Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time

Here are the readings for the Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time,
February 5, 2012:

Job 7: 1-4, 6-7
Psalm 147: 1-6
1 Corinthians 9: 16-19, 22-23
Mark 1: 29-39

• Have there been times when you can identify with Job's mood in the first reading? What were the circumstances? How did you respond?
• In the Gospel, we witness Jesus curing and healing many who were sick. Do you carry any wounds? Invite Jesus to help you see the way to healing.

The topic for this Sunday's Catechumenate is Reconciliation.
