Thursday, January 17 - St. Anthony

Heb 3:7-14  Ps 95:6-11  -Mark 1:40-45

We probably harbor a casual attitude

toward disobedience in our own ways.

For example, do we obey the Lord by

taking up our crosses and follow Him,

tithing, submitting to authority, sacrificing,

telling the truth, avoiding occasions of

sin, or evangelizing? These commandments

are not options, but they are widely ignored. 

For God's sake, and for your sake, obey!

Friday, January 18 - Heb 4:1-5, 11

Ps 78:3-4, 6-8  Mark 2:1-12

Jesus is the only way to our Father in

heaven. By ourselves, we are unable to

to obtain eternal life.

Saturday, January 19 - Heb 4:12-16

Ps 19:8-10, 15   - Mark 2:13-17

There is hope for the human race

because of Jesus' mercy-and only

because of His mercy. Jesus loves

the unlovable. Trust in Jesus.

Sunday, January 20, - Is 62:1-5

1Cor 12:4-11 - Ps 96:1-3, 7-10 - John 2:1-11

Like at the wedding feast of Cana where they

had "no more wine" many people beging

to let Jesus work in their lives when they

realize they are out of wine, love, strength,

energy, ideas, or hope. In the weakness of

our emptiness, God's power in us can

reach perfection. 

Monday, January 21 - St. Agnes

St. Agnes, a 12 year old girl, chose to

die a martyr rather than renounce a vow

of virginity she made when she gave her

life to Jesus.
