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 goes also. The
moment they get the information that Jesus is near them they hurry to go to Him
to have this healing encounter with Jesus. 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 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 humble and kind.
