Gospel: Luke
4:38-44
After
Jesus left the synagogue, he entered the house of Simon. Simon’s mother-in-law
was afflicted with a severe fever, and they interceded with him about her. He
stood over her, rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up immediately and
waited on them.
At
sunset, all who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. He
laid his hands on each of them and cured them. And demons also came out from
many, shouting, “You are the Son of God.” But he rebuked them and did not allow
them to speak because they knew that he was the Christ.
At
daybreak, Jesus left and went to a deserted place. The crowds went looking for
him, and when they came to him, they tried to prevent him from leaving them. But
he said to them, “To the other towns also I must proclaim the good news of the
Kingdom of God, because for this purpose I have been sent.” And he was
preaching in the synagogues of Judea.

Reflection:
What do
you do after a busy and tiring day? Do you seek to be alone by yourself to
commune with God? After healing so many Jesus went to a deserted place at
daybreak to commune with God.
Jesus always finds time for God no matter how
busy He is. Why? Because Jesus derives strength from His communion with God. Do
you also derive strength from God? Do you seek communion with Jesus everyday?
The
beauty of always being in-touch with Jesus is you will never be lost in this
world. You would always have a strong anchor to stabilize your life. Do you
feel lost every once in while in this world? Ask Jesus to give you the strength
to survive the many backbreaking pressures in this world. Ask Jesus to journey
with you as you dive to your many pressure laden activities.
Always remember
that as you go through the daily grind of your life. Jesus is always there for
you ever ready to help you in whatever way possible. Always call on Jesus and
always seek His abiding presence in your life.
Do you
always seek the presence of Jesus in your life? – Marino J. Dasmarinas
