For 23 January 2020, Thursday of week 2 in Ordinary Time, based on Mark 3:7-12
 Jesus departed with his disciples to the sea, and a great multitude from Galilee followed him; hearing all that he was doing, they came to him in great numbers from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, beyond the Jordan, and the region around Tyre and Sidon. He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush him; for he had cured many, so that all who had diseases pressed upon him to touch him. Whenever the unclean spirits saw him, they fell down before him and shouted, “You are the Son of God!†But he sternly ordered them not to make him known.

‘Thank you, Sr. Barbara, for your challenging questions from today’s gospel. You made me think of why people come to me and why I go to people as well. Also thought of Jesus and found comfort that sometimes I, too, need quiet and rest.
Blessings on you and your preaching,
Sr. Brigid
