Reflection25

Now we are going to meditate on the holy gospel of St. Mathew chapter 9 verses 35 on wards. Here we can see the healing power of Jesus .Jesus healed so many people suffering from various diseases. Jesus is giving the same healing touch to each one of us .But sometime we cannot realize that.If you want to experience the healing power of GOD you have to be in the shadow of God which is known as the experience of Basalel.-to live in the shadow of GOD.

                     

                        But if we observe our life we can find an attachment towards earthly things .When we critically analyze our childhood we all have some simplicity in our life.But in the course of time some ego; croocutness; supieriority are taking place. Now we have to remember what Jesus did.He showed mercy and compassion towards others.  We have to imitate the humility of Jesus.

That is what we seen in the letter of ST. Paul to Philippians chapter 2 verses 6 onward.

                              Though he was in the form of God he did not regard as something to be exploited.  He emptied himself taking the form of a slave being born in human likeness.And 

Being found in  human form. He humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death even on across .Therefore God highly exalted and gave him the name that is above every name 

so that at the name of Jesus everyknee should bend heaven and on earth and every tongue should

Confess that JesusChrist is the lord.

                                    

There is no value for our ego and complex before the name of Jesus because he is the living example of humility. Every day JESUS is coming in the midst of us through the form of the Holy Eucharist as the sign of his simplicity and affection. It is very difficult to live in a simple manner in this modern world but it is only a human way of thinking. When you get the

Healing touch of JESUS it may not be difficult.

And Jesus is saying

The harvest is plentiful but the laboures are few. This is about priestly vocation. We have to

Remember that every priests and seminarians are the result of the particular love of JESUS

Eventhough they are not good in our eyes. So let us pray for getting a generous heart of

acceptance and simplicity.
