오늘의 복음 : http://info.catholic.or.kr/missa/default.asp
제1독서
욥기. 7,1-4.6-7
욥이 말하였다.
1 “인생은 땅 위에서 고역이요 그 나날은 날품팔이의 나날과 같지 않은가?
2 그늘을 애타게 바라는 종, 삯을 고대하는 품팔이꾼과 같지 않은가?
3 그렇게 나도 허망한 달들을 물려받고 고통의 밤들을 나누어 받았네.
4 누우면 ‘언제나 일어나려나?’ 생각하지만
저녁은 깊어 가고 새벽까지 뒤척거리기만 한다네.
6 나의 나날은 베틀의 북보다 빠르게 희망도 없이 사라져 가는구려.
7 기억해 주십시오, 제 목숨이 한낱 입김일 뿐임을.
제 눈은 더 이상 행복을 보지 못할 것입니다.”
제2독서
코린토 1서. 9,16-19.22-23
형제 여러분, 16 내가 복음을 선포한다고 해서
그것이 나에게 자랑거리가 되지는 않습니다.
나로서는 어찌할 수 없는 의무이기 때문입니다.
내가 복음을 선포하지 않는다면 나는 참으로 불행할 것입니다.
17 내가 내 자유의사로 이 일을 한다면
나는 삯을 요구할 권리가 있습니다.
그러나 하는 수 없이 한다면 나에게 직무가 맡겨진 것입니다.
18 그렇다면 내가 받는 삯은 무엇입니까?
내가 복음을 선포하면서 그것에 따른 나의 권리를 행사하지 않고
복음을 거저 전하는 것입니다.
19 나는 아무에게도 매이지 않은 자유인이지만,
되도록 많은 사람을 얻으려고 스스로 모든 사람의 종이 되었습니다.
22 약한 이들을 얻으려고 약한 이들에게는 약한 사람처럼 되었습니다.
나는 어떻게 해서든지 몇 사람이라도 구원하려고,
모든 이에게 모든 것이 되었습니다.
23 나는 복음을 위하여 이 모든 일을 합니다.
나도 복음에 동참하려는 것입니다.
복음
마르코. 1,29-39
야고보와 요한과 함께 곧바로 시몬과 안드레아의 집으로 가셨다.
30 그때에 시몬의 장모가 열병으로 누워 있어서,
사람들이 곧바로 예수님께 그 부인의 사정을 이야기하였다.
31 예수님께서 그 부인에게 다가가시어 손을 잡아 일으키시니 열이 가셨다.
그러자 부인은 그들의 시중을 들었다.
32 저녁이 되고 해가 지자,
사람들이 병든 이들과 마귀 들린 이들을 모두 예수님께 데려왔다.
33 온 고을 사람들이 문 앞에 모여들었다.
34 예수님께서는 갖가지 질병을 앓는 많은 사람을 고쳐 주시고
많은 마귀를 쫓아내셨다.
그러면서 마귀들이 말하는 것을 허락하지 않으셨다.
그들이 당신을 알고 있었기 때문이다.
35 다음 날 새벽 아직 캄캄할 때,
예수님께서는 일어나 외딴곳으로 나가시어 그곳에서 기도하셨다.
36 시몬과 그 일행이 예수님을 찾아 나섰다가
37 그분을 만나자, “모두 스승님을 찾고 있습니다.” 하고 말하였다.
38 예수님께서 그들에게 말씀하셨다.
“다른 이웃 고을들을 찾아가자.
그곳에도 내가 복음을 선포해야 한다.
사실 나는 그 일을 하려고 떠나온 것이다.”
39 그러고 나서 예수님께서는 온 갈릴래아를 다니시며,
회당에서 복음을 선포하시고 마귀들을 쫓아내셨다.

Reading 1
Jb 7:1-4, 6-7
Is not man's life on earth a drudgery?
Are not his days those of hirelings?
He is a slave who longs for the shade,
a hireling who waits for his wages.
So I have been assigned months of misery,
and troubled nights have been allotted to me.
If in bed I say, "When shall I arise?"
then the night drags on;
I am filled with restlessness until the dawn.
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle;
they come to an end without hope.
Remember that my life is like the wind;
I shall not see happiness again.

Reading 2
1 Cor 9:16-19, 22-23
If I preach the gospel, this is no reason for me to boast,
for an obligation has been imposed on me,
and woe to me if I do not preach it!
If I do so willingly, I have a recompense,
but if unwillingly, then I have been entrusted with a stewardship.
What then is my recompense?
That, when I preach,
I offer the gospel free of charge
so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.
Although I am free in regard to all,
I have made myself a slave to all
so as to win over as many as possible.
To the weak I became weak, to win over the weak.
I have become all things to all, to save at least some.
All this I do for the sake of the gospel,
so that I too may have a share in it.
Gospel
Mk 1:29-39
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

