Gospel: Mark 6:53-56
After making the crossing to the other side of
the sea, Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him. They scurry
about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to
wherever they heard he was. Whatever villages or towns or countryside he
entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might
touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.

Reflection:
Do you have the habit of touching the
image of Jesus in your house or when you are at church? Then as you touch His
image you say your silent prayer of petition and thanksgiving to Jesus.
Continue doing it because that is a good habit it signifies your humility and
surrender to the mighty power of Jesus.
The healing crusade of Jesus continues in our
gospel. Wherever He goes those who are in need of His healing go also. The
moment they get the information that Jesus is near them they hurry to go to Him
to have this healing encounter with Him. They never mind if they are not able
to talk to Jesus. It’s enough for them that they’re able touch any part of His
clothes. Or to have a glimpse of Him is already enough for them to be healed by
the mighty power of Jesus.
Up to this very moment this mighty healing
power of Jesus is very much present in our midst. For He’s just a prayer away,
His very image is within our reach. Look at the cross in your house or in your
church the image of Jesus is there. Touch Him and as you touch Him ask Him to
heal you, ask Him to change you ask Him to make you more gentle, humble and
patient.
