Wednesday, January 15, 2020 — First week of Ordinary time Première — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 1, 29-39 — Speak, Lord , your servant is listening. You have the words of eternal life.

One of the reasons Jesus came to earth is to teach us about the Kingdom of God. A reign of freedom, without hindrance but where one lives fully the status of a child of God. However, this does not remain only verbal teaching but followed by concrete actions: healing the sick, casting out demons... Those who had the sick, the crippled, demon-possessed, brought their loved ones before Jesus, and they were all healed. This is proof of people's faith. Faith is the great virtue that inspires people to come to Jesus to be healed.

Sin is a terrible disease. Sin is always the work of demons in our life, it hinders us and oppresses us. The sacrament of reconciliation is granted to us by the church to bring us out of this bondage slavery.

When Jesus finished a work: he heald the sick, has driven away from the unclean spirit, he isolates himself and prays. The prayer, who is a relationship with God, is also an excellent means of resourcing. The strength and authority of Jesus come from his relationship with his father. So, if we want our life is a success according to God's will, we must pray.
