PURPOSE BRINGS TRANQUILITY | The Word Exposed with Cardinal Tagle (February 4, 2024)
We are on the Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time; and in today’s gospel, we witness Jesus’s healing of Simon’s mother-in-law and the many others “who were ill or possessed by demons” and “who were sick with various diseases.” This is enough to overwhelm anyone.
Looking at the narrative, we can say that Jesus was a crowd drawer. And what was the reason? Last week, Saint Mark articulated what the people saw in Jesus: He was teaching with authority.
What is interesting in today’s gospel, dear friends, is that Jesus did not stay in one place where he could contain his already frenetic activity. He desired to “go on to the nearby villages that [he] may preach there also.” He had a clear sense of purpose and mission. A clear and compelling direction unifies many tasks and responsibilities.
