WEDNESDAY, 2ND WEEK OF ORDINARY TIME Memorial of St. Agnes, Virgin and Martyr, 21 January 2015 Gospel MK 3:1-6 Jesus entered the synagogue.There was a man there who had a withered hand. They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him. He said to the man with the withered hand, Come up here before us.” Then he said to the Pharisees, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” But they remained silent. Looking around at them with anger and grieved at their hardness of heart, Jesus said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” He stretched it out and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately took counsel with the Herodians against him to put him to death. ------- Dear Jesus, thank you for being a perfect model of righteousness. Help us to go beyond our peripheries to reach out to the sick, the poor, the outcast and the marginalized in society. Give us your compassionate, merciful and loving heart. Amen. ------- We also pray for the Eternal repose of all the souls of the faithful departed, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.
