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. ShareThis Blogs com...

First Reading (Hebrew 1:1-6) Responsorial Psalm (Ps 97:1 and 2b, 6 and 7c, 9) Gospel (Mk 1:14-20) Jesus has chosen Simon, Andrew, James and John to be his followers, to be fishers of men. The message of salvation that Jesus brought in this world as the incarnate word must be announced to all corners of the world. Jesus wants that his disciples to have a full grasp of this message by giving them a chance to see and experience this salvation as they lived with him. These people will constitutes some of the so called twelve apostles. Those who accompany Jesus in his everyday life during his ministerial days until his resurrection. Not all of us can be come clerics or nuns. however, we must understand that surely God has called us to follow Jesus in whatever vocation that we are living. What matter most is the willingness to follow Jesus even if it entail living someone or something behind for the greater of God. ShareThis Blogs commenting Fr. Jessie's post
