Readings
First: Isaiah 40:21-31 The prophet reflects on asks ... Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Those who trust the Lord will rise like eagles
Psalm 147:1-11, 20 - How good it is to praise the Lord
Second: I Corinthians 9 16-23 - Paul says "I should be punished if I did not preach the Gospel ... I have made myself the slave of everyone so as to win as many as I could ....
Gospel: Mark 1 29-39 -Jesus heals: firstly Simon's mother-in-law of a fever, and then many in the town who were suffering diseases or possessed. Then he goes to a lonely place to pray - and then to the neighbouring towns to preach there too.
