I MUST PROCLAIM THE GOOD NEWS OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD
Altar Server Prayer Before Mass: Oh Jesus, my King and Lord, by the grace of the heavenly Father and the power of the Holy Spirit, guide me as I serve you today at the Altar so I may always worthy of Your presence.
If I happen to make an error, may it be a lesson so my service will be perfect tomorrow. Jesus, I love you with all my heart. Amen. Mass Readings
Brothers, I myself was unable to speak to you as people of the Spirit: I treated you as sensual men, still infants in Christ. What I fed you with was milk, not solid food, for you were not read for it; and indeed, you are still not ready for it since you are still unspiritual, Isn't that obvious from all the jealousy and wrangling that there is among you, from the way that you go on behaving like ordinary people? What could be more unspiritual than your slogans, 'I am for Paul' and 'I am for Apollos'?
After all, what is Apollos and what is Paul? They are servants who brought the faith to you. Even the different ways in which thy brought it were assigned to them by the Lord. I did the planting, Apollos did the watering, but God made things grow. Neither the planter nor the waterer matters: only God, who makes things grow. It is all one who does the planting and who does the watering and each will duly be paid according to his share in the work. We are fellow workers with God; you are God's farm, God's building.
Leaving the synagogue, Jesus went to Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever and they asked him to do something for her. Leaning over her he rebuked the fever and it left her. And she immediately got up and began to wait on them.
At sunset all those who had friends suffering from diseases of one kind or another brought them to him, and laying his hands on each he cured them. Devils too came out of many people, howling, 'You are the Son of God' But he rebuked them and would not allow them to speak because they knew he was the Christ.
When daylight came he left the house and made his way to a lonely place. The crowds went to look for him, and when they had caught up with him they wanted to prevent him leaving them, but he answered, 'I must proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom of God to the other towns too, because this is what I was sent to do.' And he continued his preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
Lord Jesus Christ my Lord and Master, you must have spent all night healing and delivering people from all sickness and diseases since it was at sunset all those that had friends suffering from diseases brought them to you. You were patient, you were gentle, you were compassionate and loving. Dear Lord help me to have compassion towards all creatures. Make my heart like yours my Lord. H.G.
