For 22 January 2026, Thursday of week 2 in Ordinary Time, based on Mark 3:7-12
Jesus departed with his disciples to the lake, 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. Sister. Your reflection made me think, don’t we too sometimes say something or act in a way that surprises us and then recognize it was the Spirit deep within that led us to say or do this. How much more connected with the Spirit of God was Jesus!
