A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched the leper, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.”
Mark 8:40-41
A great priest in our diocese, Msr. Cipple, always encourages us to ask a question before consuming the Eucharist at mass. “What healing do I need from Jesus in my life today?” I may not need to be healed of leprosy like the man in our Gospel reading today but there are many things that need healing in my life. Relationships I have damaged with my words and actions. My soul, from the sins I have committed against God. My heart, from the broken relationships of my past. The cool thing about Jesus is he is simply waiting for us to approach Him and ask for that healing. So I encourage you to ask…
What healing do I need from Jesus in my life today?
Jesus, send your healing power into my life.
