In today’s Gospel we see another example of Jesus caring for those who are suffering from sicknesses and disabilities of one kind or another. That someone could be interested in them and especially to be able to cure them was really a gift from God. Despite that fact that a great number of people are neglected in the world today who need care and help, there are a still a great number of people who are dedicated to the poor and the sick. This is a gift from God, both for them and for the people they help.
Are there possibilities in our own lives for some good deeds that could be done for someone we know? If responded to, this is a special gift of God to us. We all have a role in taking care for each other.
The people around Jesus were able to recognize the good that he did. Let’s ask God to strengthen us, to give us the courage to keep the acting in the hope that we may give witness by how we live.
