Be Healed | February 8

Click here to read the daily readings from the USCCB website. 

What a fitting Gospel reading for this week! These next three days will prove remarkable for our community. Jesus is planning on doing amazing things through this parish mission. I can tell you that because of today's Gospel.

People recognized Jesus and knew His power. Their first reaction was to bring the sick to Him that they may be healed. They trusted Him. They had faith that He would bring their healing about.

That's what the mission the next few days is about. Do we have faith that Jesus still works miracles and healings today? Or have we placed all our faith in doctors and medicine? Be assured that these are gifts from the Lord and are to be utilized, but they only make up part of the picture. 

God desires to bring about healing and restoration to us. Sometimes God uses our physical ailments to bring our attention to our other needs for healing. I challenge you to give God the chance tonight, tomorrow, and Wednesday to bring about healing of heart and body.
