We often look for the outward signs of healing, but miss the internal and spiritual ones, the ones that really count. Only God has the power to forgive sins, but we have the option of asking for this forgiveness.
Gospel Mt 9:1-8

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 4 JULY 2012
Strange how a whole people can reject the work of God. Sometimes when miracles happen, it scares us. Something we cannot understand. The Gadarenes reacted like a lot of us when we are faced with a mystery, something beautiful happened, perhaps a cure, a change of heart that we cannot fathom. We ask for the light of these moments to shine through to our hearts, rather than shutting the blinds and closing our eyes.
Gospel Mt 8:28-34
REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 2 JULY 2012
This reading seems rather harsh at first. Jesus does not have a place he can call home, as He is the Son of God. He expects followers to drop everything, and uses the important ritual of burying your own parents as an example of how much a commitment he wants from us. Let us reside in His presence today, understanding the Holy Spirit is with us at all times to guide us.
