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.
Fr.
Johnny Doherty, C.Ss.R.
