Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B) Feb. 4 (Job 7:1-4. 6-7; Psalm 147; 1
Corinthians 9:16-19, 22-23; Mark 1:29-39)
There are many who would empathize with Job’s bleak outlook on life. His days
were filled with pain and struggle, and he could see no end to his situation. He
questioned even the meaning or value of his life.
