‘All those who touched him were cured ‘
Mark 6: 53 – 56
When the people recognised Jesus, they crowded around him. This was because he was curing their sick.
Today, we can think of people who bring satisfaction and consolation to those in need. The late Archbishop Anthony Pantin was such a person, and congregations gathered to see and hear him wherever he was present. There have been others throughout history who were like that.
I am referring not only to saints but also to others who had a very positive influence on people. Nelson Mandela was such a person, and so too was Martin Luther King Jr., or perhaps a teacher who had a great influence on your life.
Lord, I thank you for those in our community who have a positive influence on those whom they meet. May we, too, by our love, have a healing influence on those whom we meet.
