Gospel: Luke 4:38-44
After Jesus left the synagogue, he
entered the house of Simon. Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe
fever, and they interceded with him about her. He stood over her, rebuked the
fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and waited on them.
At sunset, all who had people sick with
various diseases brought them to him. He laid his hands on each of them and
cured them. And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son
of God." But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak because they
knew that he was the Christ.
At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a
deserted place. The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him,
they tried to prevent him from leaving them. But he said to them, "To the
other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God, because
for this purpose I have been sent." And he was preaching in the synagogues
of Judea.

Reflection:
What do you do after a busy and tiring
day? Do you seek to be alone by yourself to commune with God? After a tiring day of healing Jesus went to a deserted place at daybreak to commune with God.
Jesus always finds time for God no
matter how busy He was. Why? Because Jesus derives strength from His communion
with God. Do you also derive strength from God? Do you seek communion with
Jesus everyday?
The beauty of always being in touch with
Jesus is you will never be lost in the sinful jungle of this world. Through
Jesus you always have a strong anchor to stabilize your life. Do you feel lost
every once in while in this world? Ask Jesus to give you the strength to
survive the many backbreaking pressures in this world. Ask Jesus to journey
with you as you dive to your many pressure laden activities.
Always remember that as you go through
the daily grind of your life. Jesus is always there for you ever ready to help
you in whatever way possible. Always call on Jesus and always seek His abiding
presence in your life.
Do you always seek the presence of Jesus
in your life? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
