5th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Feb. 5, 2012
Fr. Anthony Brankin
Gospel: Mark 1:29-39 Healing of Simon’s mother-in-law
Sermon summary: The reading from the book of Job shows us how much suffering Job went through. And the suffering was the kind that simply happens to all of us. And yet Christ showed us an example of helping others in situations like this. He went out to all the villages, for this was His purpose.
This is why we give to Cardinal George’s Annual Appeal. This is a means of helping others through the Church. Giving as Christ himself did.
