What’s it All about? (2nd Sunday of Lent: Genesis 22:1-18; Romans 8:31-34; Mark 9:2-10) Today’s responsorial is taken from Psalm 116. It is a prayer of thanksgiving after a crisis.

“I Know Who You Are” (4th Ordinary Sunday: Deuteronomy 18:15-20; 1 Cor. 7:32-35; Mark 1:21-28) In today’s Gospel, the people were astonished because Jesus “taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” One man in the synagogue, however, was not astonished but terrified.
