After curing Peter's mother-in-law, Jesus spent the evening curing all the sick and possessed that the townspeople brought to him. With a only a short night's sleep, he rose early to be alone in a deserted place to pray, but Simon and others found him told him that people were looking for him. He responded, "Let us go on to the nearby villages that I may preach there also. For this purpose have I come." (Mk 1: 38). Preach he did, also driving out demons and healing the sick. How his love moved him to raise people from the dust of disease and demon-possession, self-disgust, fear, ingratitude and selfishness.
His love continues to reach us and lift us out of that same dust. May we allow him to pick us up in a binding embrace and fuse our hearts with his so that his love will cast out our fears and problems and fill us with his own life, love and happiness. He knows us through and through, even in that awful place between the proverbial frying pan and fire where there seems to be no human solution, except to turn to him and let him do what he came to do: fill us with his love and save us from all evil.
