POWER OF GOD TO HEAL

D A I L Y G O S P E L

Let us never doubt the capacity and power of God to heal. Let us always believe in His goodness towards us even in the midst of trial and suffering as it is then that He is closest to us. Let us pray for the grace to be submissive to His will as we will only then discover what it truly means to be His disciple, and in walking in His ways, the wonders of a relationship with Him.

Mark 1:40-45

40 A leper came to him and kneeling down begged him and said, “If you wish, you can make me clean.” 41 Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand, touched him, and said to him, “I do will it. Be made clean.” 42 The leprosy left him immediately, and he was made clean. 43 Then, warning him sternly, he dismissed him at once. 44 Then he said to him, “See that you tell no one anything, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer for your cleansing what Moses prescribed; that will be proof for them.” 45 The man went away and began to publicize the whole matter. He spread the report abroad so that it was impossible for Jesus to enter a town openly. He remained outside in deserted places, and people kept coming to him from everywhere.
