32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time \

The story of Peter’s mother-in-law. She was sick and Jesus made her well. And she “served” them
Sabbath dinner Peter’s mother in law is a poor widow – like the one in today’s gospel. These two poor widows
“got it” – who Jesus was, where he was from, and what His mission is. They are the only two in the whole gospel who “get it.” And they serve as bookend to
Mark’s gospel.
