The faith expressed by the woman in the Gospel today was simple and direct…and because of this her child was healed. May her example inspire us to take the gift of faith we have been given and engage our lives with the power and insight of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel of Mark reveals the power of the healing ministry of Jesus. From the beginning the Church has continued this work; may our lives today be open to this ministry as we seek to be instruments of the Lord’s healing touch.

Mass Readings – Wednesday of the 1st Week of the Year
We see in the Lord’s ministry examples of healing, preaching, and driving out demons…and we look at the ways that we can continue the Lord’s work to bring life and hope to those in need.

Mass Readings – Saturday of the 1st Week of Advent (St. Francis Xavier)
As Jesus looked with pity on the people in their need, he not only served them but he empowered and directed his disciples to do the same. As we look to the Lord for guidance and strength we also remember the command to love and serve those entrusted to our care.
