Today’s gospel is about being open and the healing power of the Lord’s touch. When we open our hearts and our minds to the possibilities of loving one another more, our hearts are changed. Perhaps you are in need of physical healing today and so we pray for all those suffering with an illness and beg God for the mercy of healing.
All of us, whether we are great or small, rich or poor, influential, famous or unknown, God loves all of us equally, which is exactly what the Lord wanted to share with us in the gospel and readings today.
