제1독서
히브리서.2,14-18
4 자녀들이 피와 살을 나누었듯이,
예수님께서도 그들과 함께 피와 살을 나누어 가지셨습니다.
그것은 죽음의 권능을 쥐고 있는 자
곧 악마를 당신의 죽음으로 파멸시키시고,
15 죽음의 공포 때문에 한평생 종살이에 얽매여 있는 이들을
풀어 주시려는 것이었습니다.
16 그분께서는 분명 천사들을 보살펴 주시는 것이 아니라,
아브라함의 후손들을 보살펴 주십니다.
17 그렇기 때문에 그분께서는 모든 점에서 형제들과 같아지셔야 했습니다.
자비로울 뿐만 아니라 하느님을 섬기는 일에 충실한 대사제가 되시어,
백성의 죄를 속죄하시려는 것이었습니다.
18 그분께서는 고난을 겪으시면서 유혹을 받으셨기 때문에,
유혹을 받는 이들을 도와주실 수가 있습니다.
복음
마르코.1,29-39
그 무렵 예수님께서 29 회당에서 나오시어,
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
Since the children share in blood and Flesh,
Jesus likewise shared in them,
that through death he might destroy the one
who has the power of death, that is, the Devil,
and free those who through fear of death
had been subject to slavery all their life.
Surely he did not help angels
but rather the descendants of Abraham;
therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters in every way,
that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest before God
to expiate the sins of the people.
Because he himself was tested through what he suffered,
he is able to help those who are being tested.

which he made binding for a thousand generationsB
Which he entered into with Abraham
and by his oath to Isaac.
R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.
or:
R. Alleluia.
Gospel
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.

Because he himself was tested through what he suffered,
he is able to help those who are being tested. - Hebrews 2
So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons
throughout the whole of Galilee. - Mark 1
In this first week of Ordinary Time during which we will follow the story of the good news, as proclaimed by Mark, we have an up-close picture of Jesus at the beginning of his ministry. After overcoming the tempting of the desert, he goes to the synagogue and begins preaching and driving out demons. There are people who have inner spirits resistant to God. They are tortured by their lack of peace. Mark will tell us over and over, that it is these demons who, though opposed to Jesus, really know and acknowledge who he is. Jesus' ministry, from the beginning is a healing ministry, one of freeing from whatever stands in the way of grace.
He's just call the first followers, and Peter and Andrew invite him to their house. Jesus goes with them and they introduce him to Peter's wife's mother. She's sick and has a fever. Without hesitation, Jesus' heart goes out to here and frees her. In a powerful first symbol of what Jesus' healing does for us, the woman gets up and serves them a meal. Freedom empowers us to serve. Jesus' healing is all about unbinding us so that we can love others. His healing dissolves the resistance which whatever we are struggling with creates.
Jesus moves on to do the same ministry "throughout the whole of Galilee." While the religious leaders will want to argue with him and challenge him, people in need keep coming to him.
It's a great day to let Jesus visit our house. No matter what "resistance" we might have, he is ready to touch and heal. However we are not free to love selflessly, he is here for us to unbind us, heal past wounds, and let us experience his unconditional love.
The Letter to the Hebrews was written to a discouraged community that had been through a lot. We will hear them being reassured that Jesus understands. Today's passage is so consoling. He is able to help us who are "being tested," because "he himself was tested through what he suffered."
In whatever way we are being tested today, let us turn to the one who understands and is here for us, to relieve our struggle and offer us his liberating love. And, the more we let him love us and heal us, the more we will be able to stand up in service for and with others. It's what we long for. It is what he longs for. When our longing matches the longing Jesus has for us, then grace happens and love is set free.

GIVE HIM THE KEY TO THE CITY
“Before long the whole town was gathered outside the door.” —Mark 1:33
Capernaum was like most towns. Many of its people “through fear of death had been slaves their whole life long” (Heb 2:15). Of course, there were many “who were variously afflicted” (Mk 1:34), including Simon’s mother-in-law who “lay ill with a fever” (Mk 1:30). Also, demons had oppressed the people of Capernaum for as long as anyone could remember (see Mk 1:34).
However, this day was going to be different. Jesus came to town and demons, sickness, and fear left town. This was the best day in Capernaum’s history.
Jesus got up very early the next morning. His Father told Him not to stay at Capernaum but to “move on to the neighboring villages” and “proclaim the good news there also” (Mk 1:38).
Jesus is willing to come to your town. Will you give Him the “key to the city” and the key to your heart? Let Jesus be Lord of your town and your life.
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I will let You have Your way.
Promise: “Rising early the next morning, He went off to a lonely place in the desert; there He was absorbed in prayer.” —Mk 1:35
Praise: “Rising early the next morning, He went off to a lonely place in the desert; there He was absorbed in prayer.” —Mk 1:35

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 40:1-2,4,6-9
1 I waited patiently for the LORD; he inclined to me and heard my cry.
2 He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
4 Blessed is the man who makes the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods!
6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire; but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.
7 Then I said, "Behold, I come; in the roll of the book it is written of me;
8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."
9 I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; behold, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O LORD.
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)
