“The Good News”

My Friends,

Today’s Gospel: Luke 4:38-44 (Many Are Healed By Jesus)
“And he arose and left the synagogue and entered Simon's house. Now Simon's mother-in-law was ill with a high fever, and they asked him about her. And he stood over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her; and immediately she rose and served them. Now when the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to him; and he laid his hands on every one of them and healed them. And demons also came out of many, crying, "You are the Son of God!" But he rebuked them, and would not allow them to speak, because they knew that he was the Christ. And when it was day he departed and went into a lonely place. And the people sought him and came to him and would have kept him from leaving them; but he said to them, "I must preach the good news of the kingdom of God to the other cities also; for I was sent for this purpose." And he was preaching in the synagogues of Judea.”

Reflection:
Are you too proud, too honorable, too well off that you can’t bow down to the Lord and ask Him for a healing? Well, are you? Some things need to be asked bluntly. Think of this and I don’t say it lightly; the more we take care of ourselves the better we are to take care of others. Yes, we must continue to focus on others. Please try to keep your eyes off of yourself. We all are guilty of that, from time to time, some more than others. But if we practice it day by day it will be become more and more a part of who we really are.

We must know where demons can lurk and do all we can to avoid them. Where you ask? They lurk in the gallows of sin and selfishness. Just as we must know and recognize Jesus’ voice and know Him; as you have read in several different recent scriptures the demons know exactly who Jesus is, “You are the Son of God!" the real question is, why don’t some of us know Jesus like that? We must spend more time in His word, spend more time in His presence in Adoration, spend more time in prayer with Him every single day. The more we spend time with Him, the more we will know Him.

Jesus never turns anyone away. We (our family) has been through a lot. Well, Chrissy suffered for 6 years, she is my wife for those of you who don’t know. We were married for 30 years. Her suffering began in May of 2010, she had been suffering with Stage 4 Lung Cancer, only by God’s Grace did He allow her to be with us for so long. My Aunt Ann had the exact same lung cancer many, many, years ago, she didn’t even live 2 years. Chrissy suffered tremendously, for those 6 years. Throughout her suffering we always turned to our Lord for mercy and compassion. Chrissy always said that she embraces God’s Will for her life. We never expected her to live as long as she did. So, we must recognize miracles and blessings; even when they are covered in pain and suffering. If we focus on the negative, we will find the negative; but if we focus on Jesus we will find Jesus. See you guys tomorrow.
