February 5, 2024 — Monday, Fifth Week in Ordinary Time — Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and cured every disease among the people — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark (Mk 6: 53-56)

After making the crossing to the other side of the sea,
Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret
and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.
They scurried about the surrounding country
and began to bring in the sick on mats
to wherever they heard he was.
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces
and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak;
and as many as touched it were healed.
