Healing Masses, healing services...all becoming very popular with our aging population and it seems more priests are open to this ministry. We have not changed much from the days when Jesus was traveling the countryside with his reputation for healing growing with every cure. Like the poor, the ill will always be with us...and so will the compassionate, healing Jesus. There may be a successful surgery that we have prayed for, or a calming of a restless soul, or the return of a "stray" to the fold, but, indeed, prayers for healing are answered...miracles still happen.
Today's Gospel gives us the scene at the house or Peter, where his mother-in-law was ill. Jesus immediately helped her back on her feet and she began to wait on the guests right away. Amazing and admirable reaction. Instead of basking in her cure, she turned to serving others. Might this not be a hint for us?
