Father Csaba’s reflection on the gospel….Wednesday 6 September 2017
Jesus heals! Turns to the elderly suffering woman , starts talking with her, they have a chat and the sick person facing the wall . She got up immediately and waited on them.”
Lets look around us , how many “sick" people are there who face the wall and suffer !? Perhaps , I cannot heal but I should still go to a “suffering” person, turn to them with trust bend over them and ask for God’s healing grace with prayerful trust !! May the beautiful kind-hearted , ready-to-help face of our Lord Jesus Christ shine on my face, and may I help with merciful love the person in distress , trouble , and I should do whatever I can… If we embark on the way of serving brotherly love , we will be surprised ourselves , how far away that wall is and how much we can do for one another with enduring love this way !! Get going and know that the God of love will make the way obstacle free for a good willing man to surmount any difficulties in his way !!
With trust,
Father Csaba
translated by dr k.e.
After Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon.
Simon's mother-in-law was afflicted with a severe fever,
and they interceded with him about her.
He stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her.
She got up immediately and waited on them.
At sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him.
He laid his hands on each of them and cured them.
And demons also came out from many, shouting, "You are the Son of God."
But he rebuked them and did not allow them to speak
because they knew that he was the Christ.
At daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place.
The crowds went looking for him, and when they came to him,
they tried to prevent him from leaving them.
But he said to them, "To the other towns also
I must proclaim the good news of the Kingdom of God,
because for this purpose I have been sent."
And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.
Lk 4:38-44
