Alleluia, alleluia. Receive the word of God, not as the word of men, but as it truly is, the word of God. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel: Mark 1:21-28 And they entered into Capernaum. And entering into the synagogue promptly on the Sabbaths, he taught them. And they were astonished over his doctrine. For he was teaching them as one who has authority, and not like the scribes. And in their synagogue, there was a man with an unclean spirit; and he cried out, saying: “What are we to you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are: the Holy One of God.” And Jesus admonished him, saying, “Be silent, and depart from the man.” And the unclean spirit, convulsing him and crying out with a loud voice, departed from him. And they were all so amazed that they inquired among themselves, saying: “What is this? And what is this new doctrine? For with authority he commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey him.” And his fame went out quickly, throughout the entire region of Galilee. == Tuesday, January 14, 2025 - A moment with GOD through HIS WORD. Reflection: How can you rely on the authority of Christ to confront and overcome the evil you encounter in your daily life? Prayer: Lord, give me courage and wisdom when I face the activity of the evil one in this world. Give me wisdom to discern his hand at work and give me courage to confront and rebuke him with Your love and authority. May Your authority be alive in my life, Lord Jesus, and may I daily become a better instrument of the coming of Your Kingdom as I confront the evil present in this world. Jesus, I trust in You.
