In today’s Gospel, we hear about Jesus healing a
mute demoniac who could finally speak out once the demons where driven out of
him. So often in the Gospels, we see
Jesus bringing healing into people’s lives, we see him performing miracles of
healing in order to give glory to God and in order to proclaim God’s kingdom to us
here on earth. These healings usually
bring about a great conversion of faith in the lives of those healed, healing on a psychological or spiritual or holistic level. Perhaps a great deal of healing takes place in the lives of the witnesses to these healings as well. Perhaps we are in search of a great, dramatic
healing event in our own lives, but perhaps we don’t see the small miracles that
Jesus works in our daily lives of faith.
Jesus tells us, “The harvest is abundant, but the laborers are
few.” There is so much we can do in our
lives to bring Jesus’ message of healing to others, to help Jesus work miracles in others’
lives. Sometimes we don’t know where to
begin in helping Jesus proclaim his word in the world today in the reality that we face. However, if we trust the Holy Spirit, I think
we’ll know where to start.
