FIFTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
This weekend Jesus is welcomed into
the home of Andrew and Peter where he cures Peter’s
mother in-law who has a fever.
Jesus gives us no answer about suffering nor does
he try to explain why people have to suffer but he
does show the importance of turning suffering into
joy. Jesus identifies himself with the sick and the
dying, even to dying himself on the Cross, revealing
that suffering is part of God’s plan…this
weekends gospel does not guarantee our freedom from
suffering but assures us that God is with us however
great our suffering may be.
God is a caring God.
