Gospel: Mark 3:7-12
Jesus withdrew toward the sea with his disciples. A large number of
people followed from Galilee and from Judea. Hearing what he was doing, a large
number of people came to him also from Jerusalem, from Idumea, from beyond the
Jordan, and from the neighborhood of Tyre and Sidon. He told his disciples to
have a boat ready for him because of the crowd, so that they would not crush
him. He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing
upon him to touch him. And whenever unclean spirits saw him they would fall
down before him and shout, “You are the Son of God.” He warned them sternly not
to make him known.

Reflection:
Do you always go to Jesus in prayer everyday? It’s a must for all of us
believers so that He could always bless and heal us. If we will not
sought Jesus, to where would we go? We go after the ephemeral riches that this
world is always offering us? Until we become hooked to the many temporal
offerings of this world. Then slowly but surely the devil will see to it that
he gets hold of us as we go after the many tempting offerings of this world.
In our gospel people from all over the place went after Jesus because
they knew that only Jesus could heal and help them. They sought Jesus like a
priceless diamond so that they could be healed of their many sickness.
Let us learn from them by seeking Jesus as well in everyday of our life
through our prayers, our presence at Holy Mass and other forms of devotions
that will show our deep love for Jesus. Let us not wait for the time that
we are already sick before we embrace Jesus.
Let us go to Him now so that as we go on with our journey in this world
we will have Jesus journeying also by our side. And as He journeys with us He
will surely see to it that He will always be there for us. – Marino J.
