Forgive me Lord for there have been times I was quick to judge others without knowing what was in their hearts or the situation they were in. Instead of trying to find out, interceding through prayers or offering comfort depending on the situation.
Many times falling into sin, I had need of cleansing and You O Lord Jesus through the sacrament of reconciliation healed and made me whole. Merciful and loving God, give me the grace, courage and strength to overcome temptations so that I may no longer offend You by my sins. Help me to lead a fruitful and holy life. Amen

GOSPEL
Mark 1:21–28
Jesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
