There is no one on this planet who is not in need of some healing. For some it will be physical healing, but for many it will be the healing that we need when we have been hurt by life. It may be a worry or an anxiety about the future or about a family member or friend.
A question for us to reflect on in the coming week might be: “What is stopping me from being fully able to sing and leap with joy?†as Isaiah tells us will happen when people are released from what imprisons them. The story of Jesus healing the man who could not speak or hear is also a story for us. Can we allow ourselves to be healed of our impairment and become instruments of that healing love in our families and community? Let us pray that in the coming week the love that God has for us will be revealed and God will heal us in our need. Then we will be able to rejoice and say, “He has done all things well.â€
