Gospel: Luke 13:10-17
He laid his hands on her, and she at once stood up straight and glorified God. But the leader of the synagogue, indignant that Jesus had cured on the sabbath, said to the crowd in reply, “There are six days when work should be done. Come on those days to be cured, not on the sabbath day.”
The Lord said to him in reply,
“Hypocrites! Does not each one of you on the Sabbath untie his ox or his ass
from the manger and lead it out for watering? This daughter of Abraham, whom
Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on
the sabbath day from this bondage?” When he said this, all his adversaries were
humiliated; and the whole crowd rejoiced at all the splendid deeds done by him.

Jesus compassion for us is unfathomable; His desire to heal us of our sickness (whatever it may be) is beyond question. But He also requires something from us and that is faith. If we have faith Jesus healing hands will touch and heal us.
The woman in the gospel who has been crippled by an evil spirit has faith. This is the reason why Jesus cured her even if it was Sabbath day, a day of rest for the Jewish people. Faith is the most important requirement for us to receive healing from Jesus. Without faith there would be no healing from Jesus.
Are you in need of healing from the Lord
right now? Pray and ask the greatest healer who ever walked this earth to heal
you. For nothing is impossible for Jesus, He always makes a way for us when
there seems to be no way. - Marino J. Dasmarinas
