Jesus’s Healing and Our Lady of Lourdes - Daily Gospel Reflection

Today’s Sunday Gospel Reading is Mark 1:40-45

Jesus heals a leper with a compassionate touch, telling the him that He does in fact “will” the his healing, that he’d be made whole. We are all called to some kind of healing, and while not all will experience a physical healing, Jesus seeks to make us whole!

Ordinarily we’d be celebrating our Lady of Lourdes today. A common theme, every year thousands upon thousands of people pilgrim to Lourdes to experience physical, spiritual, or emotional healing. In Lourdes you see the same Jesus reaching out to touch us and saying “I want to heal you”

Let us pray for our sick brothers and sisters today, that through the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes, they would experience the healing power of God.
