On leaving the synagogue Jesus entered the house of Simon and Andrew with James and John. Simon's mother-in-law lay sick with a fever. They immediately told him about her. He approached, grasped her hand, and helped her up. Then the fever left her, and she waited on them.
When it was evening, after sunset, they brought to him all who were ill or possessed by demons. The whole town was gathered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out many demons, not permitting them to speak because they knew him.
Rising very early before dawn, he left and went off to a deserted place, where he prayed. Simon and those who were with him pursued him and on finding him said, "Everyone is looking for you." He told them, "Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose, I have come." So he went into their synagogues, preaching and driving out demons throughout the whole of Galilee.

Lord Jesus, compassionate and loving God, many were cured, demons were driven out, and many were redeemed by your preaching. To this day, people are being cured, demons are being cast out, and your words are still transforming lives. None of us are worthy, yet, if you Will it, then it will be accomplished through Divine Grace. We pray for all those in need, and those who do not have a personal relationship with you. All we need to do is say, "Jesus, we love you." "Jesus, we love you." Amen!
