January 29, 2012 - 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year B (Taught with Authority)

First Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15–20 (Moses Spoke); Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32–35 (Be Holy); Gospel: Mark 1:21–28 (He Commands)
Adults: Who has given witness to married love or the blessings of celibacy? What have I learned from these witnesses?
Children: Can I see ways that God is present in the love between two married people that I know?

“…he taught them as one having authority…”
This sense of authority seems to set Jesus apart from the scribes, what does that mean to you?
Have you ever been fooled by someone who you felt spoke with authority and whose “fame spread everywhere”?
If you knew the author of life as intimately as Jesus, might that make a difference? 
As part of God’s family with Jesus as your brother, what might you need to do in order to speak with authority?
What would you ask someone whom you felt “spoke with authority” in order to be convinced that (s)he really did?
