For 23 January 2008, Wednesday of 2nd week, based on Mark 3:1-6
Again Jesus entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, “Come forward.†Then he said to them, “Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?†But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.†He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

Dear father and sister
I listen to this reflection everyday: it helps me in my spiritual growth as a priest. What touches me I share it in my daily mass with the people. So you are doing a wonderful ministry, and my prayers are for you always
