THE GOSPEL
Mark 1:21-28The people were astonished at his teaching,
for he taught them as one having authority
and not as the scribes.
God, our
hope
is
that
you will
amaze us;
win us
with your words;
spellbind us
with your love.
And let us, with you,
cast out unclean spirits
from this world.
Human
trafficking,
pollution, poverty,
greed,
war.
Make the
unclean spirits
obey you,
within
our
small
efforts.
THE FIRST READING
Deuteronomy 18:15-20I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their kin
God,
do you raise up prophets
as in the time
of Moses?
Let us find them all around
as you put your words
into their mouths.
Let us listen.
Let us
hear.
THE SECOND READING
1 Corinthians 7:32-35
Brothers and Sisters: I should like you to be free of anxieties.
Lord
of Peace,
we want to love you only,
minus distractions,
minus
anxieties.
Give us
peaceful souls
and trusting hearts
this day and all our days
free of distractions and anxieties.
