hillings he is a slave who longs for the shade a highly who waits for his wages so i have been assigned months of misery and troubled nights have been allotted to me if in bed they say when shall i arise then the night drags on i am filled with restlessness until the dawn my days are swifter than the waivers shuttle they come to to an end without the hope remember that my life is like the wind i shall not see happiness again the word of the lord praise the lord who heals the broken [Music] heart [Music] [Music] praise the lord for he is good sing praise to our god for he is gracious it is fitting to praise him the lord rebuilds jerusalem the dispersed of israel he gathers the lord he heals the brokenhearted and binds up their [Music] wounds he tells the number of the stars he calls each by name [Music] [Applause] [Music] and mighty in power [Music] to his wisdom there is no limit the lord sustains the lowly the weekend he casts to the ground [Music] praise the lord who heals the broken hearts a reading from the first letter of saint paul to the corinthians brothers and sisters if i preach the gospel this is no reason for me to boast for an obligation has been imposed on me and woe to me if i do not preach it if i do so willingly i have a recompense but if unwillingly then i have been entrusted with a stewardship what then is my recompense that when i preach i offer the gospel free of charge so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel although i am free in regard to all i have made myself a slave to all so as to win over as many as possible to the width i became weak to win over the week i have become all things to all [Music] to save at least some all this i do for the sake of the gospel so that i too may have a share in it the word of the lord [Music] [Music] uh [Music] ah [Music] the lord be with you a reading from the holy gospel according to mark 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 unfinding 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 brothers and sisters the gospel of the lord and also to our brothers and sisters who are with us over live streaming and in the different media partners in tv and in radio my dear brothers and sisters right now at this exact moment how do you consider your life how do you view your life do you consider your life as a person who is blessed or the other way around that at this very moment you are experiencing a loss or you are in deep trouble or burdened because something happened probably you have lost someone that you loved a member of the family how despite of this that we consider us as a bad thing in our life or bad experience in our life how do you still consider your life or how do you still have relationship with god or how with beyond this my dear brothers and sisters how do we cope up with this kind of experiences [Music] we share it with our family we share it with our friends or sometimes we just keep it within my dear brothers ourselves sisters the entire readings for today in this fifth sunday in ordinary time and let us begin in our first reading my dear brothers and sisters first reading is from the book of job and this is just an excerpt of how job described his life and for us to have been hearing masses we are very much familiar with the life of job and remember he was a very prosperous person but he suddenly experienced a catastrophic one inexplicable loss of wealth family and health nawala friends try to explain it all as a divine punishment for some secret sin but by your brothers and sisters jo knows better he described life first as a drudgery meaning life is monotonous life is boring he kept on repeating the words god gives and god takes away and job remains with this philosophy or mantra that's the reason that kept him going with this kind of theology that god gives and god takes away the parakanatham feeling this is a kind of a worship fool kind of words [Music] but when we look at this very particular and we for example when we experience this kind of losses my dear brothers and sisters do we think to god as someone who took this away we will conclude at the end of the day that god is cruel god is a punisher god is cruel but if you are going to look entirely on the life of job at the last part [Music] m why these things are happening to him and at the end of the day he realized but he had a wrong perception of god that god is actually good the great lessons [Music] god is good let us see the fullness of this character of god who is very overwhelmingly generous the the moment that we experience next time a deep loss understand that god is in our side god is in your sight and he can bring light into even the darkest situation remember that god is with you and that is exactly what happened in our gospel for today and mother-in-law simon peter she was sick but then who came jesus jesus our gospel gives us a perfect image of who god is [Music] now it was described here that the entire day jesus was healing he preached and then when he went home to the house of simon [Music] so to seek for healing imagine god or jesus was doing and fulfilling his ministry the entire but here god is exactly showing to us god will do everything he ended his entire in that ministry to pray to find a place to pray with your brothers and sisters and another great lesson in our readings for today is we look back in our second reading from the letter of paul to the corinthians and actually the first letter of paul to the corinthians but despite now he this particular second reading teaches us if indeed guatemala experience of losses and we think and we consider our life as blessed that let us not be boastful for him he is already blessed because he became an apostle of christ but he was not boastful and that we could link and connect our life to paul also let me bless with your brothers and sisters our readings today is giving us an inspiration a guide on how to deal with losses and how to deal with being blessed and let this be our guide as christians is and let us all stand to profess our faith i believe in one god the father almighty maker of heaven and earth of all things visible and invisible i believe in one lord jesus christ the only begotten son of god born of the father before all ages god from god light from light true god from true god begotten not made from substantial with the father through him all things were made for us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven and by the holy spirit was the incarnate of the virgin mary and became man for our sake he was crucified under he suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the scriptures he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the father he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end i believe in the holy spirit the lord the giver of life who proceeds from the father and the son who with the father and the son is adored and glorified who has spoken through the prophets i believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church i confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and i look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come amen the father has given us new life in christ jesus who came to heal to forgive and to offer
