1ST READING (JOB 7:1-4, 6-7)
Job describes the misery of the human condition when he laments that his life is
filled with "drudgery"-he feels trapped ("is a slave") and is "without hope." This
also describes the condition of the people who came to Jesus for healing. Jesus
overturns the human condition, bringing hope and healing-then and now.
A sick child instinctively seeks the touch of a loving parent; he or she wants the
parent to sit by the bed, to be near. Even as adults, when we are ill or down-and-out, we seek
comfort from a trusted and caring other who grasps our hand: As the gospel illustrates, in times of
trouble we need the personal touch and presence of another.
2ND READING (1 CORINTHIANS 9:16-19, 22-23)
Paul has been criticized by his opponents for not letting his converts pay him for his
preaching. They accuse him of lack of confidence in his authority as an apostle. Paul agrees
that he has a perfect right to ask for payment. But there were special reasons for his not
doing so in Corinth. It was part of his becoming all things to all people in order that he might
by all means save some.
GOSPEL (MARK 1:29-39)
Jesus' healing of Peter's mother-in-law was very personal: he approached her, grasped her
hand, and helped her up. Further, in reaching out to "the whole of Galilee" Jesus responds to
the universal human condition of misery and hopelessness. But he always does so in a very
personal way. The ministry of Jesus is truly about all humanity's experiencing the
transformation of human hopelessness through personal encounter with Jesus.
