Wednesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time

Wednesday of the Twenty-second Week in Ordinary Time


Jesus cures and heals many different people in the Gospel today.  He starts out in Capernaum and when He tries to leave the people try to stop Him.  He explains that He has to go to other towns and villages in Judea to proclaim the Good News.  What does this mean for us?  It means that God isn't interested in offering salvation to some special group, as if no outsides to this little clique can be a part of it.  No, God is inviting many people to salvation and offering His healing grace.  May the Holy Spirit be with us to draw us ever closer to Heaven.
