You are compassionate as You are loving my Lord Jesus for through our intercession You have healed many that have been brought to Your attention. You allow us to participate in a small way and we are grateful to be able to witness Your Love and Glory.
True healing and salvation comes from Your Word O God and we praise and thank You for Your Word made flesh; Your Son our Lord Jesus, He is all we need in this life and the next.
Jesus in His lifetime always made time to come to You in prayer Abba Father, by His example let me do the same. And through my quiet time with You, let me be renewed and strengthened; With and by Your Grace, may I bring the knowledge and hope of salvation of Your Son Jesus to all I meet. As I cry out to You daily ,”Here I am Lord! I’ve come to do Your Will.” Amen.

GOSPEL
Mark 1:29–39
On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon’s mother–in–law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her and she waited on them.
When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him.
Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, “Everyone is looking for you.” He told them, “Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come.” So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.
