Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint Mark 6, 53-56
After making the crossing to the other side of the sea,
Jesus and his disciples came to land at Gennesaret
and tied up there.
As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized him.
They scurried about the surrounding country
and began to bring in the sick on mats
to wherever they heard he was.
Whatever villages or towns or countryside he entered,
they laid the sick in the marketplaces
and begged him that they might touch only the tassel on his cloak;
and as many as touched it were healed.
To recognize Jesus leads you to be healeden you
1) To cross to the other side. This is what Jesus does, He does not stay still. A Christian has the obligation to move within his path of influence. We must go out and do as the disciples did. Go out without delay or laziness. We must not care if people shut the door in our faces. We must go out with enthusiasm and look for our brothers because there are many people who need God.
2) To touch. Trying to touch His cloak comes from need, the need to be healed. But to be able to feel that we have been cured, it is necessary to feel that we are loved. And when Jesus heals, He does so with tenderness and closeness. We have to show closeness and help people who are suffering, through our words, a look, a tender gesture. Healing comes from that recognition and being touched by God.
3) To heal. We must seek Jesus so that we might be healed by Him and go out to be compassionate with others in pain. There are a lot of sick people in life, and people who are truly hurt in their hearts. Please help save lives and opt for God.
May God bless you in the name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Always remember, Heaven is our Goal.
