Day of Prayer for the Legal Protection of Unborn Children

He had cured many and, as a result, those who had diseases were pressing upon him to touch him.

We all have our failings, our illnesses, those things which weaken us both spiritually and physically. Jesus offers us healing and it is up to us to seek him out, to find him, and to knock at his door. This is what the crowds following Jesus did as they stretched out to touch him. They might not have understood the significance of their choice, but we do. We can see the full fruit of Christ’s life and the salvation He offers us.

Do we spend our days seeking out Christ like the crowds do? Do we stretch out our hands to touch Jesus and draw strength and healing from His graces? How can we help those who are weakened by sin or illness?

O Lord, we stretch out our hands to you let your grace flow into us.

Amen.
