REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 31 AUGUST 2011

Jesus calls us to holiness. His example of performing miracles by driving out sickness and evil from others shows his divinity and absolute power over the forces of darkness.

Bringing others from this darkness into the light is our mission. We must proclaim the good news as his disciples. As soon as Simon’s mother-in-law was cured she immediately went to work attending to others in need.

When God gives us a gift we MUST use it to good effect. I pray today that I might do this work for his pleasure and glory. Thank you for all the gifts in my life.
