The Lord Jesus Christ sends us to preach the Gospel to all. This means that there are still people who do not hear the Gospel. To "preach the Gospel" is to reveal the Son of God to people. It is not just talking, but also convincing people to feel and experience God's love. Catechesis on the new Evangelization, with Fr. Randriamahenina Robert-Marie.
Tuesday, January 31, 2023 — Fourth Week in Ordinary Time — Odd Year — Christ took away our infirmities and bore our diseases — Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark (Mk 5: 21-43)
Book of Isaiah (Is 58: 7-10)
Thus says the LORD:
Share your bread with the hungry,
shelter the oppressed and the homeless;
clothe the naked when you see them,
and do not turn your back on your own.
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn,
and your wound shall quickly be healed;
your vindication shall go before you,
and the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer,
you shall cry for help, and he will say:Here I am!
If you remove from your midst
oppression, false accusation and malicious speech;
if you bestow your bread on the hungry
and satisfy the afflicted;
then light shall rise for you in the darkness,
and the gloom shall become for you like midday.
— The word of the Lord.
Psalm (Ps 112: 4-5, 6-7, 8-9)
Light shines through the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and merciful and just.
Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.
He shall never be moved;
the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance.
An evil report he shall not fear;
his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.
His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear.
Lavishly he gives to the poor;
His justice shall endure forever;
his horn shall be exalted in glory.
The first Letter of Saint Paul to the Corinthians (1 Cor 2: 1-5)
When I came to you, brothers and sisters,
proclaiming the mystery of God,
I did not come with sublimity of words or of wisdom.
For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you
except Jesus Christ, and him crucified.
I came to you in weakness and fear and much trembling,
and my message and my proclamation
were not with persuasive words of wisdom,
but with a demonstration of Spirit and power,
so that your faith might rest not on human wisdom
but on the power of God.
— The word of the Lord.
Alleluia. Alleluia.
I am the light of the world, says the Lord;
whoever follows me will have the light of life.
Alleluia.
Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Matthew (Mt 5: 13-16)
Jesus said to his disciples:
“You are the salt of the earth.
But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned?
It is no longer good for anything
but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.
You are the light of the world.
A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden.
Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket;
it is set on a lampstand,
where it gives light to all in the house.
Just so, your light must shine before others,
that they may see your good deeds
and glorify your heavenly Father.”
— The Gospel of the Lord.
Preach the Gospel: in French, it is "Évangélisation" which is the announcement of the Gospel to men and to all of nature. The transmission of the Gospel to the people by the Church is done in several ways depending on the place and the customs of the people being preached.
