It became very evident very early on that amazing healing power came forth from Jesus. It was unlike the other “faith-healers” of his day – it came from a different source, it came from a different love – it came directly from his person and that of his Father and the Holy Spirit. It was powerful and effective indeed.
That exact same power to heal is available today – and the same prerequisites are in place. Those who want to be healed need to “go to Jesus” – they need to reach out to him, in faith – they need to trust in his power to heal – and it will be granted to them: sometimes almost immediately, at other times, much more gradually; but always, in a way and time that is best for the one to be healed – whether it is for themselves or for someone for whom they are praying!
May we “go to Jesus” today with faith and trust – and believe that he can heal within us (and in those for whom we pray) that which needs healing so that we can be stellar instruments in his hands and the hands of his Father for the well-being of ourselves and of others – all others. He made us all to be his Friends, and Friends of one another. May we be that Communion of Friends this day – especially after receiving the Holy Bread of Friendship at this Mass.
Jesus preached the Gospel of the Kingdom and cured every disease among the people.
