THE GOSPEL

Mark 1:29-39

He approached her, grasped her hand, and helped her up.

Lord,

    whole towns flocked to you, with
 demons and sickness,
to be healed.

In
 our day
 we, as well,
 come to find you.

O Lord: heal us too.
We are plagued with unrest,
our climate is in crisis, jobs are gone,
 and of course, the virus is upon the world.

Take our hand.
 Help us up.

Let us take
 your good news to
all of our sisters and brothers

everywhere.


THE FIRST READING

Job 7:1-4, 6-7

My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle.

Months of misery,
endless nights
endless
days;

restless
hearts.
 
Oh yes
our world suffers.

Jesus, Jesus, we welcome you.


THE SECOND READING
1 Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23

I have become all things to all, to save at least some.

Could we use our weakness
 to speak to the weak,
­­ to be all things
to all
 persons?

Let your grace flow freely
through us, into
others.
