Thursday of the First Week in Ordinary Time

Year of Saint Joseph

Other saints: Saint Macrina the Elder (c. 340), paternal grandmother of SS Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen

Readings of the Day

RB: Ch 2:30-32

Mass: Heb 3:7-14; Resp ps 95; Mk 1:40-45

If today you hear His voice, harden not your hearts.

IN YOU, O LORD, IS THE FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, AND IN YOUR LIGHT WE SEE LIGHT.
(Communion Antiphon, Mass)

In today's reading from the letter to the Hebrews, we hear this: "Encourage yourselves daily while it is still 'today'" (Heb 3:13). Today is all we have. May we listen to Jesus "today" and not harden our hearts lest we forsake the living God (Heb 3:12). United in faith and prayer, let us encourage one another. Be made clean (Mk 1:41), says the Lord. 

Heal me, Lord, that I may be healed; save me that I may be saved, for it is you whom I praise.
(Jer 17:14)

SAINT MARCRINA THE ELDER,
PRAY FOR US.

SAINT JOSEPH,
PRAY FOR US.
