Gospel
Mark 6:53-56
Reading
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak; and as many as touched it were healed.
(Mark 6:56)
Revelation
The Lord has brought me to a deeper dimension of faith and that is the "power of touch". A touch is a concrete expression of faith and love. If I regularly touch my love ones, it gives them the assurance that I truly love them and the confidence that "all will be well" for I am always with them.
Reflection
God's touch is a concrete expression of His great love and assurance that all will be well. In it flows hope that the receipient will experience the message that it brings. One touch and "all will be well", an assurance that the Lord Jesus Christ tells you today. Wherever there is peace, you will recognize the presence of God. He makes all things well so that you can enjoy the fullness and pleasures of life. This is how the Lord manifests His love for His people.
Reading
Lord Jesus,
You traveled through villages, towns, and countryside, bringing hope and healing to those in need. We come before You with faith, seeking Your touch to heal our hearts and bodies.
Grant us the grace to believe in Your power, and to reach out with faith, knowing that even the smallest touch of Your love can bring profound healing and peace.
Help us to trust in Your mercy, and to find comfort in Your presence. May Your healing grace flow through us, restoring us to wholeness and strength.
Amen.