My life is like the wind; I shall not see happiness again.
Book of Job
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 147
Four hundred lights suddenly illuminated the Lincoln Reflecting Pool as the sun set over our national monuments in Washington D.C. the night before the presidential inauguration, in the United States.
The haunting voice of a young nurse rang out, breaking the solemn silence. “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me,” she sang as she had in her Michigan hospital to comfort dying Covid patients separated from their families.
I broke into tears. Like everyone I know.
For the past year, we have been living the Book of Job. “My life is like the wind; I shall not see happiness again.” No one is unscathed. I thought especially of the husband of my dear friend Jane who died a couple of weeks ago. He spent the summer in agony because her nursing home banned visitors due to Covid. We’re all mourning someone.
However, as people of faith, we believe that despair isn’t the last word. “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds,” says Psalm 147, which immediately follows Job in the Mass readings.
I’m no Pollyanna but I believe in the resurrection. I do NOT believe that a loving God inflicts suffering on the innocent for some cosmic reason. That would be cruel. However, since suffering is inevitable, we can learn lessons about empathy and resilience from it.
As a young reporter, I wrote a lot of stories about tragedies – it goes with the territory. And I wrote still more stories about people who had emerged from their own tragedies determined to give their horrors meaning by doing something good for others.
Given the choice, they would never have been sexually assaulted, lost a child, been paralyzed or had to flee their homeland. But they refused to believe that they would “not see happiness again.” Instead, they became God’s instruments for healing other brokenhearted people.
These were people of empathy more than compassion who did not sugar coat their own losses or those of others. Their empathy was hard won because they had, unfortunately, lived the Book of Job. But through faith and the “amazing grace” of which the young nurse sang, they managed to rise from the ashes.
And we can too. May God heal our brokenness.

URBAN DEVELOPER
“After sunset, as evening drew on, they brought Him all who were ill, and those possessed by demons. Before long the whole town was gathered outside the door.” —Mark 1:32-33
Job faced reality head on and declared: “Life on earth” is “a drudgery” (Jb 7:1). He described life as being “assigned months of misery” (Jb 7:3). Nights are long; days are short (Jb 7:4, 6) and, when we reach the end of them, we are without hope (Jb 7:6).
The only Answer to the drudgery of human existence is Jesus. Jesus is the only Hope for humanity, but the only Hope we need. Jesus walks into the typical town filled with suffering, sick, and even demon-possessed people. He both announces the Good News and creates it. He begins by healing a woman with a fever, and before long He’s healed many sick people and driven out countless demons (Mk 1:31-34). It is Good News when Jesus comes to town. He turns a miserable little village into a paradise of health, happiness, and true freedom.
In transforming the village of Simon and Andrew, Jesus began by grasping the hand of Simon’s mother-in-law. A new life and a new town begins with someone putting a hand in Jesus’ hand. This is not just a handshake; it is expressing a total commitment to Jesus. We let go of everything we are holding on to for meaning and hope in life, and we hold on to Jesus, and only Jesus, for dear life. Then the Good News for ourselves and our town begins.
Prayer: Father, may I “move on to the neighboring villages so that I may proclaim the good news there also” (Mk 1:38).
Promise: “I do all that I do for the sake of the gospel in the hope of having a share in its blessings.” —1 Cor 9:23
Praise: “To the One seated on the throne, and to the Lamb, be praise and honor, glory and might, forever and ever!” (Rv 5:13)

Who do you take your troubles to? Jesus' disciples freely brought their troubles to him because they found him ready and able to deal with any difficulty, affliction, or sickness which they encountered. When Simon brought Jesus to his home, his mother-in-law was instantly healed because Jesus heard Simon's prayer. Jerome, an early church bible scholar and translator (c. 347-420), reflects on this passage:
"Can you imagine Jesus standing before your bed and you continue sleeping? It is absurd that you would remain in bed in his presence. Where is Jesus? He is already here offering himself to us. 'In the middle,' he says, 'among you he stands, whom you do not recognize' (Cf. John 1:26) 'The kingdom of God is in your midst' (Mark 1:15). Faith beholds Jesus among us. If we are unable to seize his hand, let us prostrate ourselves at his feet. If we are unable to reach his head, let us wash his feet with our tears. Our repentance is the perfume of the Savior. See how costly is the compassion of the Savior."
Do you allow Jesus to be the Lord and healer in your personal life, family, and community? Approach the Lord with expectant faith. God's healing power restores us not only to health but to active service and care of others. There is no trouble he does not want to help us with and there is no bondage he can't set us free from. Do you take your troubles to him with expectant faith that he will help you?
Lord Jesus Christ, you have all power to heal and to deliver from harm. There is no trouble nor bondage you cannot overcome. Set me free to serve you joyfully and to love and serve others generously. May nothing hinder me from giving myself wholly to you and to your service.
Psalm 147:1-6
1 Praise the LORD! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is seemly.
2 The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel.
3 He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds.
4 He determines the number of the stars, he gives to all of them their names.
5 Great is our LORD, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure.
6 The LORD lifts up the downtrodden, he casts the wicked to the ground.
Daily Quote from the Early Church Fathers: The habit of prayer, by Origen of Alexandria (185-254 AD)
"Jesus prayed and did not pray in vain, since he received what he asked for in prayer when he might have done so without prayer. If so, who among us would neglect to pray? Mark says that 'in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed' (Mark 1:35). And Luke says, 'He was praying in a certain place, and when he ceased, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray,"' (Luke 11:1) and elsewhere, 'And all night he continued in prayer to God' (Luke 6:12). And John records his prayer, saying, 'When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you"' (John 17:1). The same Evangelist writes that the Lord said that he knew 'you hear me always' (John 11:42). All this shows that the one who prays always is always heard." (excerpt from ON PRAYER 13.1)
