February 7, 2021: 5th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Because of the downfall that came into the world with sin, including sickness, Job's description of life pretty well fits our lives at times.

So it is such Good News that God has entered our world in Jesus, bringing healing when it was not even thought possible.  No wonder after healing Simon's mother-in-law, people flock to Jesus for healing.

These healings are a sign of a greater work Jesus does by healing our souls so we can be brought back into right relationship with God.

We are furthermore called to preach the Gospel, and share the power of the healing God brings to our world.  St. Paul wrote about being compelled to give of himself in service to others by preaching the Gospel.  We do it not for gain, but because we are compelled by the power of God Who has worked in us so amazingly, so that others can know the hope in which we have been saved.
