A Short reflection for 5th Sunday Year B. Job 7:1-4, 6-7; 1Cor 9:16-19, 22-23; Mk 1:29-39.

Theme: The closer we get to Jesus, the easier our hopelessness is addressed. 

The worst thing that can happen to us is suffering without hope. It means one is stocked in unpleasant situation without hope of getting out. Job today make a reflection of his suffering. He made a picture of his sad existence but returned to God by asking him to take to account his ordeal. Dearest, who do you turn to in various form of suffeing that befalls you?  Jesus healed simon Peter's mother in-law in their house.  When Jesus sees us in the dark, he come to give us light, healing and strength.  Wether we go to Jesus, or he comes to us, what matters is finally our hopelessness would be addressed. The people started bringing others who were sick, oh it means hope at last.

Prayer: May God direct us so that we will turn to him in our moment of hopelessness. Amen.

Happy Sunday to you!
