Fifth
Sunday in Ordinary Time
“The
fever left her and she began to wait on them.”
One
of the lovely features of the Gospels is the
number of healing stories they contain. Nothing
is too big or too small to bring to Jesus. He
raised Lazarus from the dead; he healed Peter’s
mother-in-law from a fever. That same Jesus
is with us and among us with the same power
and the same longing, to heal us into wholeness.
All we have to do is ask him for what we need
for ourselves and for one another and know that
he will answer. We all need his healing power
in so far as we set limits to our love for one
another because his great commandment is to
love. Husbands and wives often need to stretch
their love into forgiveness if they are to go
forward together. Parents need to grow in understanding
of their children. And in our faith community
we need Christ’s power to help us to take
true responsibility for those in need.
