A Busy Day in the Life of Jesus
That's the end of this homily.
Can Jesus help you find balance in your daily life? In this Gospel Jesus gives us a prescription for daily life: He performs exorcisms, then healings, and then before moving on he takes time to pray. In Fr. Michael's words, "He finds balance in his ministry." Read the homily transcript: https://htoh.us/fr-michael/video-homily/a-bus…
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.
