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 scurried 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:
Why do
you pray to Jesus? Perhaps you pray to Him because you want to offer all your
cares and worries to Him.
In our gospel,
people went to Him upon learning that Jesus was within their environment. They
brought along their sick and perhaps all of the problems that they’ve been
keeping in their hearts. They wanted healing for their body and soul and Jesus
did not disappoint them.
Whenever
we go to Jesus and we ask Him for something let us always expect that He will
grant us what we want from Him. Physical healing, emotional healing and any
other healing that we want Him to grant us. if we believe that Jesus has
already healed us then we are healed already! We have nothing to worry anymore;
it’s all in our state of mind.
But how
about those who pray to Jesus for physical healing but they are not healed. Yes
there are countless instances that we pray yet we don’t receive physical
healing. Physical healing is only a
minute part of the healing that we receive from Jesus.
What we
have to always recognize and be thankful for is the emotional and spiritual
healing that He generously gives us without fail whenever we go to Him.
If you’re
not healed physically you need not worry! The faith that you have in your heart
is more than enough for you to pull you through whatever worries and sickness
that you may have.
Simply
believe and have faith and let Jesus take control. – Marino J. Dasmarinas
