they watched Jesus closely… 

“Jesus entered the synagogue. There was a man there who had a withered hand.
They watched Jesus closely to see if he would cure him on the sabbath so that they might accuse him.” (MK 3: 1-2) 

Today again we have the same situation: “they watched Jesus closely” not to learn from Him how to love, how to respect, how to grow in prayer, and how to have a close relationship with God, but to “accuse him.” We know how horrible it was. But we can do exactly the same when we look to our spouses not to protect, but to accuse, not to love, but to condemn. 

“Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and cured every disease among the people.” (Gospel Acclamation)
