Thursday Week 4, Term 2

Let us pray that we will remember to ask God for help in times of need.

God of healing, you fill our hearts with faith.

Hear our prayers when we cry out to you, and give us health in mind and body.

Through Christ our Lord, Amen.

Scripture Reading

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to Mark (1:29-34).

As soon as Jesus left the meeting place with James and Joh, they went home with Simon and Andrew. When they got there, Jesus was told that Simon's mother-in-law was sick in bed with fever. Jesus went to her. He took hold of her hand and helped her up. The fever left her, and she served them a meal. That evening after sunset, all who were sick or had demons in them were brought to Jesus. In fact, the whole town gathered around the door of the house. Jesus healed all kinds of terrible diseases and forced out a lot of demons.

The Gospel of the Lord.

All: Praise to You, Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus performed many miracles and healed people who were sick. Those who saw Jesus perform such wonderful deeds came to believe he was the Son of God.
