Gospel: Mark 3:7-12
Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his
disciples. A large number of people followed from Galilee and from Judea. Hearing
what he was doing, a large number of people came to him also from Jerusalem,
from Idumea, from beyond the Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and
Sidon. He told his disciples to have a boat ready for him because of the crowd,
so that they would not crush him. He had cured many and, as a result, those who
had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him. And whenever unclean spirits
saw him they would fall down before him and shout, “You are the Son of God.” He
warned them sternly not to make him known.

Reflection:
Do you always go to Jesus in prayer
everyday? It’s is a must for all of us believers so that He could always bless
and heal us. If we will not sought
Jesus, to where would we go? We go after the ephemeral riches that this world
is always offering us?
Until we become hooked to the many temporal
offerings of this world. Then slowly but surely the devil will see to it that
he gets hold of us as we go after the many tempting offerings of this world.
In our gospel people from all over the place
went after Jesus because they knew that only Jesus could heal and help them. They
sought Jesus like a priceless diamond so that they could be healed of their many
sickness.
Let us learn from them by seeking Jesus as
well in everyday of our life through our prayers, our presence at Holy Mass and
other forms of devotions that will show our deep love for Jesus. Let us not wait for the time that we are
already sick before we embrace Jesus.
