The physical curing of Simon’s mother in law and many others were miracles proving Jesus’s supernatural power. However, it is the restoration of the health of our souls by moving towards Him that we can receive this gift every day of our lives. Notice in this picture she moves her hands out towards Him, her eyes transfixed on his face. Imagine we could look into the face of God in our everyday lives, and be like the others in this painting, adoring and basking in His glory with love.

REFLECTION ON THE DAILY GOSPEL 4 DECEMBER 2012

Gospel Lk 10:21-24

The purity of a child’s heart and the love of their parents are borne out this scripture reading. The revelation of God the Father and the relationship between Jesus and His Father is wondrous in this passage, and that the revelation continues through the Holy Spirit each day of our lives. Perhaps we should ponder for a moment on the beauty of The Trinity revealed through the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Reflection

We can recognize where God has been, what he has done, and how he has worked through others. We don’t have the option to ask Jesus this question in person, but we can see his work through the Holy Spirit each day of our lives.
