Note: There was no Slice of Bread on July 6, due to a wonderful visit from one of my nephews, followed by a visiting nurse...some things are beyond our control. Here is a reflection on the Gospel passage for July 6, along with a slice of bread for for July 7.
Two miracles in today's gospel (Mt 9:18-26) involve physical contact with Jesus: the hemorrhaging widow.and the daughter of an official. The healing touch of Jesus is what we need often enough in our daily journey: sometimes physical healing, sometimes healing of spirit, sometimes just an assurance of his presence through others or in our daily prayer. Our lives can be touched by a reading, by a conversation, by a gesture of kindness from a friend, family member or stranger. We ourselves might be that healing touch for someone else. May we not be oblivious to the power Jesus has to reach us or others through us. "Dear God, use me as an instrument of your healing power and keep me open to receive healing from others."
