FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

 FIRST READING:

Job 7:1-4, 6-7

     In this passage, Job laments the drudgery and pain all people sometimes

experience in life. He talks of troubled days and restless nights.  But he does

mention that the days move along swiftly, which can remind us that our time

here on earth is quite limited and should be well spent. 

 

SECOND READING:

l Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23

     Paul explains to the Corinthians that he has no choice, but must preach

the Gospel.  He tells of making himself all things to all people, in order to

save some of them.  He reminds them that he does this willingly, in the hope

of sharing in the blessings of the gospel. 

 

GOSPEL:

Mark 1:29-39

     Jesus cured Simon and Peter's mother-in-law of a fever, then others with

illnesses or demons came to see him.  He cured those who were ill, and cast

out the demons of the others.  Then he went off and prayed alone until his

followers sought him out.  Jesus and his disciples then moved on to other

villages to proclaim the good news.
