Do we use these blessings as opportunities to love God and serve our brothers and sisters? Are we selfish with our time, talent, or treasure? At the end of the Gospel, Jesus goes to the nearby villages to preach the Good News. We are called to proclaim the Good News to all we encounter by offering witness to the blessing of God’s love in our lives.
