February 5th 2012: Sunday Gospel Reflection


In today’s Gospel we read about how Jesus went to people in their brokenness and sickness and brought healing. Jesus will always reach out to meet us where we are at and offer us reconciliation and healing, no matter how far we have strayed or what we are doing.

After ministering to people’s needs he did not stay to celebrate, take a vacation or rest in contentment. Jesus went off to pray, to recharge His own connection and relationship with his Loving Father. Then, He traveled on to preach and to heal. God will not rest in seeking us out and dwelling with us, neither should we become complacent or content with our own lives. We are called to always be looking outside of ourselves to find the people and places where we are called to be God’s presence in the world. “Christ has not body know but yours, no hands but yours.” (St. Theresa of Avila)

Q: Who are people in my life who need God’s healing love this week? How can I concretely reach out to show them love this week?
