Heb 2:5-12; Mk 1:21-28

Homily

The Gospel begins with these words: ‘ Immediately on the Sabbath He (Jesus) went to the synagogue and taught there ’. Let's look at the context of this account in Mark's Gospel. We are at the beginning of the Gospel. Jesus was baptised and spent forty days in the desert, where He was tempted; then He returned to Galilee and chose His disciples. Then,' says the Gospel text, “”He went with His disciples to Capernaum, and immediately, on the Sabbath, He entered the synagogue to teach. Immediately He healed a man afflicted with an unclean spirit.

14 janvier 2025 - Mardi de la 1ère semaine

He 2,5-12; Mc 1, 21-28

Homélie

          L'Evangile commence par ces mots : « Aussitôt, le jour du sabbat il (Jésus) se rendit à la synagogue, et là il enseignait ». Examinons un peu le contexte de ce récit dans l'Évangile de Marc. Nous sommes au début de l'Évangile. Jésus a été baptisé et a passé quarante jours dans le désert, où il a été tenté ; après quoi il est retourné en Galilée et a choisi ses disciples. Ensuite, dit exactement le texte de l'Évangile, il se rendit avec ses disciples à Capharnaüm, et aussitôt, le jour du shabbat, il entra dans la synagogue pour enseigner. Aussitôt, il guérit un homme atteint d'un esprit impur.

12 January 2025 -- Feast of the Baptism of the Lord "C"

Is 40:1...11; Ti 2:11...3:7; Lk 3:15...22

Homily

Of the four Evangelists, Luke is always the one who emphasizes most everything that has to do with prayer. In the account of Jesus' baptism, he is the only one to mention that it was while Jesus was praying, after being baptized by John, that heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form of a dove. And it was through this same opening in heaven that the voice of the Father came, saying: "You are my Son; today I have begotten you ’. Let's try to see what this text teaches us about prayer.
