5th Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B 8 Feb 2009

Click here to down load and listen to this Homily (20 minutes) given by Fr. Thomas Weise at the 5:30 pm Mass.  Jesus heals Peter's mother-in-law and she immediately fixes dinner.  When we are sick we long to get back to work, so that when we are healed we do get busy.  After sunset the whole town shoes up at the door wanting to be healed and set free.  In the morning after prayer Jesus heads out to other towns to share the good news.  The good news is that when we come forward for the Eucharist we a touched by God and set free of sin and healed of our infirmities. 

Who will you invite to come to Mass with you this week?
