Mark 3: 7-12
Crowds Follow Jesus
7 Jesus withdrew with his disciples to the lake, and a large crowd from Galilee followed. 8 When they heard about all he was doing, many people came to him from Judea, Jerusalem, Idumea, and the regions across the Jordan and around Tyre and Sidon. 9 Because of the crowd he told his disciples to have a small boat ready for him, to keep the people from crowding him. 10 For he had healed many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward to touch him. 11 Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.” 12 But he gave them strict orders not to tell others about him.
Who among us doesn't need some sort of healing, be it of body, mind or soul? No matter what age we are, there is something that needs rectifying. We can just picture the crowds reaching out to Jesus for his healing touch; we can see ourselves in this crowd. Why wait for the crowds? Why not reach out from our quit prayer today and ask in faith for the healing we want, the healing we need?
Bro. Rene
Lord, in you we trust, and
you will not allow this trust to be in vain. You rescue us from
stumbling so that here on earth we will walk in the light of your hope
and in the strength of your grace. May we always through faith hear your
voice and be ready to do your will. Amen.
Rev. John Conley, C.S.C.
