"Si Jesus nagpang-ayo sing madamo nga may mga balatian"

Ebanghelyo subong nga Adlaw (Marcos 1:29-39)
Naggwa sila sa sinagoga kag nagkadto dayon sa balay ni Simon kag ni Andres nga upod si Santiago kag si Juan.

Ang ugangan nga babayi ni Simon nagahigda nga may hilanat, kag sang pag-abot gid ni Jesus ginsugiran sia nahanungod sa iya.

Ginpalapitan siya ni Jesus, gin-uyatan sa kamot kag ginpabangon. Nag-ayo siya gilayon kag nag-amuma sa ila.

Sang sirom na, sa tapos matunod ang adlaw, ang mga tawo nagdala kay Jesus sang tanan nga mga masakiton kag sang mga ginagamhan sang yawa.

Ang tanan nga mga pumoluyo sang banwa nagtilipon sa atubangan sang balay.

Si Jesus nagpang-ayo sing madamo nga may mga nagakalainlain nga mga balatian kag nagtabog sang madamo nga mga yawa. Wala niya pagtuguti nga maghambal ang madamo nga mga yawa, tungod kay nahibal-an nila kon sin-o siya.

Madulumdulom pa sang masunod nga aga, si Jesus nagbangon kag naggwa sa balay. Nagkadto sia sa naligwin nga duog sa gwa sang banwa sa diin sia nagpangamuyo.

Pero si Simon kag ang iya mga kaupdanan nagpinangita sa iya.

Sang makita nila sia nagsiling sila, "Ginapangita ka sang tanan."

Pero nagsabat si Jesus: "Kinahanglan kita magkadto sa kaingod nga mga banwa. Kinahanglan magwali man ako didto tungod kay amo ini ang kabangdanan sang akon pagkari."

Gani ginlibot ni Jesus ang bug-os nga Galilea kag nagwali sa mga sinagoga kag nagtabog sang mga yawa. 

Prayers:
"Lord Jesus Christ, you have all power to heal and to deliver from harm. There is no trouble nor bondage you cannot overcome. Set me free to serve you joyfully and to love and serve others generously. May nothing hinder me from giving myself wholly to you and to your service."

Reflection of the Daily Gospel:
Who do you take your troubles to? Jesus' disciples freely brought their troubles to him because they found him ready and able to deal with any difficulty, affliction, or sickness which they encountered. When Simon brought Jesus to his home, his mother-in-law was instantly healed because Jesus heard Simon’s prayer. Jerome, an early church bible scholar and translator (c. 347-420), reflects on this passage:
“Can you imagine Jesus standing before your bed and you continue sleeping? It is absurd that you would remain in bed in his presence. Where is Jesus? He is already here offering himself to us. ‘In the middle,’ he says, ‘among you he stands, whom you do not recognize’ (Cf. John 1:26) ‘The kingdom of God is in your midst’ (Mark 1:15). Faith beholds Jesus among us. If we are unable to seize his hand, let us prostrate ourselves at his feet. If we are unable to reach his head, let us wash his feet with our tears. Our repentance is the perfume of the Savior. See how costly is the compassion of the Savior.”
Do you allow Jesus to be the Lord and healer in your personal life, family, and community? Approach him with expectant faith. God's healing power restores us not only to health but to active service and care of others. There is no trouble he does not want to help us with and there is no bondage he can't set us free from. Do you take your troubles to him with expectant faith that he will help you?
